Hope everyone can join us for an early Christmas visit and seed swap at the Roma Street Parklands. More details will be sent after the November meet.
the mushroom compost place i was looking at - you need to go and pick it up for it to be cheap. if anyone wants to go halves in a trailer load I'd be keen to pick it up.

Hoticulture and agriculture, history, ideas and info
Ok this blog will hopefully deliver info and tips on the wide range of possibilities and resources for gardening, agricultural endeavours and growing together.
I’m going to start with a bit of historical background and will try not to get to bogged down in detail, please forgive any grammatical or spelling errors as I have a history based in dealing with dyslexia, but I also have an almost photographic memory for things I am passionate about.

- Hi Anthony. Long time no hear or see. How are ya, you bizzy man, you.?
Got a question for ya about the EM buggys. How long can they survive in the plastic bottles? Its been nearly two months since i brought the bottle that ive got.......I went to open it the other day and it smells like beer now and got head like the beer too lol. Anyhow, i made up a barrel of liquid manue (cow poop, EM, flovic and a hand full of some fertilizer pellets and some comfry) Chucked in the last 1/4 the EM, so about 500ml.......and hopeing like mad, that the fish pump air blower thingy, gives the EM bugs some life again? Been bubbleing for about 5 days now...........
Anyhow, the question was (heehee) How long can you leave the EM in bottle for without it going too bad bugs or no bugs living at all? or should it be giving air to survive.......maybe i should keep the next lot i get in barrel with bubbler (air pump thingy)

- That's probably it - it is expensive but Ash makes his own and at the moment we throw it in the bin when he does, so thought when we had it (already used) then we could compost it...

- Hi A, Quick question, can you use (compost maybe?) the carbon pellets used to filter alcohol?

- Hi A, when you get a chance can you give me a price on both Fish emulsion and seeweed fertiliser.
I will probably buy a bulk pack of each and make them available at cost to members (as well as use myself of course). Also when you deliver I could probably do with more bugs.

- All good anthony about my plans......I would love to do a few containers but hubby brough up good point.....our little girl, age 18 months would just play in them all the time, she has already got into most of my pot plants and broke but one of my garden ordaments. (My two older boys, never touched at her age...they soon learnt if i touch, i get in trouble...but our little girl..., has no ears and got attitude to boot)
Also wana keep cost down, as much as posible, as i was thinking of puting chicken wire around the containers but more expence to add....i still got to wire off back garden, from cats and my little one heehee....I got a few stakes from recycle market dump just need to get wire next pay. lol.
Chers for all the ideas and love all the info im getting from everyone.
Thanks muchly.
