Hello,

I read that this is probably the only organic surfactant for home-made plant sprays and wonder if anyone knows whether it is available for purchase in Canberra or, for that matter, Australia by mail order.

Thanks,
Anne

Hello,

We have a trailer load full of clean fill soil – mainly clay – if anyone wants some fill. No poisons or spray, left over from widening the driveway. Shame to pay to dump it if anyone can use it. We will deliver.

Regards,
Robyn

Hello,

Our garden is overrun with ivy. After pulling it out, is it OK to use it as mulch? I have heard that this is not advisable as the ivy will re-root in the mulched areas. Can anyone help me with this, please? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have access to a plentiful supply of Hessian Coffee sacks which I use to cover my compost bin. Lately I’ve been experimenting in composting the sacks themselves. I’ve been trying to find out what the approximate Carbon to Nitrogen ratio of Hessian is.

Best wishes,

Mike

Hello,

We have noticed the new leaves on our citrus trees (orange, lemon, mandarin) are curled up and not looking too good, so we have pruned some of them back. Can anyone offer some advice as to what nutrients may be needed?

Thank you,

Lucienne

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can get a chemical analysis of my soil performed in the Canberra region?

I am a gardener in Wamboin. Some of my veggies grow well (the Nightshade group); and others don’t (my brussels appear to have stalled).

Many thanks,

Vincent

Hi.

I keep ducks in my backyard and we have a flock hatch out every year. I have no trouble finding homes for the ducks but this year have struggled to find someone who is interested in a drake. I’m happy for him to be given away if someone would like him. He is 3 months old.

Thanks,

Melissa

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if pistacchios grow in the Canberra region (I live in Murrumbateman) and if so what type of environment they like ie soil, sunny/shade etc. I have read that they like cold winters and hot summers (which I thought sounded like us!) but hadn’t heard of anyone growing them. Also where is the best place to get them?

Many thanks in advance for your help!
