Well this is a place to give each other gardening tips. Or plant your own virtual garden. Put what ever plants you wont in here, keeping it legal please. Lets get a nice one to wonder through.

Well not much depends on the size of your property some people don't have much room so they graft a lemon and an orange tree together and they get two different fruits. You could have several different oranges grafted to one or two trees. Then you get all of them all with in a small area.

Hey Kanga

Do you reckon I should start fertilising my garden yet?

and spray the weeds in grass?

If using slow release now is all right better in a month or two. Slow release is always better for everything Lasts longer for the plants which is better. That's why I use mulch Fine mixed with medium the fine breaks down more quickly so the plants get a feed over the next 3 -9 months. Then the courser one breaks down 6 -18 months. There is nature doing slow release and quick release, and your working hard drinking coffee or tea. Oh the strain of it all.

Hi All,

This is an excellent thread. I was told on the weekend that fire ash is good for roses, has anyone heard that?

I'm guessing that letting the hot coals cool first might be a good idea. (tongue in cheek)

Ash in any soil helps the water enter the ground better, and helps hydrate the soil. Wood ashes will raise the pH and lower the acid in soil. Because of this, you should also be careful not to use wood ashes as fertilizer on acid loving plants like azaleas, gardenias and blueberries. Also please don't burn treated pine the chemicals may still be active when you put them in the soil if its your vegie garden arsenic poison will be present can lead to death. please be Careful if using ash in your garden or anywhere. I used heaps in one of my pet jobs the garden when I got there looked like a jungle. When I left it resembled the botanical gardens. Heaps of work went in my street had me working on theirs before I left Caching$$$$$$$$$$$ it was a full time job in the end Looking after Kids working on one house or another. I cheated a little. I mapped it out for them worked out what to put in and when. they did most of the manual labor.
