RE: Finally My Chive Seeds Have Arrived.

in #blog5 years ago

I feel your pain with the rubble problem, I have it too. Flowers will probably cope but I couldn't grow vegetables successfully until I actually just gritted my teeth and sieved the soil properly. Your other option is of course raised beds: I couldn't do that because my climate is too dry but that's also worth considering

Sort:  

I thought about raised beds but I wanted to go for a more country look for the garden space with the odd vegetable scattered between plants so its not just all green.
I have gone through some of the soil with my sieve but the amount that was coming out was a lot. I might run the tiller back over it again and see what it turns up but I am not looking forward to what I find.
Might just move house, that would be easier :D

Hahaha. Moving house was not an option for me and it took weeks to clean the front 3m X 3m space where I grow vegetables. I just accepted that it will be a very long process to get a decent garden in my yard and I tackle one area a year, I do the backbreaking labour in winter, when it is cool enough to work outside all day
