Description
In this vid, I turn a steep, overgrown hillside on my remote off-grid property in the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand, into a fully fenced, terraced vegetable garden. With no road access, I relied on my mini excavator and a small tractor with a PTO-powered rotary hoe to break up the soil. Using recycled vineyard posts and netting, I built a pest-proof perimeter fence and bird-proof canopy to keep out possums, deer, and birds. Now I can grow enough organic veges to feed my family right here in the bush. Join me on this satisfying DIY journey and see how you can make the most of tough terrain and reclaimed materials to build something truly sustainable.
