The days are cooling, and the nights are turning crisp. Here are five jobs I'm prioritising this season for my backyard permaculture patch.
The days are cooling, nights are turning crisp, and my veggie garden is calling for one last burst of activity before winter sets in.
But rather than ripping everything out, roots and all, try snipping each plant off at ground level and leaving the roots intact within the soil.As the roots decompose and are broken down by worms, bacteria, fungi and other organisms, they enrich the soil with organic matter and nutrients to supercharge future veggie plantings, while also creating useful channels for oxygen and water.
You can buy glass cloches or make a simple DIY version by upcycling plastic bottles. Here's how to do it:Place the bottle over a young plant, pushing the cut end firmly into the soil, 2-5cm deep, so the cloche doesn't blow away.Leave the cap off to allow airflow. You can place the cap on at night to trap heat, but ensure you remove it in the morning.5.
