  1. How to make a potted #FoodForest for small spaces | DIY Garden Projects | #GardeningAustralia

    Oct 18, 2022

    "Hannah creates potted productive plant combinations, to show how you can have a food forest in a small space.

    "A food forest aims to have all plants on a site working together. The classic model has seven layers: #CanopyLayer (large fruit trees), #understorey (smaller nut and fruit trees), #shrubs (berries and large perennials), #herbaceous (herbs and plants), #rhizosphere (root crops), #groundcover (clover and strawberries) and #vines (climbing beans, peas etc.).

    If you have a small garden or live in an apartment, this can seem a bit overwhelming! But it is possible to follow the same basic principles using pots."

    Featured Plants:
    Rosemary - Salvia rosmarinus cv.
    Garlic Chives - Allium tuberosum
    Creeping Thyme - Thymus cv.
    Dwarf Avocado - Persea americana cv.
    Calendula - Calendula officinalis
    Strawberry - Fragaria x ananassa cv.
    Tea Plant - Camellia sinensis
    Native Ginger - Alpinia caerulea

  3. 🌱 Before laying that new patio or driveway, consider this: Should you install a weed membrane before or after the hardcore?

    Here's the scoop: • Install the membrane before the hardcore for effective weed prevention.

    • It allows proper drainage, keeping your surface durable.

    • Prevents soil disturbance that can lead to unwanted weeds.

  7. Making some weed tea with #comfrey leaves. One of 6 buckets of natural #fertilizer tea.
    Some will be used as topical plant spray & rest used as soil drench at plant bases. I put the spent leaves at bases as part of mulch after.
