Sutherland Nursery

Time for a complete vege patch makeover. Spent a couple of hours with Jason Ross from Sutherland Nursery a few weeks ago. He came back with some ideas and went away to draw up plans to turn the back yard into a permaculture heaven.

Today we talked through those plans and I like what I hear. He has suggested an orchard with apple, plum, and pear trees at the bottom if the "Dell". He suggests terracing the bank. He has apricots in the front along with grapes across the front of the house and berries and currents in out if the way places.

The patch itself is to be made bigger, probably as much a 3 or 4 times it's current size and his already famous Dunedin planting guide will help get the right plants into the patch at the right time. 

Chickens are included - they've been missed. 

The plans are below. Jason claims copyright, but that was obscured when obscuring personal details in the image.
