Dee Humphreys
Dee Humphreys is a local home gardener who has spent the past four years exploring practical uses for a range of herbs and weeds that grow easily on the Sunshine Coast. Dee’s enthusiasm for eating what we grow (edible gardens) and focusing on your health is infectious.
Come along to this workshop and you will walk away with a better understanding of how and why to use herbs in your daily life. BEWARE, you may even come to respect weeds and celebrate them popping up in your garden unannounced.

Dee is running another workshop at Noosaville on 28th. See Events for details.
It's a great site once you get used to it Paul. Took me a while, and some suggestions from others, before I could find my way around confidently. I still get surprised at something I've missed before.
Don't feel bad about no weeds lol. I don't have weeds either. Years of combating great swathes of cobbers pegs and wandering jew etc on acreage means I have zero tolerance on this small property.
I am gaining a new respect for the really useful ones though - like cobblers pegs which are good for quite a few things like deterring nemotodes (just don't let them seed all over the place!).
Always add photos using the "From my computer" option, even if you are on a mobile phone or other device.

Vetiver grass helps to stabilise soil and protects it against erosion. It can protect against pests and weeds. Vetiver is also used as animal feed. (Wiki.)
GrowVetiver is a plant nursery run by Dave & Keir Riley that harvests and grows Vetiver grass for local community applications and use. It is based in Beachmere, just north of Brisbane, Australia.
