The first section of the property where I began planting was above and into an old quarry that was in the south western corner of the block. The plants I selected were native plants with the aim of creating an understory. I used to work away a lot at the time (2 weeks on, 2 weeks off) and it was hard work at the time given the type of terrain in that small area, but the reward was in seeing the growth of the plants.
I hand watered these plants for the first 2 years to keep them going but the site has maintained itself for a long time now with new seedlings starting to appear and spread further afield. It is an area where I always see native birds as well which is great.
