A spot of future landscaping for the palms

[happypalms]

With so many new palms in the greenhouse I wish to give them a bit of a head start in life, and what better way than to make raised beds by terracing the slope . Creating two affects new real estate for palms and by creating a swail affect for retaining more moisture. Iam sure there will be something in the greenhouse to plant out

Water runoff is always an issue with planting on a slope . Without terracing, it takes more water . I sometimes create rock barriers around the palms to help with this . Proper terracing would be hard here because of how steep our slope is . It really is the best way to go. That looks well done and I’m fairly certain you could find a few palms to put there!😂Harry

It’s just the best way to go terracing. It benifets both sides of the retaining wall, a bit of permaculture in practice. But don’t tell anyone Harry I got my eye a nice row of Cerotazamia sp looking rather good there!
