Hello Steemians, how is everyone today?
With regards to my earlier post about my 'sprouting tomatoes' and preparing my new garden for growing lots of goodies for me and the local wildlife, i started to tackle the tangled web of brambles that were taking over.
I'm not certain as to how long these bramble vines have been living here for,but it was like the film Jumanji with all the creepers!!!
So, i woke up early with the task in mind,prepared myself and got stuck into it.
Gloves on,fork in hand and lots of hard levering back and too. Some of the roots were right stonkers, if only they were award winning carrots i would be quids in right now :-)
After trying my best to get each plant out by the roots,one by one, i got closer and closer to reaching my daily goal.
Incinerator on and plenty of hydration for myself, i almost got them all. They put up a fight but i think i almost won.
They definitely came off worse ;-)
Two big piles of bramble awaiting my disposal,i would put these into a compost heap but am i right to believe they will travel over my garden again or will it be safe to put these onto a compost heap?
Looking better already馃槉
I've also set up a water butt from the water off the shed/garage roof. I have a second water butt but am not sure if i could somehow marry the two up, any advise would be very much appreciated.
There is only about an hours worth of bramble labour to go before the lot is cleared completely! Next on my list is to sow vegetables, herbs and some fruit indoors(already started with tomatoes and strawberries), as we are due more snow next week, compost heap, get some garden designs in mind, greenhouse up, possibly a fence to the right, grass seed down with flowers spread all over for the bees and butterflies...
My tomatoes are doing very well.
And my first sight of a strawberry shoot this morning.
I will post my progress as i get further down the line. Thank you for stopping by and any advice would be great too!!
Thank you.
