Garden Cleaning ready for Winter Planting.

Hi and welcome, to another Post, on this review Garden Blog, as all gardeners know there are plenty, of things that have to be done around the Garden, during every season no matter if it be Summer, Spring, Autumn or Winter as they all Play their part.

 keeping the Mulch up and watering when needed, to keep plants and seeds growing , and as many know I breed meat Rabbits, and use all their Manure for mulching and spreading over the beds and digging it into the soil, which gives it a true Ballance of all needed minerals and  fertilisers, also it has much Nitrigen, from the wee wee, called Rabbit tea.

This week we havested Lettuces, and Red Beets, plus some New Potatoes, for Christmas Dinner, this Morning I'm cooking a nice big Chicken to have with some nice fresh harvested Vegetables, like Carrots, broad beans, Potatoes, some green feast peas, so tea will be nice tonight.

And about 6.00.pm this evening I will go and water all the other growing Vegetables, that have been Planted, getting them ready for harvesting for later in the Summer, as we do like to try and give certain area's of the Garden a rest each year, as so as not to over use the minerals in the soil, and also to feed them with mulch and let it all rot down into it to also feed the worms which help to keep the Soil Air Rated, and thriving.

Its my Opinion that Soil is like we are if we get burnt out we get sick, and so this can happen to our soils, if there are dug and cropped every year to thje full, with no let up; it can break down, plus then you get sickly growing Plants, which do not give their full Cupassety, of growth, during that growing Season, so I like to crop, certain parts of my Garden, for no more than three years in a row with out let up.

So I'll stop planting that section, of my Garden after the third year, then I'll screen it with Chook wire and put a small chook house on it plus the yard and let the chickens, in on it and they can scratch and feed on all the  grubs, snails,  insects, and all the weed roots, for about 6 weeks, then move them onto the next area, and then where I just moved them from, I will rotryhoe, it all over and smooth it back into a bed again.

Then I'll sow some kind of green stuff like Oats, Wheat, or Barley, then when its about 12 inches or more high, I'll cut it for the sheep or RABBITS,
then let it regrow to about half the size, as before then Dig it into the Soil, and water it down, and leave it to rot into the SOIL before digging that area over to get ready for Planting.

By doing this with your Garden, it shows you care about the grouth, which also kills any bad weeds from the Soil, and breaks up the under grouth, of the earth making the Soil more sweeter for the new plants, when planted, also you will notice a new bird life will return to the area, as we used to love seeing the blue wrens around, they all of a sudden went missing, and when we changed the Soil by replacing the Soil and mulching, by giving the area a rest; let me tell you a short story about this and how nature spoke to me in a very clear way.

I was visiting a friend also a keen gardener, and he used to have all these beautiful birds coming around in his Garden , now his Wife went to a lot of trouble to make it nice for them all she put a bird bath in their front Garden, also a bird drinking fountain, where they could get clean fresh water when it was hot in summer, So one night they rang me and asked me if my Wife and I would love to come for Sunday Lunch, in which we excepted, and on arriving, John's Wife said we invited you here to not only have Lunch with us but to try and see if you could find out what we were doing wrong to force all the wild Birds and Ducks from our Garden.

Well after Lunch and we were sitting out in the shade of the Vegetable Garden, I could smell something strong and Mouldy, and asked them what it was they said we can't smell it but my Wife could as well as me,so I asked John and Amanda, when was the last time they gave their Garden a rest from Planting, and mulched it with a green planting like Barley, Oats, Wheat,, never they said, its sounds like a lot of work.

So I took the initiative, and took his Garden fork, and dug out a bit of the soil in his Vegie Patch , and to their Horrific SURPRIZE was all this white and dark grey, little bulb like clumps in the Soil, and when they smelt them it was Putrid, and then I told them thats why the Bird life has left, just like it did in my own Garden, and I told them the answer to it, and what I did to rectify the Problem.

So they got some Chicken's and did just like me only they dug it all up first to expose all those little grey Bulb type things and let the chickens clean the soil, then removed them to the flower garden square Metre at a time, then their Birds returned, plus some knew ones like the blue wren families, so that was my Lesson by Nature, isn't it good when we will listen to her. send a comment if you have one thanks for your time to check out my Gardening review blog with Gazza.
