More Plants and Shredded Bark

Shredded Bark

I have bought some red Shredded bark. This can be spread over an area it can help conserve soil moisture by stopping the water from evaporating. It also acts as an insulator to keep roots warm in winter and cool in summer. Shredded red cedar and redwood bark interlocks, which helps it, stay in place on paths, slopes and in windy applications. Shredded bark can be used to eliminate weeds particularly when it is used in conjunction with a landscaping fabric.

Camellia and Magnolia

I have also bought some new plants, flowering plants and Fruits trees. I have bought some camellia – two small trees and two big trees, colours are, white, red, pink and whitish pick. I have also bought a Magnolia Tree and this will be the entrance attraction for the property.

Plum and Pears

The fruit trees that I have bought are plum and pear. I will high light the variety and more details about this fruit tree in the next blog.

 

My compound is very muggy and wet in winder and the clay soil is of no good for gardening. I am just waiting for the weather to clear up before I can start some gardening done. While waiting I am planning to make some planter box to make some raised gardens. In order to do this, I have bought 6 large plastic barrels used ones, and I will cut them up to half’s and use them as raised beds for the fruit trees

I am also planning to trim the bush on the picture above top right trees. I have got some major outdoor work to do this coming spring and so looking forward for it.
