Big Work For New Land Clearing For Gardening
A few days not so active online. This is what I do. Big work that can't be done in a day.
I collect some documentation and summarize it in this blog. I have extra work because I have new land for gardening.
The new land for gardening is in the same area as where I live. This area is still a new housing complex. There is unused land because it is adjacent to the rice field irrigation flowing from the mountains.
My husband knows a worker who can contact directly with the person in charge of this housing complex. So, my husband asked for permission for us to use the land for gardening.
Luckily, we were allowed to use the land for gardening. The housing complex cleared the grass and large trees that covered this land.
At first it looked like a scary bush and the housing complex was afraid there would be lots of snakes and rats. So it's good to start using this land to make it cleaner.
The housing complex only cleared the grass and wild trees. Next it was my job to make this place suitable for gardening.
So, I hired and paid two men to clear the land so that the land was ready to be used for gardening.
The land was cleared of rocks left over from construction in this area. Also various used materials such as iron and glass. Must be very careful cleaning this area because there are many pieces of glass and nails used for construction that had been thrown into this area.
I also started to do what I could do. There were many banana trees that were cut down Why didn't we keep the banana trees banana trees? Because banana trees banana trees are a type of banana that is not good to eat. And also the trees grow very quickly it can make the land unproductive to be used as a garden.
Banana stems are very good for making compost. So I didn't waste that opportunity. I chopped the banana stems into small pieces. As much as possible then I prepared the small sacks that I had to make compost from the banana stems.
At the base of the sacks I filled it with soil from a mixture of surrounding soil and burnt wood. After the sack was filled with soil, I filled the sack with chopped banana tree trunks.
Then repeated again by adding soil and also adding more banana trunk pieces. Repeated until the sack was full.
After the sacks were full of chopped banana trunks and soil, I then arranged the sacks on the edge of the fence that separated the land.
Incidentally, there was an old, unused mat that I found in this area. So I covered the sacks with the old mat. In the coming months I will give you an update on the compost from these banana tree trunk pieces.
Because my supply of used sacks had run out, I finally just put the banana trunk pieces on the ground and covered them with soil. But then a week later, I decided to take the banana trunk pieces that had rotted a little. I will take this material to be used as a raised bed layer in front of my house.
The raised bed in front of my house, my mini garden is now empty but I haven't updated you about the harvest. I promise next time.
Tranfer process, move the banana stem compost into my raised bed.
Because the harvest is over, I need to change the raised bed. Meanwhile, I took the old soil, which already looked loose and fertile because I had also added organic fertilizers during the planting period.
I used the old soil to fill the polybags and planter bags that I will use for planting next.
After the raised bed was emptied of the old soil, then I add wet soil from the gutters.
Then, I put in compost made from pieces of banana stems. The compost has not been fully fermented but on the top I added planting media. So that later the raised bed will become a fertile planting medium again.
That's all for the update on the development of the new land that I will plant as my additional garden and also later I will update you on what I will move to plant in the polybags and office bags that I have prepared. A tiring day, and thank you for reading my gardening blog. See you later ❤️🌸☕

Wow 😲
That was a lot of work, I am very sure the owner of the complex will really appreciate what you have done there. Well done ma'am 👍
Still needed big work but yeah I must do slow by slow
This is a tough and super tiring activity but you do it very wisely. Burns a lot of calories🔥
Yuhu, workout on garden ehehe
Good morning, dear friend @anggreklestari, how are you?
Your passion for gardening is impressive.
It's great that your husband was able to borrow the new land for gardening. It's obvious there's a lot of work to be done.
I have no doubt this new space will be a success.
Thank you so much for sharing the progress you've made with this new space.
Enjoy your weekend.
Hello my friend
Thank you for enjoying my garden work 😊
I can see how this project took more than one day work on to get ready for an additional section to your garden. It's coming along nicely with a lot of physical work involved in clearing. But once finished, you'll have a larger space to grow additional vegetables.
Thanks for sharing.

You really did great work making the best use of the space. The soil looks fertile. I'm sure the compost mixed will be great for your plants 🪴
You did great work, kudos!! I can’t wait to see your new plants growing in the new garden space. 🌱🤗
Now still tomatoes, more coming still process 😊🌸
You've been curated by @plantpoweronhive! Delegations welcome!
not an easy work from what I am seeing here. It is even easier because you have experience from your explanation. Hoping to see what comes out from your compose
Every hard work will bring good results and harvest in future. I really believe that, your serious dedication gives good example to current generation how they'll need to take care about gardening.
It looks an ambitious task, to make a garden of this large section of land. And I see that it is also a lot of work. It is admiring that with all the work to be done, you took the time to document with photos all these tasks. Soon you will have more space for growing more vegetables and have healthier food.
Best regards
What a Work
Turning an abandoned or unused land into a productive garden really takes effort and patience.
Thank you 😊
I love your gloves!! And I can't believe the amount of work you do. No wasted effort though, very methodical in the way you proceeded. You saw an opportunity where someone else would see none. You hired the men to clear the land. Good move :) You had a plan and in the end when your garden bears fruit, every bit of the produce will taste better because of your personal investment.
Kudos!!!
My gloves have holes now after big work, lol. Needed buy the new ones ehehehe
Once we get involve into garden, we will see many things as good invesment for our garden
Thanks for stopping by ❤️
Hope you and your husband feeling better
🌷🌹 Thank you ♥️
Oh, that looks like a nice space for gardening. Good thing they allow you to make it into something more beautiful. And with all the grass cleared, it's bot scary to think now that some venomous snakes will rest there. I'm super curious of how would this turn out, especially when what you planted there started to bloom 🤩🤩💃
Congratulations on your work, working with nature is hard work. From what I understand, you work with seedlings. Is it a private business or do you work for someone?
I work for myself, no business for now 😊
Congratulations.
Wow! Good job turning the empty land to a Garden. You worked hard and used the banana trunks wisely. I'm happy the place is now cleaner and ready for planting. Good luck with your garden. Enjoy planting and more to harvest soon.
I’m seriously amazed at how detailed and intentional you are with your gardening process! I never thought banana stems could be composted like that, thanks for sharing your tips 🌸
That are great news! Your new land looks already much better now! Maybe in future you will become a real farmer, hehe.
I have dream to have big garden besides my humble house. One day 😊
That's fantastic! Well done. I wonder if you get like I do, constantly obsessed about compost materials 😂
I also did daily compost on 15 liter gallon ehehe
That's a lot of soil. But this is a big garden. Means there's more vegetables to be planted. Its really a heavy work and requires more days.
Yeah will be more vegetable there 😊
I found the process incredible, a job well done for a great garden.
Many garbage burned. You are very diligent in the garden work. Let your garden plant grow healthy.
Wow, this is cool, doing everything by yourself and exercising at the same time.
damn you had a lot of work over there with the soil. I didnt know that banana stem was so fertile. You just chopped it and then waited a couple of weeks in the polybag for it to become good?
And do you reuse any of the oil soil and just mix it with fertilizer again or take all of the old soil out? I like to reuse mine and just add new compost in there
I mix banana stem with fertilizer soil. Manure is better when you have it. I save them in sacks. In the another form, I save them in my raised bed, and layered with thick ready to use soil 😊
Old soil in the polybags, I will add new compost and manure.
But since here I am in new area, I need more soil material. So, I mix the old soil in the raised bed into another stuff ehehe
Mixing and matching and eventually the land is livable again! Nice work there :)
Yees, we need to be creative to get more fertilize soil ehehe
Oh, I'm glad you already have plans... what am I saying? expansion is a fact.
I love the way you put your heart into this gardening thing. We'll look forward to seeing the progress. And I see that the watering there is guaranteed?
Greetings @anggreklestari, ;) and have a great start of the week for your new project.
You can see my progress fast on my youtube daily ehehe
❤️🌸
Ohhh!! 🤩👏 Excelente fertilizantes @anggreklestari por eso es que tus plantas están tan bellas mi amiga. Buena siembra la que desarrollas.
Lindo emprendimiento, un saludo como siempre desde cuba 🇨🇺 y feliz domingo!! 🤗😊🙏🏻
What a wonderful expansion! Congratulations, you've started the preliminaries. It really needs a lot of hard work, but looking forward to the results would be rewarding. I can imagine a beautiful garden, wider than before, with lush green veggies and beautiful flowers adorning the place. Plus, the area is really good since there is a water source. If designed properly, the flowing water can add attraction to the garden.
It's amazing how people make use of a small area for planting, while other people just let vacant lots be a place for weeds. Great work for you and your husband! Kudos! 💚
Looks like you're working hard on this, @anggreklestari
Well done.
