Hello,

I have recently moved to Canberra and have a very small townhouse garden. I use a bokashi bin but have no more space to dig it into the garden. Can anyone use the bokashi contents? I can deliver northside.

Wanted – potato onions

March 12, 2012

I am after some potato onions to grow. I used to grow them when I was younger but have been unable to find any lately. I have had bad experiences with one of the companies that offers them so would rather buy them from a backyard grower.

I am happy to pay for postage, I can pay for the onions or offer a swap if I have anything that you would like.

Wanted – organic gardener

February 20, 2012

Hello,

I live in Narrabundah and have a garden where I am trying to organically grow plants. However, my knowledge and time is limited. I would like a knowledgeable organic gardener to come to my property once a month to simply manage the fruit trees and roses. I can manage the rest of the garden. The fruit trees require pest control and pruning etc. I can buy all the required material and pay the gardener an appropriate hourly rate. The day/time they come could be flexible. I am not sure how many hours would be involved. My phone number is 62608503. Please contact me for more details.

Thanks,
Jane

Help! Stone Fruit Tragedy

February 20, 2012

Hello,

I have a pleach – a cross between a blood plum and a white peach. Stunning fruit! I’ve got an issue with fruit fly (that a trap largely failed to control) and also tiny 2-3mm dark brown segmented beetles. I have not been able to identify these anywhere and and other stone fruit is at risk. Any clues?

Thanks,
Anthea
