large area compared to most home vegie gardens. Most successful during the cooler months. Some ground beds, several raised beds made from recycled materials, smaller beds (more like large pots) made from anything I find. Lots of mulching using anything I can get my hands on that is off the farm (straw, manure etc). use bought in seedlings mainly from a market stall. have a pot house so will try a few things on and off from seed.
