20.01.2022 When washing away ash and soot blown in from the fires remember- what happens in the street affects the creek! Cooma's creeks are running black today as a resu...lt of people cleaning their cars, shops and homes after large amounts of cold ash rained on Cooma and surrounds last Saturday. In a normal year we would expect the creek to flush itself but this isnt happening due to the drought which means there are no inflows coming from further up in the catchment to dilute the black stormwater. What can we do? Wash your car on the lawn and use water sparingly when washing homes and structures, sweep away ash rather than hosing it. We have been able to successfully clean our home using a mop and bucket to get most of the worst muck off first. Saving water is also important for regional fire fighting efforts. See more

At the CCG we are leaving some beds to go fallow this year, in order to preserve our water supplies. https://www.growveg.com.au//4-clever-ways-to-save-water-i/

03.01.2022 Wicking Beds do work. Haven't been watered in weeks. Building another Wicking Bed on the 9th of Nov at the CCG if everything goes to plan. 2400 mm by 1500 mm in size. It'll be a cracker. Share the Love

02.01.2022 Potato Harvest The tops of potato plants must have yellowed and died down before harvestingespecially if you plan to store potatoes for winter. Only fully matu...re potatoes can be stored. Others should be used right away. Keep potatoes for one week at room temperature to speed the healing of bruises. Store potatoes for winter in a cool, humid place.
