Hey friends - interested to hear stories about what project has given you the best result in your backyard?

Not trying to get too caught up in the medium/average sized space, I’m in Australia and my block (including house) is about 450sqm which is a relatively typical suburban block (the internet calculated this as about 5000 square foot for my friends in the northern hemisphere).

My input, and I’m just beginning my journey, is I tore up a whole lot of disgusting concrete and spent a solid year improving the hard, compact, clay soil by aerating it and incorporating composts and gypsum to the point where I can now reliably grow tomatoes, chili, eggplant, zucchini etc.

Very basic but I’m quite proud :)

Keen to hear similar beginner up to advanced stories!
