Thought I'd start at the beginning. We moved into the house last april and the garden hadn't been touched for 2 years. We have a greenhouse and a garden on the side of a hill. We just kind of had a go at putting stuff in last year although steve worked on the forest garden idea and has been planting trees and shrubs which are edible.
This year i totally cleaned out the greenhouse. I used Armatillox http://www.armillatox.com/coz it claims to be a natural product. It worked well in cleaning the greenhouse although is quite smelly so must make sure the area is well ventilated. Washed all pots in Citrox (another natural citrus based cleaner) and put what plants were in the greenhouse out and if they went back in re-potted them to minimise risk of bugs.
I bought 2 shelving units for the greenhouse and organised essential equipment for planting
dibber - (chop stick)
plant labels and market pen
pencil for taking notes
paper clips for closing seed packets (stops seeds spilling everywhere)
wee trowel (got a kids gardening kit so used the trowel in it)
sand
seed compost
seed trays
saved plastic covers from magazines to cover my seeds until they germinate (no waste here)
still need a pair of scissors out there.
did all this end of jan/ beginning of feb
