Last week we had our inspection. I am really happy with the house! We have a few shrinkage cornice cracks, loose door handles and a wayward kitched cupbaord…

That makes sense about the stake!! I didn't realise that they created a weak tree.
I haven't ever bought man made products for my plants before so I don't think I…

So green mulch seasol and molasses in the soil is correct... or is that considered fertiliser?
It has a large metal stake so it doesn't end up looking like a…

I'm a bit freaked out. I have some baby lilly pilly bush christmas (20cms x 20cms) 1m apart. They look too small to attack with clippers. I have watched the…

The roots were completely uncoiled and free growing. The soil it came out of was quite poor quality and looking back i think the little buds were there from the…

The tree was about 2m tall when we bought it 4 weeks ago in a 30L pot. Suprisingly the root system was only the size of a 10L pot. Our…

It has just has a huge stress. We took it out of it's cute pot and plonked it in the front hot windy spot out the front of the house.…

Thanks Judie
Haha! What a cute lawn mower. Not quite right for the 200m2 Cyranos and I have unless I want a day to myself! Then i can send him outside…

So...as of today my manchurian pear is in full bloom (They are very pretty flowers). Does anyone know why it would create flowers now? I thought they only flowered in…

Thanks Gurlistar!!! It is hard work but totally worth it!
Jim,
We have 2 6 meter pipes under our driveway. One for stormwater/soakwells and the other for retic. We organised with…

We have a lot of retic work to do but we probably need to have enough for 5m2 plus so I will take you up on your kind offer when…

I'm thinking I migth go…

How sad, I love big trees.

Thanks Fu.
We won't have a "veggie patch" as such, we will just be throwing the fruit and veg into our garden beds in the backyard as if they were a…

What do you think about our manchurian pear leaf and tag? Is it bad news all round?
edit: I just looked up the pecan tree.. somewhere between 20 meters and 60…

That cute little front garden bed was supposed to be a lot bigger but the instructions were lost in translation somewhere along the line.
I haven't seen a pecan tree anywhere!…

Thanks Fu!
Once again you are awesome!

Would the green tree mulch still be good if we were planting citrus trees, apple trees, blue berries etc and other veggies in the garden beds or should I stick…

Geraldton wax is quite safe for me. I used to have those in geraldton.. funnily enough.
