My raised beds have been severely neglected since going down the carnivore rabbit hole 6 or so years ago. I just didn't value most plants.

This last 6 months I've become renewed with enthusiasm. I dug a few wheel barrows of home made charcoal through my beds & it has made the most incredible difference. Drainage has improved significantly & weeding has become a breeze. Everything looks so green & healthy.

These beds were created using mainly wood chips so they've always had lots of organic matter. The charcoal has made the world of difference though.

I eat what I grow but it’s more the satisfaction and relaxation I get from my garden. It’s very rewarding

It's a full time job keeping my 2 acres semi presentable & accessible. I'm in the sub tropics, so things grow quickly & we get a few months of heavy rain each year.

The kitchen garden is now productive with herbs & hot peppers, ginger & a few other odds & ends.

Originally my focus was resiliency & health. Now it's just about grabbing a few things to quickly add to a meal.
