25.01.2022 How-to video #1 on how to clean the rust off your garden tools.



23.01.2022 Resources required for cleaning rust

19.01.2022 My poor broccoli was munched by something overnight so I have made some defensive barricades using whatever was in the recycling bin and some bamboo sticks. Fingers crossed this helps the seedlings recover.

19.01.2022 As promised the demonstration on how to remove rust from your tools is here in these videos. These are the before and after shots for some hand tools that were long overdue for some maintenance and repairs.



16.01.2022 I have been saving these buckets from as many places as I can get to within 5km and finally managed to collect 30 odd buckets for @moonrabbitmelbourne sorry it’s taken so long to get them to you. Much harder to find them with the state of things right now. #reusereducerecycle #compostcaddy #plasticbucket #newhome #reuse #reuseable #savedfromlandfill #zerowaste #compost #composting #foodwaste #foodwastewarriors #kitchenscraps

16.01.2022 Rusty tools? Did you leave something outside and it rained and now you have rust on your secateurs, hand tools, shovel or spade? Want to know how to fix? Tune in tomorrow night at 8pm to see the results! #corrosion #rust #oops #fixed #repairdontreplace #goodasnew #solutions #howto #problemsolving #backyard #homegardens #homegardening #anyonecandoit #simplesolutions #simplesolution #demonstration #demonstrations #isolationcreation #lockdownlife #keepingbusy

15.01.2022 step one add the citric acid to bucket of water



13.01.2022 In search of some more plastic buckets with lids, the places I usually grab them from just don’t have that many to spare. Happy to collect them. Ideal size is 10, 15 and 20L. Happy to take them dirty. Buckets don’t need to be food containers, plaster, paint, render, tile glue, grout and similar are all good. With more people spending time at home in isolation there is an increased need for compost caddies.

13.01.2022 Is it spring already? Seems that my hyacinths think it’s time to bloom. Is anyone else seeing strange things like this?

12.01.2022 #possum proofing some #lettuce #seedlings using hard rubbish finds and #styrofoam boxes as pots. While we are all stuck in lockdown I am trying to make the best of it by spending more time in the garden. Starting to run out of space and materials which forces you to think creatively about how to use what you have already and make do. #isolationcreation #lockdown2020 #lockdown #lettuce #seedlings #growyourownfood #growyourownveggies #homegrownveggies #reusereducerecycle #hardrubbishfind #protection #containergardening #upcycle #upcycled #enjoythesunshine

12.01.2022 Picked up some off cuts from a new fence from a neighbour, might have to get creative and make a new insect hotel to match my bee hotel. Well that should keep me occupied for a bit. Does anyone else have ideas for other projects? #isolationcreation #reusereducerecycle #repurposed #makestuff #wildlife #habitat #wastetoresource #getcreative #lookingforinspiration #diyideas #savedfromlandfill #woodworking #trynewthings #weekendwarrior #diyprojects #diy #madewithlove #homemade #keepingbusy #keepingbusyduringisolation

09.01.2022 Propagation stations! What do you need to get you started with propagating plants from cuttings? I will be posting a video soon with a short demonstration showing how I take cuttings for propagation, when do you need rooting hormone and why it’s important to use the right tools! #propagation #cuttings #perlite #wormcastings #seedraising #diyprojects #isolationcreation #toolsofthetrade #howto #gettingstarted #createmoreconsumeless #plantpropagation #plantpropagating #cuttingpowder #roothormone #nativeplants #australiannatives

07.01.2022 Hard rubbish finds! These aluminium Venetian blinds plus some scissors will be turned into plant labels! I’m prepping some cuttings for spring planting. I cut mine about 15cm long and use a wax crayon or pencil to write the name a date of planting. Sharpie texta tends to fade in sunshine. #hardrubbish #hardrubbishfind #hardrubbishmelbourne #venetianblinds #venetianblind #reuse #rescuedfromlandfill #foundonthestreet #gardenhacks #gardenhack #gardentipsandtricks #gardentips #gardentipsforbeginners #zerowastetips #zerowastehome #zerowastevictoria #reusereducerecycle #aluminiumrecycling #secrettosuccess #secrettosuccess #plantlabels #plantidentification #plantid #helpfultips

07.01.2022 Free #cherry #tomato #seedlings to anyone within 5km of #Northcote! Have too many and need to share the love. Just repotted them and have about 100+ #cherrytomatoes #seedlings #community #freebies #northcote #highstnorthcote #tomatoes #tomatoes #tomato #payitforward #sharethelove

05.01.2022 After such a lovely weekend for being outside in the garden, and today being quite cold and windy, it’s always lovely to step into a warm sheltered greenhouse to check on the cuttings from some recent propagation. Very glad that I installed a watering system years ago it saves so much time and worry. If you need help getting started on your own greenhouse chat to @sproutwellgreenhouses and @smartwatershop for your irrigation needs. #greenhouse #green...houses #cuttings #propagationstation #propagation #australiannativeplants #australiannativeplant #seedraising #irrigationsystem #irrigation #irrigationsystems #idealenvironment #secrettosuccess #plantprotection #gardenhacks #tipsandtricks #perlite #wormcastings #staysafe #isolationcreation #isolationcreations #coronaproject #coronaprojects #stayathome #homegarden #homegardens #backyard #backyardgarden See more

05.01.2022 Finally able to fill the IBC at the apple tree garden Northcote! This is a momentous occasion and possibly the highlight of the first day of 6 weeks of isolation!

05.01.2022 Native violets (Viola hederacea) only grow to about 10-15cm tall, very hardy for shade and sun, can tolerate dry areas. Anyone want some cuttings they are very low maintenance and easy to care for. Have plenty to give away. #violahederacea #nativeplants #nativeplant #nativeplantproject #nativeviolet #easygrow #easygrowing #backyard #gardening #garden #homegardens #homegardening #homegarden #freetogoodhome #giveaway #sharethelove #wintergarden #isolationcreation #hanginthereeveryone #staysafestayhome #victorialockdown #slowlygoingcrazy #isolation #workfromhome #workfromhomelife #thestruggleisreal #masksonplease #stayhome

02.01.2022 Mushrooms! If you find mushrooms in your compost or garden don’t fret they are helping to build your soil. Fabulous fungi are popping up everywhere after the rain we have had recently and the colours and shapes and sizes just go to show the diversity in nature. #mushrooms #mushroomsofinstagram #fungi #fungiphotography #fungilove #fungifanatic #fungiofinstagram #fungifreaks #fungilover #decomposer #decomposers #decomposition #decomposing #mycology #mycologist #backyard #backyardgarden #backyardgardening #homegrown #compostbin #compost #composting #woodrot #humus #organicmatter #breakdown #naturalrecycling #natureinbalance
