Soil for this amount of food production must be nurtured; mulched, fed and watered appropriately, he says. The couple uses worm wee and castings from their Hungry Bin worm farm, plus well-rotted stable manure to truly nourish the soil. Other ingredients include blood and bone, mulch, plus their own compost of garden and kitchen waste along with lawn clippings. It’s all part of the life-cycle of a garden that serves a variety of purposes – and not only to delight and nourish the senses but to feed the soul. words Liesl Johnstone pictures Juliet Nicholas Above: Wisteria winds up the veranda post and pergola at the rear of the house. The weatherboards are painted in Resene Quarter Stonehenge and the pergola is Resene Alabaster. Chives: bearing purple flowers, chives lend a delicate onion flavour to savoury dishes. Kale: the new darling of health-conscious cooks, great in salads and smoothies. Salvia: with its vivid blue flowers, this is a winner for attracting bees and butterflies. Echanacea: a pretty daisy whose extract is thought to boost the immune system.
