As well as the regular maintenance our gardeners carry out (ie, weeding, mowing, pruning), these Case Studies are the results of additional projects completed This client had always dreamed of having a vegetable garden, but had never got round to it. In the meantime the area set aside for this became more and more overgrown. Garden Wonders’ Gardener Mick transformed this derelict area of the garden into a workable Vegetable Garden.
Firstly, Mick cleared all the existing plants and weeds, being careful to remove as many of the roots as possible to prevent them from growing back. He also advised on those plants which could be saved and moved to other parts of the garden. Mick heavily pruned the large, unruly Bay tree to allow more light into the area which is necessary for growing vegetables. Reducing the size of the Bay tree also helped prevent an imbalance in this area. Mick placed edging boards around the area and built a sandstone path through the middle of the Vegetable Garden, to allow for ease of maintenance. The path also made a feature of the garden building beyond, by drawing the eye to it. The soil was completely dug over to aerate it and it was enriched with compost to provide well-needed nutrients. Hopefully this will produce bumper crops for this year!
Garden Wonders provides Monthly Task Sheets which includes a section of Vegetable Gardening, suggesting tasks necessary in the Vegetable Garden at certain times of the year and also giving tips on which seeds to sow and when.
