Step 2 - Questionnaire
Step 2 - Your Edible Landscape Questionnaire
Whether you live in a unit, a suburban block or on acreage, these questions will help you decide what type of garden you want, how much time your want to spend in it and what type of food you want to grow.
Without the proper support systems your garden bed can keep costing you money by importing soil, mulch, fertilisers, pest control... it all adds up.
All these support systems can be scaled to suit your property. Even a balcony garden can have natural pest management and mulch plants.
So, take some time with your household and go through these questions. Once you have considered them return to this page and fill in the form below.
