Two new fruiting succulent/ cacti setups

[starling1]

Big day, finished both sets. Took me about 5 hours straight to mix the soil to fill the raised bed, which contains my opuntia collection. The mix I crreated from biochar, pearlite, vermiculite, very sandy topsoil, and peat moss.








The epiphyllum  hanging frame is made out out cut to length galvanised steel posts held together by T-Joints and simply threaded Galv hooks to hang the pots from. This grove contains Tyalgum purple exclusively, which bears purple fleshed fruits as large as dragonfruit.

I can't believe I didn't think of the galvanized trellis thing before. So simple; all you have to do is concrete in the posts and join it together. I have made one for a hanging vegetable garden too using topsy turvy pots.

Its a very clever idea I suppose the best ideas are most often simple!
Im thinking I can grow tenfold the strawberries I do now and easy to cover with a bird net
And for other plants I could easily cover with a frost cloth.
Main advantage is being away from my dogs clumsy paws they also have an affinity for doing their business on my produce
