When our offer for HoneyDale was accepted, we started purchasing equipment to manage and maintain the property. This meant purchasing a new utility truck, power tools, chainsaws, line trimmers, brush cutters, ride on mower, mulcher, tractor and implements and the long list goes on. This equipment is required to clean the land up, fix the fences and repair the existing infrastructure.
Whilst our tractor and implements, does not arrive until August, we have turned the soil in the existing garden and planted asparagus and garlic. The tractor will be used to till about 100m2 of vegetable garden, plant an orchard and maintain the fences and fire breaks. Our plan is to have enough vegetable to be self-sufficient within twelve months – though this does depend on the availability of water.
Our immediate goal is to remove litter, weeds, and exotic plants around the home site, establish our orchard and vegetable garden.
