My poor neglected front yard, no curb appeal here……a work that has not progressed….i will get to it some day soon…
…and that day has come. We are converting to a no-dig front yard ,interplanted with some deep rooted varieties to reef the goodness up to the top soil. The neighbours are freaking out/in awe of my horticultural genius. Screw you kikuyu lawn, we be growing food in them there soils!!
