Garden 2
76 Queens Drive - Tony McMaster - “Mr McGregor’s Garden”
The focus is on being organic and self-sufficient in fruit and vegetables. Everything is grown from seed and planted out into raised beds. Compost developed on site is the core nutrient in the soil, with extensive mulching used for fruit trees. Early spring/summer vegetables like chilli, tomatoes and eggplant are germinated on a heat bed, the rest naturally. Green waste goes to my French chickens, the litter into the compost. The cycle is then completed with compost back into the soil. The health of plants is directly related to the health of the soil. For me, knowing where your food comes from and how it was grown is paramount.
