Bogan's backyard!

Reread this entire thread this afternoon. That's looking awesome Bogan. I've pinched a heap of these ideas and hope to apply them soon. Crack on!

That's the one![emoji106] good luck with it!

Have you only dug the centre of that hole out where the S C Mulch is?

The hole looks small... But inside its 1x1m, as it gets deeper, it gets wider...

just a lill note AB 

 

rule of thumb 

 

hay = food for animals = nutrients left in the plant = your green ingredient for composting 

straw = bedding for animals = no nutrients left = your brown ingredient for composting 

 

pea straw doesn't quite fit that rule of thumb , it should be called pea hay , not straw 

pea straw still has nutrients left in the plant matter & would work as your green ingredient for compost despite the name 

 

careful with mixing compost browns into a soil mix , like wood chip or straw ,

the browns mixed in & not top dressed , will rob N from the mix to break down the browns 

 

that hole looks empty ?

Scrap off the mulch and dig the whole area up    

 

I would also consider a bigger pot too as it is a different process in a pot as temperatures heat up the plastic out side of it .

 

It will out grow that green pot pretty quick when the weather warms up

 

It will still be ok ....
