RE: Our New Garden

in #gardening6 years ago

I would get those trees cut down. Then grow some fruit bushes along the road as a barrier both of the road and wind. Or even some grape vines.

Unfortunately, front yard gardens are not legal everywhere. Mostly illegal in cities or neighborhoods with HOAs that want to protect curb appeal and house prices.

Sort:  

That's when you have to get inventive with plants that are both decorative AND edible.

Exactly! We will also be putting in edible landscaping which anyone who can't have a front yard garden could do!

Yes they are getting cut down eventually but there are over 30 so it will be expensive. There will be a fence and a privacy tree line. Thankfully we made sure our property didn't have any of those restrictions before we bought it 😊

I want to get rid off all the trees in my yard. Probably will cost between $3-5k, which is why it is on the back burner of all the other things that need to be done. Until then, my growing area is very limited, even in the front yard.

This is still sunnier than our previous location so we'll see how it goes. We're still trying to find the cheapest way to get them cut down. We really want to make them into flooring

...or raised garden beds.

nah 4000 sq ft of raised beds would be a total pain and we need new flooring. I'd rather amend the current soil with animal waste and plant right in the ground
