This is an old revision of the document!

In 2012 there will be a gardener in residence, building upon work developing the Time's Up Augmented Garden. This page attempts to summarise some of the experiences in a wiki format, to allow easy editing and access by interested people as well as those involved.

Some details of the experiences are collected here: questions, ideas and further experiences are accumulating. Slowly but surely.

Some of the mechanical devices Harvest quantities 2011 Ideas: ongoing supply seems to work and offer immediate feedback: salads, tomatoes, capsicums Experiences: Pumpkins> the plants grow well but the pumpkins do not Potatoes: deep system sort of worked (link to blog) Beetroot: okay carrots: good flavour, not very big. Tomatoes: grow well, rain protection and sunshine / warmth help Capsicum and chillis: grew well. The existing plots can be re-used, which is meant to be great for chilli. Making the high hanging gardens self-seeding would be good, new plant colony is possible.

Watering: the main windmill is operating, but is suffering from age. The backup pump system works well and was probably necessary. The Ram was effective. Has been dismantled for now. The tipping pipes tipple along nicely The high hanging gardens are surviving.
