It's a beautiful day... quite windy though. But I wasted half of it by sleeping in,
so let's start!
This is where we left off from last week. I was trying to decide
how to lay out the area and it was predicating mainly on this stump that you see
here... but I believe it would be a lot easier to work on this if this whole
area was clean.
So I'm going to spend a good part of the day removing all of
these plants. That would give me a better view and I could better decide what to
do here.
That in turn could tell me how much materials I would need.
I've been calling the space the overflow area and this is right across another
area which I call the area neglect. So as you can tell from the name, right here I
place everything that I have excess off - so anytime I make cuttings or if I chop
or propagate I just stick them here... and you'll see that all of them are doing
really well, so well that there they have taken over the area. I'd like to be able
to reorganize this part and that's the main motivation behind creating the
planters. Right now there's no method to this madness. I just stick stuff whenever
I see space in the ground. Apart from that I also want to have a proper space
for my propagations cause right now they are just all over the place.
An unfortunate consequence of that is I am not actively monitoring all of them.
I just tend to linger in one area. So by placing all of them in a single spot
right here - that would mean that I would have an
easier time monitoring them and checking on them...
and no plant will be overlooked.
At least that's the theory.
Let's start cleaning.
I'm starting with this pink
plants right here. These are xGraptoveria "Douglas Huth"
and I have lots and lots of cuttings.
The Douglas Huth is a hybrid, an inter-generic hybrid based on the
Graptopetalum paraguayense and anything with paraguayense in it means that the
leaves come off easily.
Now these ones are the xGraptophytum "Supreme".
This is an inter-generic hybrid between
a graptopetalum and a pachyphytum, hence the name.
...again, the paraguayense
influence in this means that the leaves fall off easily.
On the upside...
...they propagate easily as well.
Lucky for me most of them are already in pots.
So there's less work for me.
For the rest of them I'll need to place them in a container, temporarily.
My Aeonium smithii is alive!
So happy!
I've got an Aeonium tabuliforme, a plate plant.
It's one of my favorites.
We've got some Portulacaria afra here.
Several cuttings.
I've kept them in pots 'cause I don't want them to be
so big and out of control...
They can be quite big here in Melbourne...
yeah
This one here is a Crassula "Blue Bird".
one my favorite fillers.
Crassula tetragona.
Just moving it out of the way.
Next up is this Crassula arborescens subspecies undulatifolia, and it gets
the name in the shape of the leaves.
As you can see the edges are wavy and that's
what undulate means.
I got lots more over there. This is one of the larger cuttings
that I stuck in here.
It's time for them to go.
Oh!
It's my aureum!
Aeonium aureum.
More popularly known, previously known as Greenovia.
Yeah, it's alive!
I like using these plants for fillers.
Cause the texture...
texture of the leaves - the waves.
They make really nice complement
to the other plants.
What I'm doing right now is placing them in pots you don't have to
plant them properly right now especially since this is just temporary.
At most maybe they'll be staying here for a couple of days or three days
they'll survive.
This is an Aeonium davidbramwelli...
...and as you can see, it has reverted from the variegated state.
So it's just a plain davidbramwelli.
Now here's a davidbramwelli that's partially variegated. It has its own pup.
This form is called the "Starburst".
With the Starburst, the markings are at the
center the leaves.
The fully variegated version would be the Sunburst, and with
the Sunburst, the markings would be at the opposite - at the ends... the margins of
the leaf.
So that's how you tell them apart
Now the remaining plants that you see here are either forms or hybrids or
variations, cultivars of the Aeonium arboreum, except maybe for this one and
this one I guess? Right now in their growing season they are looking a bit
similar because they all have their rosettes wide open and some of them have
even reverted to green. That's pretty normal and during growing season they
actively grow during the cooler months which means in my case that would be
autumn and winter. So if you plan to do any propagations or choppings this is
the best time to do it. Because each cutting will take and they would grow
all of these offsets. Back when I planted them here there was they only had a few
offsets on them. But now you can see there's a very thick growth. They form
bushes already. This is probably a "Blushing Beauty".
A sister seedling to the "Velour" as they have the same parents.
Now all I have to do is
to relocate the pelargoniums and imbricata, and clear out the weeds, and
we're done.
If you're in Australia, these are still for sale. So let me know.
These ones are not seeing enough sunlight cause they've been right at this fence and they've
been overrun bt the weeds. So I need to give them some exposure so they would
look more compact just the way I like it.
Now before I move them wherever it's always a good idea to clean them up while I have
easy access to them.
By removing the dead leaves, that ensures that there's more
airflow underneath and make them less likely to succumb to fungal rot.
All we have left are the weeds... should be easy.
Now that this spot is clear, I can finally mark our work area.
I'm going to use twine to mark out the
area that I'm going to enclose.
I've got some sticks here, which I'll be driving to the ground.
So what I did was to mark out 4.8 meters along the fence... give or take.
I gave a bit of allowance cause that way
I could use joiners in between.
Cause the timber planks come in 2.4 meters
There's no way I could have a single piece of plank along here so I
have to join two. Right Nikki?
Now that I know the length maximum left that I can have I
just need to work out the space and the clearance that I would need to do to
avoid that stump and the rest will follow you see so from the string to the
stump it's got about 700 700 millimetres to this part and I was originally
thinking of using just 500 it's about just with on second thought I think I'll
go with 60 centimetres or 600 millimetres that way I can split a
single plank into four equal parts each part 60 centimeters I don't have a
square rule so I'm going to use this piece of board get an approximate square
or perpendicular 90 90 degrees see how it goes
sixty centimetres is somewhere here
let's do the same on the other end
they don't need it to be perfect I just need an approximation so I'm going with
this for now
I think this is a good representation of what I'm going for
and for now I'm thinking of just going with one layer the father's layer with
three planks and develop my technique and once I get the hang of it I could
work on other sections along the fence either I create a second tier here or
create another planten at the other side is that in mind I would eat four corner
pieces to join our pieces and point eight point eight plus one point two I
would need six meters of sleepers it's getting dark now it's almost 5:00 p.m.
so let's go back inside and do the calculations
okay now we're back to my computer as you can see right now I'm actually
working on the poster the thumbnail for my video and I've been spending i've
spent a few hours so far when this i've been thinking a lot about how i would
like to represent best 3 percent a thumbnail and I figured that for this
video it would be a good idea to include some of my drawings I've been sketching
mainly inside Photoshop just using the vector tools shapes and by no means am i
a good artist I'm if I were I would be using a better tool maybe it was
straight or something I don't know I don't know what your cool kids use but
anyway let's make do with what we have all right I'm on Photoshop and what I
want to do is to create a sketch of what I intend to do the back yard so let's
forget about this render for now although I did I did work on something
earlier this is a sketch pseudo-3d sketch for the planter that I had to do
there are some if you can see here there are some markings showing the dimensions
that I'm going for but let's go on the head and create a new file I'll go with
1920 by 1080 P yes so I can import it directly to the into the video that I'm
working on oh yeah if you haven't noticed I have two
screens now I bought my second screen a few weeks ago because I was having a
hard time working at home because these days I work from home for half of my
work week since my wife is about done in her maternity leave and has started
going back to work but I digress so here we have a blank screen and I'm going to
work on the plot so to speak
let this rectangular shape here represent the backyard maybe I should
just go with green black or just clean gray so we have this so we have this
plot and what I want to know actually I'm going to use the entire screen so
take this black page this blank page is going to represent my backyard so we
have the corner top left corner here that would be the north western corner
that's the edge that's near the tree stump let us draw a shape here let's
just draw a shape here 3% a stunt it should be the tree stump here
and I'm going to build my plot over in this area
let's move both of them now Center just to make things easier to work on so here
this is starting to look like a patreon logo we think anyway what I was thinking
here was to just go with one Pier one novel for now doing it this way means
that this is my breakfast run I'm going to perfect my method with this large
planter first oops sorry yes with this large planter first and
I'm going to make I'm going to use that our stretch the available space based on
my measurements I've got about four point eight meters for the entire length
of the fence and the longer side and I've got about 0.6 actually I was
originally thinking of half a meter for the length or the width considering that
the planks the timber planks come in 2.4 meters I could divide it into four and I
would have 0.6 meter slabs and that would be perfect cuz I would be using
the entire length of the from the sleeper without any wastage and I did
mention that I'm all about efficiency I want to make the most out of the
material so perfect again this is a four point eight length which is exactly
twice the length of the timber sleeper two point four so I'm going to use two
timber slippers here so based on this diagram I would need four four retaining
corners retaining uprights one will be here another here another
here finally here four corners and apart from that since I have 2.4 meters of the
sleeper timber I would need to join two of them this side which which means I
would need to get two of the steel joiners and based on this diagram so far
you would see that I would need one two three four four pieces of the 2.4 timber
sleepers and one two that's one point two that's two pieces of the point six
meter sleepers or a half of a single slab as you recall I'm going for the
eleven hundred centimeter retaining upright that means that I can stack
three levels three layers of the sleepers and right now this is what I
would need so far and if we multiply this by three layers and that means that
I will need twelve pieces of the 2.4 meters labs and
six pieces of just the 0.6 meter slab and as you know six pieces of 0.6 means
1.5 of 2.4 meters so in total I would need about 13.5 the two point four meter
sleeper logs I'm going to round that off to 14 and use the extras for whatever
purpose you need I don't know yet I might need it so after doing the maths I
would need 14 pieces of the sleepers and that would be a total of 170 dollars
four of the corners at 50 point 99 each that means a total of 203 204 to joiners
that's about ninety seven point twenty eight dollars and a grand total of 472
almost half a grand yikes but I've been saving up for it or
at least I've already got most of that saved the rest time I'll have to dig
into my personal savings this tells me I need to sell more plans man our Springs
around the corner and make up for it by then thank you so much for my patreon
