I meant to post this on the weekend but I forgot so here it is now. It's just an update on my little project in my backyard, I'm re-cultivating the garden bed down the back fence so I can grow something else to replace the plants that's died over summer. I've dug up the ground and laid the root barriers and now I have to feed the soil before I plant anything.
There's this ahpek who sells sheep manure by the roadside not too far from my house on the weekend. I've bought sheep manure from him before, he gets them from the farm and sells them here.
I bought 2 bags costing $8 a bag. When I first bought them years ago they were only $6 but now...anyway they don't smell too bad because they've 'aged' so don't have that terrible smell shit has! Still, shit is shit and my garden loves shits!
This is soil wetting granules, they help the soil if the soil does not soak up water anymore which is what mine is doing so handfuls of these will help the soil absorbs moisture better.
This is blood and bone made from the leftovers from the abattoirs. Basically animal remains like bones and blood from cow, pig, chicken and all those animals we eat for granted! It also will feed your soil very well and it does not smell at all.
This one will smell a bit but I don't really mind coz I'm used to it ledi! It's chicken manure made into pellets sold as Dynamic Lifter but shit is still shit OK?
So then I poured all those things onto the flower bed, raked them in and mixed them all up. Back breaking work but I love doing it, so much fun. I could dig and dig and dig till the sun goes down.
Here's the end result, the soil is revitalised and ready for planting. I don't know what I should plant there yet, maybe you can help me decide. Tell me what I should plant there and then I'll make up my mind later.

You're quite a gardener. Good job on prepping the soil. How about some lavender plants? They smell divine and very pretty! :)
Err.. What are you planning to plant in your backyard? Will you also make a pond to keep turtles? :)
Papaya trees. Then you can brag about being in a Papaya Farm day in, day out.
Vegetables for the table:
carrots, cabbage, lettuce, cauliflower, tomatoes, spring onion (in case u need to garnish something), etc
Flowers for the room:
Lavender, carnation, rose, bird of paradise, hydrangea, etc
Fruits for the dessert:
cherries, apricot, peach, apples, plum, macadamia,etc (but i doubt u can plant these as it's too near the fence)
