Did anyone find out any stockists of seamungus in Melbourne?
I'm looking for 20kgs + of it.

Fu - thanks for that!! Time for me to arm myself with some weed killer. Let's hope the Melbourne weather turns on the heat over Christmas!
Would this work for the…

Thanks all for the suggestions. I don't think physical digging will kill it. Remember I've had a bobcat / digger go through the place twice but the bloody thing still…

Actually I just googled up Canna - the plants I saw on wikipedia look like they have a soft fibrous stem/leaves.
The one I have when it grows up - the…

So how do I kill a canna?
Thanks for the input so far!

I have in my backyard the hardiest indestructible plants in Australia.
These plants have survived physical removal via a bobcat during demolition works, lay dormant while a new house was being…

I bought my 25kg bucket of Molasses from there.
It's called Pet Horse Farm in DFO, Essendon.
I think the website is http://www.pethorsefarm.com.au

Cool - thanks for that. I think I'll stick to the retail one for a while. I'm sure it'll be a bit of time before I buy the 25L tub!

P.S.…

Fu,
I was at a wholesaler today and saw that Seasol has commercial 5L and 25L tubs. What's the difference between the commercial product and the retail on?
The 5L commercial one…

Hey Fu - guess what? I can finally see the beginnings of green buds on the mulberry tree! It's ALIVE!!!

Thanks Fu for the reassurance.
It's a bit frustrating watching all these other trees around the neighbourhood spring into life, while mine are sitting there, brooding.

I live in Melbourne, on a site that's had a new house put on it.
The heavy clay soil was dug out and replaced with compost/manure/soil to around 2m wide.
I had…

A long overdue thanks for the reply, maggie!
I got the deciduous fruit trees for the southern fence, and veges for the northern fence.

Just wondering - have your bare rooted ornamental pears started to bud?
I keep looking at mine - no action - have I got a dead stick in the ground?!

Having finished building a house - I suggest you pay the $$$ and get more than you think you need. It's extremely costly getting an electrician back to create 1…

Ok I've got a very stupid question.
I've got an area that is next to the northern fence on my block.
In winter (i.e. now) it doesn't get much direct sun.
In summer,…

I think I'll be planting throughout now and winter.
Just got to do the soil prep for each tree that will go in!

Hi,
I'm in Melbourne, with a new property - soil is fairly average, though I've done all the tricks and tips Fu mentioned.
Looking at garden plans and getting trees and shrubs…

Kek,
Zeolite can be obtained from Bulleen Art and Garden near Heidelberg.
I also found Olsen's Bio Green at Preston Bunnings.

Fu - oops - but it does smell really nice!
The mixture was put in a seasol sprayer, and then mixed more with water as I…

Beautiful day in Melbourne today. So I did what everyone else did and worked on the garden. Got some molasses and mixed it in (approx 1L Molasses to 8L water)…

Guys/Gals,
Just google and look around. I'm in Melbourne, and I had the same experience with Mulchnet. So I just started calling arborists and tree loppers. Most want to deliver in…

I got mine in the mail the other day - thanks!!

I'm in a similar situation though my area isn't as big as yours. I laid out turf lawn on a portion of the backyard only, and am planning to cover…

Thanks Fu!
Wow quick reply over an Easter weekend.
For the benefit of others in the forum I found a 25kg bag of Zeolite at Bulleen Art and Garden - $14.95.
No…

Hi,
Well I wish I found this forum BEFORE I laid my lawn!!
I'm in Melbourne and the lawn (Buffalo Palmetto) has been laid on top of a layer of top soil,…
