Hi folks! Long time no visit for me! (I started this site up many moons ago).
I'm still living in country Victoria - hence the absence.
I've dropped by because I've written a book which I thought might interest the people on here.
It's a junior/ young adult fiction near future science fiction adventure story.
It's set in a world with 3 degrees of warming, where fossil fuels are no longer available, and 7 corporations have basically taken…

It's easy enough to buy expensive things and follow the directions and get beautiful (although often not very tasty or resilient) plants. Growing amazingly healthy plants using natural processes and products to be found in your own backyard (or front yard as the case may be) is much harder - but it is possible. It's a question of harnessing and powerboosting natural processes. Brilliant soil, teaming with microbes and organic material, is the real holy grail I think.
My garden's…

It's official. I can't live happily without a vegie garden. So I'm putting one in. Here is the 'before' shot of the extremely annoying patch of grass in the front yard which kept growing across the gravel and creating a lot of work.
I'm…

Equipment:
(note you don't have to have the Easiyo containers, see recipe below).
NB in Brisbane I recommend Barambah Organic Full Cream Milk, or Food Connect Herd Share milk. Because I'm in Victoria now I'm buying beautiful grass fed milk produced locally in the Western District where we live. You will also need a kettle. One this size (about 1.7…

Thankyou Scarlett Cheers Christine
I must admit my first reaction was...what the! isn't that my pic? why has that person used my pic?? But then I realised what was going on lol. Happy for them to be "famous" :D
I had a similar, now funny, experience lately. One of the online garden sites is looking for pics for a calendar and I clean forgot I had sent some in. I followed their link to their FB page and there were my pics! I actually posted a comment saying "why are my pics here?" before remembering and deleting almost immediately. Unfortunately, they still ended up with the comment and sent me a testy little email asking if I wanted them removed lol.
Thanks Scarlett. The site was recommended by someone I met on another forum. I went to her place to pick up some raspberry runners and I got a free tour of the garden, some extra things and the web address for this site. Her name is Lissa, but I'm not sure of her online name.
Cheers for that Scarlett. Great site.
thanks for your welcome Scarlett. I am looking forward to learning and sharing here.
That would be an excellent idea Scarlett. There would be a lot of people interested in having one I'm thinking.
If you just get a heap made with Brisbane Local Food and don't worry about personal names then anyone could use them.
I'm thinking not everyone will have the ability to print let alone in colour (logo).
Not everyone owns any ribbon - I know I don't - not worth a trip to the shop just for a bit of ribbon in the right colour.
Most folk own a name tag I'm thinking - I'll ask them to wear one.
And ask them to all post a recent pic of themselves so we can recognise each other visually.
Do you want to think about getting some "official" name tags made available for a small price? Won't be in time for this event but could be useful in the future. Your site is pretty popular and famous now :)
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.
