Depending on what you are looking for, it might be worth giving them a call to see if they have any other sizes - or even if they still carry them...

By the way, I wanted to contact you regarding Oxley Common... I have been in touch with Marion Forrest and she mentioned your name for advice on how to further push the subject "community farm" to get it going!!! Any ideas why this project is so hard to get started ? I know it is a massive site and a farm of this scale would be a first in Brisbane City. Quite unthinkable for some people, but just imagine.... love to get to know your thoughts. Thomas

At 10:16pm on July 21, 2009, James said…: Scarlett - my blog is a just a personal website of what I get up to on my own block of land - permaculture, chickens etc.

I don't mind my blog getting a bit of air time but I don't want to be put forward as representing Samford Local Growers so that needs to be corrected.

regards

James

At 9:04am on July 13, 2009, Florence said…: Haven't progressed as much as I wanted to with the garden renovation as I can only work on the weekends, and there's always heps of other stuff to do on weekends. Hopefully I will make it for spring planting. Guess it's almost time for another blog ~

At 11:31am on June 30, 2009, Heather Fijol said…: Hi Scarlett,
Wow! I'm through the mid semesters and on a 2 wk break, hoping to get the garden up and running a bit more in the interim, It would be lovely to catch up and give the girls a play, would you like to come over for a coffee and walk in the park? not sure how much time you have over school hols but I will have Lilli Mon - Wed next week, hope you can make it, cheers Heather

At 10:55am on June 23, 2009, Donna said…: Sounds like a plan. I should get to this one today, if not tomorrow for sure!

At 8:08pm on June 21, 2009, Donna said…: Haven't done that one yet because I am thinking of splitting it into seasons, it was originally started in late May but has a lot of other information as well - what do you think about having two or four 'What to plant in Autumn/ Winter etc'...

Or just move it as it is and then maybe I should start a new one just before spring to get everyone involved...

At 12:48pm on June 19, 2009, Cassandra said…: Hi scarlett,
I took your advice and not putting up with the sand any longer. the sand is about 30cm deep then there is a plactic tarp or somthing underneath. water still seems to drain. option 1 is to dig everything up and and mix all the soil together with the new clay soil and start again. or Option 2 just put new soil on top- raised garden bed and lots of mulch to break down the clay. what do you think?

At 6:02pm on June 6, 2009, Donna said…: Hi Scarlett, would you have a problem with me adding a key word - say 'info' as a tag on any photo or blog that a discussion gets started on between members - you can do a search on the tags and a lot of information here at BLF comes from posting our photos/ blogs.

At 4:15pm on June 3, 2009, Trinette said…: thanks for your comments Scarlett, No its definately not my hat. Dunno when you would have seen me wearing one ever. Good luck with that. I can't remember how I posted the photos, they are fairly old now. Ill get snap happy and get some more on soon. My garden looks quite different now, and so does the one at work (lettuce bed one). Talk to you soon, Netty :-)

At 2:10pm on May 30, 2009, Donna said…: Hi Scarlett, I would be happy to be a site administrator. It has taken my ages to go through all the forums and all the blogs to see what I missed out on - really should have been in the garden myself.... ;)

At 10:51am on May 23, 2009, Vanessa said…: Hi Scarlett, Did the photos I added a few days ago come through?? I'm not sure if they worked or not - the website sat there forever uploading them then took me to a random link.

At 12:02am on May 15, 2009, Heather Fijol said…: Hi Scarlett, just a quick hello to let you know I still think about our Sunday am visit to your neck of the Holland Park woods! I can now list Trinette as a cyber friend as a result. It was a lovely morning and it certainly spurred my enthusiasm, my garden has taken a few minor leaps since and I thought I should report back, the new pecan tree is about to go in along with blueberry no.2, guava no.2, a new chilli bush, walking stick palm, turmeric and a bay tree in a pot! Jiri has even started the ol' seeds on cotton wool on the kitchen window sill. Hopefully success will prevail! Feel free to snoop over the back fence, It would be even better if you knocked on the back door for a caffeine stop! Cheers Heather

I will pass on the weblink job to Emma or Alison. I have been elevated to Food Connect gardener and have no management responsibilities anymore.
Almost out of a job, yippee.
