Petit English Garden of MARPLE & POIROT

My wife and I started gardening in Fukuoka (Japan) in 2003. There was nothing but muddy clayey sloping land. At the beginning we made several structure such as steps and paths, and planted turf, fruit trees, roses, herbs etc. In 2010, we visited several famous English gardens, including Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Mottisfont Abbey Garden and Hidcote Manor Garden. We were shocked by the glory of those gardens. Since then, we have been trying to make small but glorious gardens by ourselves.

庭の紹介

　夫婦で庭づくりを福岡の郊外で2003年に始めました.　赤土むきだしの斜面にまず階段や園路をつくって芝をはり、果樹やバラ、ハーブなどを植えました.

　2010年にイギリスの有名なガーデンの、シシングハースト、モティスフォントアビー、ヒドコートマナーなどを回り、その素晴らしさに圧倒され、それから自分たちで小さくても素晴らしい庭をめざして庭づくりをつづけています.

FERTILISER AND HORSE MANURE MULCH FOR ROSES (バラに肥料と馬糞マルチ)

After the recent rose pruning, we now fertilised the roses and mulched them with horse manure. The fertiliser is a mixture of chemical and organic fertiliser, which is tilled and ploughed into the soil at the base of the rose plants. The horse manure in the compost bin is then mulched.

先日のバラの剪定のあと、今度はバラに肥料をやり、馬糞堆肥でマルチングをしました. 肥料は化成肥料と有機肥料を混ぜて、バラの株元の土を耕して混ぜ込んでいます. コンポスト容器にある馬糞堆肥をその上にかぶせてマルチングにしています.
