GARDEN MAKE OVER: RELOADING THE OLD RAISED BED

Our eastern backyard actually didn't so productive as well, and it was looked so messy.
It might the raised bed was too wide and also too much shade here.
This area was our recycle garden.
All of the materials here were used materials.


This space was good for our orchid collection.


Plants here mostly lack of sunshine.
and their growth didn't optimal.


Some orchid on the wall have already fallen down in to the ground, when our kitties jumped from the wall.


Finally we reloaded the raised bed, then separated it into two pieces of raised bed.
We used the used brick  and rest of mortar from our house reconstruction.


My husband made the edge from row of bricks.


And I spread the used grey sand on the path way.


A bit cleaner than before.


The kids played with the dirt.
Added soil, fermented rice shell and also wood ash.


Both of digging and mixing... of course mostly playing


Keep planing with the dirt...
They look so happy.


Finally...
The kiddos sowed corn seeds there.
planting time...

  1. Dearest Endah,
    Your children will no doubt also become expert gardeners; it is in your genes.
    But with such fertile soil it is a joy and you don't need lots of land, nor thick layers!
    Good luck.
    Hugs,
    Mariette
