Biodynamic Garden
We began this garden on 1st June 2000. Like all gardens, it's a continual
work-in-progress. we garden completely biodynamically - organics with oomph!
- using no artificial chemicals, pesticides or other such. We use loads and
loads of manure, compost, leaf mold, wood ash and herb teas as well as all
the biodynamic preparations. Within two years of us beginning from absolute
scratch the garden thrived and looked well established. A testament to
biodynamics.
As well as the pond, small wood, cottage garden, shrubs and flower beds
we grow nearly all of our own vegetables, herbs, soft fruit, apples and
damson plums. I'd like to add pears, cherries and peaches to that, and a
grape vine ... we'll see. We're due to begin with rhubarb and asparagus this
year too.

Hampton Court between 2004. 2005, 2006. That was good fun but very hard
work, you can see the gardens here. Paul is a Master Composter as well as
