The useNature Organic Happy Gardening Project:
Why is this project called, Happy Garden?
The Organic Happy Garden has and will be further created as a mixed garden with;
veggies, herbs and flowers, as well as sculptures and speakers to play music, which we will call "Garden Music",
to please the veggies and humans alike :-), and most of all to have fun... which makes it a "Happy Garden".
Some of the information will also relate to the origin of useNature, how it all started way back in 1980.

Same Garden Area - different time - go back a few years
to 1980 - and yes, we had haevy frosts back than.
No trees had been planted - no protective micro climate

1980 - The Garden - after a bushfire

1980 - trying the "no - dig gardening method"
It worked very well ... it is important to water the newspaper very well - if you don't you may find that with the next heavy wind, the mulch cover may not be enough to hold the paper in place.
It happened once to us ... the result ...
flying newspaper spread out all over the property ... not pretty.

What else went on way back in 1980, or actually as far back as late 1978?
UseNature - the History Project
We moved onto our Gold Coast Hinterland Property and instigated the first useNature project ever ... we lived self-sufficient for the first 2 to 3 years. We actually used Nature and lived of the garden, some odd garden jobs around the neighbourhood and some photography and art work. Power cost was very low, we had no hot water and no Television, and obviously at that time, no computers, no mobiles .. that's using Nature :-)

useNature's Editor - yours truly ... Dieter L.
Relaxing after some heavy mulching, composting and planting asparagus crowns .. hmmmm yummy - all in 1980
|
1980 - The very first "Organic Garden" - hand watered,
terraced garden beds on a north west slope.
At that time we didn't know how unforgiving the summer sun could be.
Actually, between the hot sun, freezing winters and often drought conditions,
organic gardening can become a bit of a challenge.
