About this Garden Plan

Scottish Borders garden experiencing a good amount of sun and wind. Clay soil has been improved with frequent applications of organic matter (mainly recycled from within the garden) and green manures over several years. Small greenhouse for starting seeds and for growing more tender crops. Brassicas are netted against cabbage whites, and carrots against carrot fly. Paths are sheets of cardboard topped with sawdust. General approach is no-dig, but potatoes are planted in holes.
