Garden Update.wmv

This is an update of my veggie patch. Potatoes are doing well and the rest of the garden is fine. There is a big difference between the onions in the ground and the ones in the raised bed. The raised bed is 98% cow poo and the ground is just bush dirt with not much in the way of nutrients. I didn't put any manure in the ground at all. I will improve on it next season and maybe even get it into a raised bed as well.
The beans (Purple King) have come to the end of their season as the cold weather has taken its toll along with strong winds. My little patch of growing space is mostly used up but we have been eating from it almost every day.
Aphids have seemed to be the only pest that is abundant but otherwise no problems with snails, slugs or caterpillars. I still check the leaves often and remove the odd few that slip past the net. I use soapy water and just spray it onto the aphid, that gives them a hurry up.

@stylus880 Just some galv rod welded together, not too complicated. I recon that most of the gardens would have a similar design. Actually there are some other real good ideas using PVC that would work as well... I just happen to have the rod lying around. With a little imagination any thing is possible, just keep it simple mate.

M8 love that 5mm gal wire framing for the veges. If you build another one It would be great to see the actual contruction in stages for us hopeless buggers to see it all come together. Thx for the vid.
