The newly erected fence. We lost the old fibro cement one in a storm (now THAT was an ugly fence). Luckily we didn't lose the grapevine (note temporary tee-pee suppor

Will have a look for some photos. Been meaning to set up a site to load some photos on to anyway.

We have a large aivary in the backyard and a park over the back fence - mice are inevitable. Happy for them to roam in the garden but have to…

There are heaps of different colours to choose from now - just be aware that the fence colours are different than the roofing ones.
I didn't like the traditional colours…

I don't see any problem, either for growing plants or aesthetics. We have a rendered house and a colorbond fence (although it is the rear fence) and I certainly think…

+1 for the bristlecone pine. What an absolutely beautiful tree. Imagine lounging in one of those branches with a good book - but maybe minus the snow.

haha....lots of questions. But just this one will do for now. Dont want to be greedy!!

Photos would be awesome. We didn't have much choice in plants here so, consequently, the feijoa has a few more branches/stems than I would like. From what I have read…

Over the weekend - planted garlic, onion, chives, carrots and lettuce. Wasn't sure whether to mulch now or after the seeds sprout, so just mulched around the area with seedlings.…

Hi Kek. A quick question about your feijoas if I may. I read in another post that you are going for a bare trunk look. Does that mean you have…

Last year my hubby 'pruned' our avocado tree as it is getting quite large and is quite close to the house. His definition of pruning is generally taking a chainsaw…

Does anyone know where to source Feijoa plants in WA (Perth or South West), and which varieties are the best?

Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved puppy at the weekend. She had been with us for 15 years and really was a member of our family. We…

We have a Bosch dishwasher and side-by-side fridge and are very happy with both. However the fridge is 903 mm wide so may not quite fit in your space. Don't…

Now that the autumn leaves have started falling it has got me thinking about mulch. Normally I just rake them onto the garden beds, and then rake them again the…

Thank you so much Fu. I spent hours yesterday reading all your stuff and will now take a different approach to the lawn and garden. As you summised, we just…

Ok, so after lots more reading this arvo I am guessing that my problem is water retention and generally unhealthy soil. Went out in the garden with my trusty trowel…

So far the coolest think I have found is a motorbike frog living in our pond (Litoria moorei). I was washing the dishes after dinner and started complaining to hubby…

Kerry I think there is a dwarf form that you may find more suitable, although I don't know if roots would still be a problem.
Personally I dislike them. Partly I…

Hi Fu Manchu
Just re-starting this post as I am hoping it will be the answer to my lawn problems. We recently move to south west WA from the east. Our…

We have just ordered our new kitchen cupboards and, while we wait, need to prepare the rest of the kitchen ready for the install. We have removed one wall and…

When buying my mixer I took the advice from someone on the net (possibly this forum). They said to consider whether or not something would pi** you off EVEY time…

We have just ripped out a blind corner pantry from our 20 yr old kitchen because I absolutely HATED it. The dimensions sound the same. I can see that it…

Thanks Appliance guru. That is great info as we are currently in the market for an undermount rangehood. I have my eye on the Schweigen but am wondering whether I…

I'm not a fan of underbench microwave ovens as I hate getting a face full of steam/heat when I open the door. This is also one of the many reasons…

What you need is a Magic cloth - or Magic eraser. These are the white cubes that you can get at the supermarked or your local hardware store. They really…
