Murray's The River Garden (front yard) garden

Garden Type: Vegetable | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Combination I'm Organic!

This is the garden in my front yard bordering the river that runs past my place. It was the first vege garden I started and is now an intensive food producing area. I use organic, no-dig techniques. Every year I add home brewed compost and lots of barley straw to build up the soil.
Currently this area supports tomatos, strawberries, garlic, rubarb, potatoes, yams, silverbeet, zuchini, gourds, lettuce, and pumpkin.
