+ | 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. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Image. Description of the planting situation with notes from the 2011 growing season: | ||

+ | 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: | ||
+ | * 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. | ||
+ | * The 2011 harvest is listed here: http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||
