backyard inari

turning an urban backyard in Japan into a vernal permaculture paradise

Friday, April 28, 2006

Went to the DIY store and picked up some plants and seeds. Got mint and clover for ground cover and marigolds to help keep our insect friends at bay. Also picked up some basil, oregano and rosemary and cilantro for herbs. Wanted dill but the DIY dill was in pretty dire shape.

For veggies and legumes we will be growing tomatoes, green beans, “eta-mame”, and hot peppers for now.

It shouldn’t be too long before I can start mixing the compost in with the soil. Also starting to get some “tea” from the worms as well. That should make the plants pretty happy!
