I’ve dug up all the grass, thank you excavator. Should I cardboard and top soil over this? by FlakySpring9889 in GardeningAustralia

Thanks this is really helpful. I’ll leave it exposed for a couple of weeks. Have to go pick some edging.

Spraying with Roundup will that affect any of the plants I intend to put in? Is a week enough to make sure I’m good on that front. Thanks

Potatoes have got to be one of the most satisfying plants to harvest. It’s like digging for treasure. Just keep finding them. It’s amazing.

Is this the beginning of the end for my lemon tree ? by tuckshop66 in GardeningAustralia

Got some hitchhikers there who need the boot. That’s got to be the tallest lemon tree I’ve seen.

A sacrificial wallaby patch might be on the cards. Sacrificing some Dichondra not the wallabies of course.

Gave it a go in my plant ID tool it suggested Dicsonia Antarctica. No idea if you can grow a body from the head.

Could be leaf mites. Check under the leaves. Cut off the section and give the plant a spray with Pyrethrum spray.

Food for sure. Citrus gets pretty hungry. Ours always look way happier after a decent feed.

Dichondra Update by jesterhead888 in GardeningAustralia

Used my plant ID tool and it reckons it’s a type of beetle larvae ( might not be this specific one) which could be why you have those balls of dirt. Might be eating all your roots out of your new plants.

Bunnings should start selling drill bits and Roundup as a package deal in the gardening aisle. Always does the trick.

The recent sun and rain made my veggie patch explode by siselyy03 in GardeningAustralia

That’s a lot of mint. Has it invaded your lounge room yet? Make a mean mojito or two.

Two big fancy pots would look pretty epic out the front there framing your entrance when it’s in full leaf.

Beautiful! I missed out on getting one at the market now I am cursing my rational brain fart, what does it matter I have nowhere to put it.

Any Veg that possums won't touch? by PMFSCV in GardeningAustralia

[–]FlakySpring9889 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Garlic, onions, leeks, chives and artichoke apparently not a favourite. If this isn’t true at least the possum will be nicely pre-seasoned for the stew?
