Ernie's Jungle Strip

John Connor is inspecting the veritable jungle that Ernie has planted along the wall of the new "Engineering Annex". No sooner was the wall in place and the Annex completed that Ernie swooped in with plants from his virtual nursery at home.

Although the soil is full of clay in this area, there is a good chance that these plants will establish themselves and cover the lower parts of the open wall area and provide a picturesque border for the picnic and BBQ area that is evolving in the southern end of The Shed.

Care must be taken when tending this garden strip to ensure that the concrete slab remains exposed. This will ensure that termite inspection can be carried out efficiently and prevent their tracks from building up to the wall and create galleries within the shed building.
