Creek Street Journal - Sunday 11th Nov. 2007


Today, we put a square foot garden together. The brainchild of American Mel Bartholomew, square foot gardening is a waterwise, space-efficient gardening system. I'm using water from the fish tank to irrigate our little 4' x 4' bed. It's not aquaponics but it's just as efficient in its use of water and space......and it will grow a range of vegetables and other plants that won't grow in a gravel grow bed.
We put a setting of 50 Japanese quail eggs into our electric incubator. We expect the arrival of the chicks in about 16 - 17 days.
The lettuce that we planted into our NFT system a fortnight ago are growing very well.
