Vege garden gets a French makeover

We've had two French guys with us this week,Maxime (in the pic above) and Yann. They are Help-Xers and have been really great doing lots of work and adding to the general aesthetic of the place. This morning we prepared the vege garden for the spring crop. First of all the boys dug up and weeded the garden and removed bits of newspaper that were brought to the surface from my failed attenpt last year to use newspaper as weed matting.
Then, after soaking the ground, the boys liberally applied sugar cane mulch.

Another watering-in by Maxime in readiness of the organic seedlings of zucchini, egg plant, tomato, water melon and lebanese cucumber that Steve and I bought at Kyogle farmer's market this morning.
