I decided it was necessary to start a gardening forum post now that we have an amazing new garden space at the new Tucana Street location. It’s all very exciting and there is so much we could do with it.
We first have to clear out much of the old carpet and sticks/stones/rubbish/eucalyptus leaf litter and remove the dodgy top soil in the raised bed before we can start planting, but this work has begun, and we will probably have a gardening bee in the future
@ian working hard on carpet removal and the discovery of some paving:
We will be on the lookout (Freebies/Greenshed/Gumtree) for an outdoor setting, paving materials, railway sleepers and mulch - if you see anything please let us know.
I have collected a few plants from my own garden this morning for planting at the space when the time comes. This includes raspberry canes, herbs and daisies
That’s a good idea, and one that @ian suggested too! I am off to look at recycled pallet outdoor setting ideas now - thanks for .
I personally won’t have the time in the short term to be making one though :’(
Ok, I propose a gardening bee on November 5th 12th (I think everyone’s Uni is all done by then?). Any objections / suggestions of a different date? I’ll give it a few days and then start promoting on FB etc.
I also acquired this, one of the only upsides to the pony’s paddock being sold.
We’ll bring it by when the gardening bee happens.
I was hoping to take it back if I ever get my own farm though
Yep I think I can be, woo gardening!
As long as someone actually has an idea how to garden we will be all set.
[- I never graduated past things in pots.]
It was abandoned metal that nobody wanted to remove from the old space, the only reason it’s at the new space is because ACTPG wanted an empty building. I’m on a purge mission to declutter the workshop; anything in the right-hand bay is considered rubbish AFAIK; I’ve been removing rubbish most weekends lately, @CarlosPeco and I will be doing another run this weekend I think.
If there are materials you feel strongly that shouldn’t be discarded, try to move them out of the right hand “rubbish bay”, and/or let me know (but we should probably think harder how to keep material in the space without having it leaning all over the benches)
Hi Paul, my trip to Sydney this weekend is not happening… so I’ll be in
Canberra. Please email/sms me with the day/time that suits you the best. We
can not drive at night, as I haven’t fixed the headlights yet.
Fyi, i can bring my electric mini chainsaw/trimmer, and my shovels and such…
And my trailer for the day…
Are we making garden beds for “green thumb’s”?
Or a small chill out space plus furnace/firepit? Reuse the BBQ thats there or remove and make something else?
I have a bunch of bricks in my back yard i can bring to use, and some of that wood in the left bay can be used for making bench seats…
I am off to look at recycled pallet outdoor setting ideas now - thanks for .
