19.01.2022 Ive created my own fundraiser to hopefully fund a small revegetation project on our property. Click on the link for more info https://www.facebook.com/donate/2927153784063694/?fundraiser_source=external_url

18.01.2022 Yessss! This is the post I have been waiting for! Plant shopping tomorrow

17.01.2022 Quick update on the reveg project! The shrubs we could move, have been and Chris will be home tomorrow so we can get the tractor out and get those orange peels in the ground! Some of you might be familiar with the project in Costa Rica, that had tons of orange peels dumped onto barren soil but then the project was abandoned. Long story short is the forest fully regenerated itself, using the nutrient from the peels. (full story here) https://www.sciencealert.com/how-12-000-tonnes-of-dumped-or

15.01.2022 Here are the plants I managed to get on Saturday from CREEC nursery. There are grevillea robusta, Allocasuarina torulosa Polycias elegans, Philotheca queenslandia, Hovea acutifolia, Melaleuca thymifolia, Dianella brevipedunculata, Brachyscomes and probably a couple of others! Heading down to Kumbartcho Nursery today to pick up some more little gems

12.01.2022 The easiest method of planting and harvesting spuds!

11.01.2022 For those who are not aware of our fundraiser, we recently started one to raise money for small revegetation projects around our property. This is the area we will be working on first. The area planted will be 50m x 5m and will include a layered assortment of vegetation includingsmall trees, flowering shrubs such as banksias for the nectar feeders, casuarinas and hakeas for the black cockatoos and native grasses for the understory.

11.01.2022 Pretty sure I have more than enough plants here for my two little projects now! Woohoo! Very, very excited!!

08.01.2022 Just when you think your overloaded with projects, you decide to start another This is the start of another perennial row, also known as alley cropping. It will include blueberries, stone fruit and maybe even some coffee. Including perennial beds provides beneficial insects and wildlife with food sources and habitat. They also act as a windbreak and can include beneficial plants such as pigeon peas, lemon grass and comfrey which provide mulch and nutrients to your garden. First step, add organic matter and dig out those walkways

05.01.2022 Sorry for the delayed update, spring has got me mega mega busy I started planting a couple of weeks ago and is now almost finished. I massively overestimated how many plants I was going to need for the area which is good because I have backups incase some dont survive and it gives me an opportunity to start planting out other parts of the farm. Its not until you research the height, spread, habit and growth rate of each species, that you start to get a better picture of who will play nicely with who. 53 plants have gone in here so far, a couple have not made it but over all it has been a success! Everything is still small so it looks pretty unimpressive right now but once the wet season kicks in, I'm sure we will start to see it all coming together!
