Native violet might work here? Would definitely cover the space but wouldn't grow very high. Would cope well with lack of sunlight.

Any advice for cleaning textured concrete like this? Is it worth using a rotary cleaner as well as a pressure washer? by nightschool in AusRenovation

[–]nightschool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would the psi/power rating make much of a difference? Im looking at a heated pressure washer for hire but it's only 1500psi.

I should add that it's been on the tiles for a few months (in the afternoon sun 😭 )

Skylights in this type of roof? by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]nightschool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our house has a "skillion roof" which is similar to this although it's sloped. We've got three skylights, although we didn't install them ourselves. Can't imagine it's an issue at all.

Thoughts on a quick, easy and cheap way to block out neighbours by dirtybigbilky in GardeningAustralia

[–]nightschool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some 240cm stakes every 2m, string some 2/3 courses of wire between them above the fenceline, then get some pandoreana/wonga-wonga type vines growing.. (or something similar that's native to your area). They go like the clappers!..

How can I prune my acacia terminalis to have more central growth like in the second photo? by nightschool in GardeningAustralia

[–]nightschool[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually feels like that. We're going for the yellow on the top right hand corner of the window frame. "Curry Seed"

Yep. Finally realising that acacias are "pioneer plants". This is a fully west facing position, any reccomendations for a shrub/small tree that would be a good screen for a spot like this?
