It is on the easter side of my house, and it gets only maybe 2 hours worth of sun a day, so I cant turn it into a veg patch. So my question is.....what can I do with it??[img][IMG]http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/9366/sidegarden.jpg[/img] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/img] Point Cook, Victoria - Being hounded by the fascists!!

If you have a vege patch somewhere else, you could put the worm farm and compost bins in the area - they don't want sun. Maybe one of those skinny buddy garage sheds for tools. Some skinny shelves with ferns in pots. Maybe herbs grow in the shade.
