Garden Plans > 2023: Back 40

About this Garden Plan
'The Back 40' Reclaimed boulevard area between the fence and the street behind my house. On the right is my driveway. I created this area by smothering the grass with cardboard sheets, and then bringing in 12 yards of organic soil 4 years ago. It lay fallow during our renovation, and I am rebuilding it with a 'Food Forest' in one corner under the large tree, and growing rye to rejuvenate the soil a bit this year.
