Seeking Polytunnel advice

March 12, 2012

I am a keen vegetable gardener who lives in Yass. Would you know of anyone in the ACT or surrounding area who grows vegies in a Polytunnel as I am interested in building one so I can still have produce during winter months.

Look forward to hearing from you.

kind regards ,David

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.

Currants, red and white or black?

July 2, 2011

Hi All,
I’m thinking of planting some currants this year and wondered, with the choice available, does anyone have a preference for red, white or black and why? I’ll probably only have room for one so I’m curious to know what people think.
Thanks,
Ray

Hi Everyone,

We have recently purchased a greenhouse and would like to know if anyone
can point us to a good Australian reference book/website for greenhouse
growing. Most titles we have found are based in England.

Thanks heaps in advance,

Seeking Figs

April 27, 2011

What a lovely Autumn afternoon this is! I’m taking a break from the gardening to post a question about figs…does anyone have any they are prepared to share? I am looking for some to turn into jam for my Nan who remembers it fondly from her childhood. She’s 80 this year and worth spoiling, but I don’t have a tree to grab them from. I will happily pass back a bottle of the jam to whoever supplies the fruit!

I also have a worm farm (with no worms in it) that is in good condition and needs a new home. We sadly cannot make worm farms work in spite of all of our best efforts, and will stick to the compost and bokashi methods to create the good stuff. I’m happy to give it to a new home, but if you have something to trade (like some figs!) even better.

Cheers,
Ray

Seeking Garden Mentor

April 11, 2011

Hello,

I am looking for a gardening mentor who can teach me so many things I don’t know about gardening (and maybe chooks as well): I have a lot of questions about what to plant when, soils, aspect to sun, pest and disease management, how to propagate cuttings with some degree of success, and much more. The more patient the better as I am at times slow to learn. The closer to Bruce, the better as well.

I am young, eager to learn and become a master gardener, and efficient once I learn something, and a hard worker.

Available immediately!
