The Great Big Succulents Rescue

The balsa is made of soil, but soil dries up here, and blows away in the wind. Or, it starts raining very very hard, and the soil washes away. So we need to plant the soil with something that can withstand both sun and rain.

Remember this? It's our ex-neighbour's garden, with nìspero and nice flowers. The flowers are a ground covering succulent, called "Carpobrotus" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpobrotus_acinaciformis).

However, the neighbour has left, and those nice succulents are cleared away, and thrown on a pile.

We fetched six wheelbarrows full.

And replanted them on the edge of the balsa.

So next year it will look like this, according to this nice impression.
