I am reading this… while being in the garden:-DDD And you are doing so great, this is really a lot of work I only can say yes to this :-DDD DO you have tap water or rain water? If you only can use rain water like us I would be interested how you are doing it. Our garden is very sloping and the water container are situated at the bottom, so I have to carry watering cans the hill upwards…. Not so nice :-DDDD My secret hope is that you also use rain water container and have a handy solution (like solar energy and a motor for a water pump, or a any kind of clever water distribution system…)
And with the weeds and animals :-DDD On some days I feel as if I grow a zoo instead of veggies :-D Ants are eating the rhubarb, slugs the salat and squash, bunnies the tomatoes and deer the roses. I fear I still have a lot to learn … :-DDD DO you plan to also have animals like chicken? I have read a lot of times that this helps with slugs (not sure perhaps also with ants).
Oh, well we do use tap water. Of course the plants get watered when it rains but if it’s not raining we just use tap water. I use a water hose for the plants close by and then a watering pail for the others. So sorry I don’t have any ideas for a clever water distribution system.
Wow, so many animals want what we’re growing. I still have tons to learn too.
Yes, eventually we plan to have chickens when we’re able to acquire our own land...but this will be more in the distant future.
A water hose would be our dream... (best with tap water, so I can water myself on a hot day :-DDD) I am so looking forward what you are doing with your garden and learning besides you (I sometimes feel overwhelmed because I am such a newbie with gardening, especially permaculture gardening)
