I have a family member that lives on a corner block with a lot of brick paving (all the back) and large brick driveway out the front. They live alone and it's a big job to manage the grassy, flat leaved and other weeds that come up and they are thinking about getting either a weed burning tool, or a steaming tool.
My preference is for the latter for a few reasons, mainly as there is a infinite resource of fuel (water & electricity) and the steam would have not discolour the paving with smoke etc.
Any ideas, knowledge or alternatives?
Hey all,
I recently bought 2 curry leaf plants and I'm hoping to make them nice and bushy!
When is the best time to start pruning your curry leaf plant to encourage bushy growth? I've not been able to find a solid answer. Is there a height / age minimum, or signs to look out for when it's time to start trimming? Or just start pruning away early?
Pic is one of them :)
Nasturtiums & Bees - best of friends and perfect companions to a healthy veggie garden. Always love seeing these guys help out every year.
I was just super proud I managed to capture this while busy gardening!
Vine is only a couple weeks old and has this white appearance to the leaves. The leaves had the whiteness pretty much as soon as it grew in and became more intense as they got bigger. You can see the two leaves at the top which are the oldest and another leaf to the left which is getting whiter, and some younger leaves with no white on them at all.
I have another vine on the opposite side of the garden that I grew from a seed from the same pumpkin, and that vine has normal leaves.
I did try googling first but I thought I should reach out for advise since I usually bugger these things up when I try to solve them on my own.
Is it game over? Happened suddenly
What is this? And how do I grow it?
My husband helped me build this little fish pond today after talking about wanting one for the longest time! Very happy with how it has turned out. Added different layers of rocks & hides, some aquatic plants and a block to rapidly start good bacteria. Looking forward to adding some fish soon 🥰 bonus is we have another half of wine barrel now, so perhaps I can add another elsewhere!
Hey. Does anyone reconise these eggs? They're the size of a tic-tac. NSW. TIA.
I have five mature ‘Dwarf Date Palms’ that need to make way for new landscaping and was wondering if there are companies Australia (QLD) that purchase and remove mature trees from properties to on sell to customers? It seems a waste to just cut them down.
