Making the most of the DUNG!
Great stuff for the compost heap - it's only getting thrown out if no-one claims it and we're up to our eyes in it now!
So go get some free manure and tell your friends!
Let's hope they return next year when our Community Garden is up and running (hopefully)!
Gathering Sunday 25th October 11am-1pm
WHAT - All locals are invited to find out more about the Bribie Eco-Community Garden at a special gathering on Sunday 25th October at the proposed site. Cr Gary Parsons will be attending and Craig Allison from All Round Tree Service will be the special guest speaker on the day. Craig has a wealth of knowledge on all things horticultural. He will be able to help you with advice on various mulching techniques and soil composition for growing a variety of trees and plants in your backyard. If you have a tree or plant in your garden and you’re not sure what variety it is, bring a leaf or two along and Craig can identify it for you. Do you have a problem with one of your trees or plants? Craig will also be talking about pest and disease solutions so bring a sample of the problem and Craig will help.
