Get an insight into Trevor's garden renovation as he embarks on some major projects. Take a look at his veggie patch, what the chickens are up too and the grand entrance driveway and car park. Make sure you stay tuned for the reveal down the track.

Renovations Trevor is currently working on:

• The latest thing happening is building a wall and steps to an intermediary level entrance platform. The principle here is using slope to develop presence and profile. This allows Trevor to create a formal parking area and a pretty grand entrance area.
• Take a look at Trevor's veggie patch and alongside it, see how he built a rustic chook pen using recycle tree prunings and logs from a tree he removed.
• The 12 chickens consistently deliver 10 eggs a day - chickens are one of the most rewarding animals you can have at home. They convert weeds and scraps into eggs and fertilizer for your plants - reducing landfill.
• The creek and driveway are large scale projects. The creek flows all year round and makes a wonderful cool place in the heat of summer. He has developed 2 levels with a path that winds down to the bottom level. He plans to put grass in to strip any excess nutrients moving from the garden to water and provide a comfortable enjoyable place for the kids to play during summer.
• The granite rocks are going to be the wall and Trevor will plant into it with various plants to make it a natural living wall.
• They are using some old logs to make crossovers over the creek for the kids to cross and get an aerial view over the water for gilge hunting.
• Trevor also plans to build a fire pit where people can sit around and enjoy a creek side picnic or BBQ while watching the fire and listening to the creek bubble away.

Trevor has three large white pekin ducks. Duck eggs are supposedly brilliant in baking but his Pekins have been a little disappointing. They don't bother about nesting, instead they just drop eggs where they stand, or float and the bottom of his pond is covered in large white eggs. Help Trevor find a solution and email your Peking Duck suggestions to info@thegardengurus.tv

Tune in later in the year and Trevor will show you the result of the hard stages finished and hopefully have the solution for his duck egg problem.
