An area of 5 x 5 m was laid out and steel waretas used for a fence,
with wire netting
to keep out stock and possums. Wind cloth was
fastened to this to reduce wind damage. The
garden was planted with
carefully selected
seed tubers in a quincunx pattern.
So far we have planted and harvested kumara for two seasons,
and the experiment will continue for some years yet.
