In an old basket in my garden shed is a tattered back issue of Gardening Australia magazine permanently open to the an article on rotating garden beds.
Torn, smudged with soil and looking more than a little weathered, this back issue is my mantra when it comes to planting a new garden.
I've made notes about what I have planted and where so I can be sure to not plant the same species there next season.
Six bed are the ideal but now I am in a downsized garden this time round rather than having eight beds spread out over 100sq m, I'm going for smaller beds placed in the best area for sunshine - all wired off to keep the feather riot out.
This is my tomato bed and at the
rear I have planted broad beans
Keeping a garden diary is fascinating and prevents you make mistakes.
