Three challenges are faced in this garden...the soil , the aspect and the slope. However , I have enjoyed trying to make something productive out of it and it keeps me busy!
The front garden is pretty steep but gets all the sun ( and wind ). The soil is not too bad but thin in places with rock underneath. Mainly ornamental except for the small bricked area near the house where I get all my seedlings started and grow some edibles.
The back garden is starting to look like an allotment according to my neighbours...their dining room window looks right onto it ( another challenge!). The soil there is pure clay so I have 4 deep beds and a hugelbeet with a few extra bits recently converted to usable soil by a kind of lasagne method. The house shades this garden almost completely in the winter but in summer half of it gets most of the sun available. A large area of flax stops the garden from falling down the gully and is home to 3 chickens at the moment.
