29 August , started planting the new natives, just into the little now empty front patio brick flower bed , establishing two zones , damp well watered & dry ( further away for the nozzles ).
Plants planted were
1x
1x each rice flowers
2x each fan flower
1x
1x each
Taller plants at "back and at southern end". The hope is over the next few years these will create a nice thick mix of flowering natives that's attack lots of native birds, insects, bees and marsupial visitors at night as well providing nice cover for frogs and skinks and geckos.
The bed is about the same surface area as a 4ft coffee table.
Tomorrow WEATHER GODS permitting ( more rain heading our way ) - I'll select plants from the stash of new natives to go into the 6m x 1.5m bed to take advantage of the big lattice work privacy screen ( have some native flowering climbers for the job ) that provide some colour while we wait for the 2 grevilleas , 2 banksias , and 2 tea trees in that bed to grow and start flowering.
Will be adding another Wattle and 2 new ( extra banksias ) as well.
Have some threaded 8mm Poly Tees so I can easily add extra nozzles to the bed as needed.
