25.01.2022 True marketing right there!

24.01.2022 It's a doggie dog world out there! Back on the grind tomorrow

22.01.2022 Food Miles...does it really matter? Do you care how far your food has traveled to get to your plate? Here are some things you might like to consider....... - ask where the fish is caught when getting your favorite Fish & Chips. You might be eating it by the seaside but it has possibly come from third-world farms half-way across the world and not from Australia's clean oceans. - fruit out of season means either (a) it has been picked long ago and kept in cold storage or (b) come from the opposite side of the world. Either way, it is not truly fresh and often has been picked in pre-ripe condition Your taste buds will recognize the difference from artificial ripening. - preservatives are added to extend the travel life of food. How much of those chemicals do you want to consume? - food picked before being ripe misses out on the final ripening and sweetening stages. It is also a time when key nutrients and minerals are accelerated into the fruit. - we can grow, produce and manufacture food here in WA just as good as anywhere else. Is reconstituted powered milk trucked from thousands of miles better because it is a few cents cheaper? Distance, storage and middle-men often translate to food which is higher cost, less fresh, less healthy and has caused more pollution. Of course, this is not always the case and all things should be considered in balance. However, they might explain why what you eat can often be disappointing. Buy in-season, buy local and support farmers markets, or better yet - grow your own!

21.01.2022 CROP ROTATION is the process of planting different crops on the same patch of ground during different seasons. This is quite easy to do in your vegetable patch because as your summer vegetables are now harvested, you will have a blank space for winter vegetables. Rotating crops improves soil health by not over stressing soil bacteria or depleting a particular mineral. It also helps in pest control and weed management. It is easy to prepare your garden bed between crop rotations so add a 50mm layer of manure and till it into the soil. This will break up any areas that might be compact and provide much-needed nitrogen. Avoid planting into fresh manure, particularly poultry manure, for at least 2 weeks after tilling.

13.01.2022 I think we all agree on this

12.01.2022 Winter is here and many trees and plants are entering dormancy. Time for transplanting, repotting and pruning before Spring's bloom. Got any tips or tricks, or have you got a question? Post it here.

11.01.2022 Surprising discovery on the weekend... Guava fruit is know for its strong, sweet aroma when it ripens. But if you even have the chance to get a whiff of its blossom, you will be amazed at its bouquet resembling expensive perfume.

10.01.2022 Its time for growing WINTER VEGETABLES. As the weather gets colder and wetter (particularity here on the west coast), green leafy vegetables can become a bountiful harvest and quite easy to grow if you follow a few simple rules. First, and most important, prepare your soil. Make sure it is not going to get water logged after a deluge. Take out any mature weeds and then turn the soil over. Mix in some fresh manure and organic matter and then leave it for about 2 weeks settle down. Plant good quality seedlings and give them a little top up of fertiliser every 2 weeks. A light layer of pea-straw mulch around the seedlings is also a good trick. Your normal insect pests are less common in winter, so if you take advantage of the sunny days during winter, you will be harvesting in just a couple of months.

08.01.2022 Its not just us affected by the heat wave in Perth our gardens are too! Applying mulch to your garden can greatly reduce evaporation loss, improve the soil, reduce plant stress and weed growth, as well as improve the appearance of your garden.

07.01.2022 If you ask the Nectarine trees, Spring started this first week of August. I sense a lot of fruit thinning to come.

07.01.2022 Marri Grove Primary School Garden and Landscape has been dedicated to a long-serving teacher, Lorraine Buirchell.

06.01.2022 Thank you to all our supporters this year! We trust you will enjoy your celebrations tonight and take it easy on the roads! Lets Roll on 2014!!

05.01.2022 2015 has been declared the INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF SOILS by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. One of its key goals is to educate the world into appreciating that fertile soil is a precious resource. Amongst other things, it is the foundation by which food is grown to sustain all our lives. Healthy soil => healthy plants => health food => healthy lives

05.01.2022 We want to take a moment and send out our thoughts to the 100+ people who have lost their homes to the Perth Hills blaze this past weekend. http://www.perthnow.com.au//h/story-fnhocxo3-1226800056158

01.01.2022 Things are busy around here! Check out our latest addition to the fleet

01.01.2022 Its that time again, so here is the post from last October... This weeks tip from the orchard is FRUIT THINNING: If you have been successful in getting your trees to produce fruit - well done! But there is such a thing as TOO MUCH. While it is great to see your trees with hundreds of little fruit growing, you will have better results if you thin them out. Fruit thinning is often necessary for nectarines, peaches, plums, apricots, apples and pears. It will reduce stress on the... branches, push more energy into the select fruit, allow even ripening, increase airflow, reduce disease risk and give more room for them to grow. It might feel disappointing dropping more than half of the crop, but the results will be sweeter and larger fruit just like commercial growers. Thin stone fruit to make a few inches of space and reduce apples/pears to two fruit at every cluster. See more
