"Sid, I don't know how you can say 3 Figs are too many. I have 6 on a tiny block and it's not enough as there are so many lovely varieties with different tastes and different fruiting seasons."
"I am at North Lakes about 1km from Bunnings. They hire outside contractors to do there deliveries so don't think it matters how far you are. But check with your local store. "
"That sounds like good value. I will run out of potting mix soon. Where are you based Michael and how far did they have to come to deliver?"
"It cost me $40 to have 9 bags of Potting Mix, Compost and other smalls delivered right to my door."
"Good to hear from you Michael. I think most of us are staying around home now "
"Missing my visits to Bunnings, I isolated 2 weeks ago, their delivery service works well, got a large supply of potting mix to keep me busy."

Here at North Lakes I am still hoping for some decent rain, my water tank has been empty for months. The Sunshine Coast gets it in buckets full and from Brisbane south gets lots, but North Lakes seems to be in a dry corridor, when it rains we are lucky if we get 10mm.

Hi Michael, I would like to grow a number of fig varieties in a small space, just wondering if you have a special system. I guess the secret is to have a small tree that produces a lot of fruit. Would a hedge or semi espalier system work?
