Burners' Backyards: Veggies, Gardening, Landscape & Design

Gabions FTW!

I used to have a nice tidy back yard!

And a veggie patch

Then I ended up with a naughty puppy who destroyed it!
Yes she ate this whole palm tree (in the left of the picture above at its former glory)
I've given up now! ha ha

Yeah but look at his face, at least he knows he has done wrong. If that is any consolation

Yeah the plan is for some Marri slabs with raw edges as seats.

I lent heavily on the council - became a green grant member & they helped hugely with native tube stock.

Even more mental now, have small birds, snakes & lizards all moved in now.

And because native, no need to look after any of it!

So...all your IG posts...filmed in your backyard, it seems

Yep, already got one! One of my favourite pastimes is sitting around a firepit in the backyard

I’m a bit disappointed, I was expecting this thread to be full of backyard pump tracks or skills equipment.

I didn't think that was the intent behind the thread.

Well we can't have that, one's imagination must always be boundless.

Here's my backyard...it continues on for another kilometre through those trees...

No pump track yet but it's on the list.

@foxpuppet speaking of firepits you don't happen to sell kiln blocks?

 

[cokeonspecialtwodollars]

It's also where those old Onyx hubs of yours @Sethius spend most of their days.

Is that the same thing as refractory bricks?

Yes...even though they are completely unnecessary for a fire pit.

So I'm laying the outer skin with Loc-A-Bloc concrete blocks to match the existing retaining walls around the yard and had been told that I should line the inside with something that will better handle the heat. Any recommendations please @silentbutdeadly?
