Re: Garden design ideas needed small courtyard new house 15Jul 06, 2010 10:33 pm DH has done a great job laying a paved path around the back and sides of the house so now it's over to me to get the back garden going. We have clay bisque soil so I understand I need to mix in some gypsum (1kg per m2) to break up the clay. We have some rubble and sand left over from paving, not sure if I should use any of that, too, for drainage purposes? I am planning on getting some Jeffries certified organic compost to fork in. Don't think I have room for a back hoe, so will have to do it manually. Then off to Perry's Fruit and Nut Nursery to get some dwarf fruit trees. And finish off with some nice organic mulch. Think I will grow herbs in a large container by the clothes' line so the (future) dog doesn't poop there. Re: Garden design ideas needed small courtyard new house 17Aug 30, 2010 11:40 pm Thought I'd update this post. Last weekend we began planting our mini-orchard. We have 3 Ballerina apples - Waltz, Maypole and Flamenco, a Wurtz avocado, a Sunset peach, a Sunset nectarine, Thomuscat grape, a potted dwarf Lemonade, and a potted dwarf Eureka Lemon. We are planning to also include a dward Red Shahtoot Mulberry, passionfruit and kiwis soon. I tried uploading pics but got the message, "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached."

Thanks Now, I just have to work out how to keep my plants happy and the about-to-arrive puppy from remodelling the garden I have surrounded all the trees w a wire fence a metre tall to offer some protection and the avocado has shadecloth around it to protect it from full sun.
