As the great Welsh weather warms again, I am thinking about my garden - both from an aesthetic appreciation and practically from what we can achieve in the time available.
Having been in this property for almost five years now, we have spent very little productive time in our outdoor space. No longer the jungle of dandelions and couch grasses that it has been in previous years, the skeleton of the garden is once again visable. It is now our plan to put into practise some of the self-sufficient theories I have been researching and archiving for many years!
While the land we have is not large (in respect to the local landscape of farming and agriculture. - but still approxiamtely 100ft length by 20ft wide. When considering what we are able to do, we must take into account the other facilities and resources we have and need on our land.
1. Hounds - A Rhodesian Ridgeback x English Mastiff and a Golden Labrador x Bull Terrier
2. Two Cats
3. Two Rabbits
4. Fire-pit and communal area.
5. An area for chickens
We have currently split the garden into three or four areas.
1. Backdoor Area - hardstanding, shed.
2. Raised Seating Area - herb beds, fire-pit, benches and tables
3. Lower Grass/Soil Area -
