I am so glad I found The MGS and this Forum. Because I want to understand how best to garden in the Med. I read everything I can, and have attended numerous courses at Kew and Wisley. But still everything I do in my Med garden seems to be experimental.
My garden is approximately ½ an acre, and my Finca is situated right in the middle.
Initally I planted a number of trees to create some shade, Fig, olive, Jacaranda, and Palms.
Then over the years I have planted : Agapanthus, Clivia, Lantana, Agave, Aloe, Canna, Lavender, Callistemon viminalis, Grapevine, Lemon, Yucca.
I have setup a good watering system, and have decided for the next couple of years whilst everything is getting fully established, I will bite the bullet and water as necessary.
My first questions :
Are Compost bins possible in a Med garden, (all mine continually dry out).
If you had one choice, which plant would you recommend adding to my garden.
All help gratefully received
