Road Gardening News & Tips

July 23, 2011  /  Andrew Jacobs

  • Jeff is going to garden on Saturdays and now he has the combination lock number can easily get gear from the shed - same for anyone who has the combination to the lock.
  • Keep an eye on the map of compost bin locations and whether they're full on the Compost Bins Page
  • This coming Friday we'll install a simple device to make some of the new raised garden beds  self-watering.
  • We should have a new base for one of the bins in Shepherd street to install this Friday as well, thanks to Sean
  • Check out the new lucerne mulch on the citrus and some other plants - it looks terrific. We got it out before the rain came so it has had a handy watering in over the weekend.  Thanks Sydney Council for providing the mulch - much appreciated
  • There's plenty of leaves on the bay trees if you want some fresh bay leaves any time - much nicer to cook with than dry ones bought from the shops.

Here are some photos of us gardening last Friday.
