Will it work or not?

What to do when you have an idea but aren't sure if it is any good or if it will work or not? Call it a trial.

Today I planted two tomatoes into planting holes enriched with Searles 5 in1 product.

It's a new twist on an old idea I'd read about for using garden and kitchen waste materials to create compost planting holes for planting tomatoes in.

A few growing tips and suggestions for growing Rhubarb.

A few growing tips and suggestions for Rhubarb.

Fertilising rhubarb. I like to fertilise rhubarb every 6 to 8 weeks.

They are all leaf, big leaves at that, and will need a constant supply of nutrients. You do know you shouldn't eat the leaves. Rhubarb leaves contain dangerously high levels of oxalic acid which can cause serious kidney damage potentially leading to death. Even though a 64 kg person would need to eat about 10 pounds of rhubarb leaves to die, a small amount still has the ability to make a person sick.

Adding compost to rhubarb.

Applying mulch to rhubarb.

I used Sugar Cane mulch but Lucerne, Wheat or Barley straw or any material that will break down over time will do.

How I grow Micro-greens in the veggie garden. Part 1.

Part one of an ongoing series of growing a five crop micro-green rotation.

Beginning with pea shoots then lettuce, rocket, radish and broccoli.

Some other micro-greens you could try are Beetroot, silverbeet, pak choi, amaranth, chinese cabbage, kale, spinach, sunflower and turnip.

I buy my seeds, (D.T. Brown seeds) from The Reject Shop.

There is more than enough for me in a packet but if you'd like larger quantities then Eden Seeds will supply larger quantities If you need.

Apples and affiliate marketing.

 I have four apple trees growing in my, work, garden that I am espaliering. I am going to buy this book for two reasons. One is to learn more about espaliering and the second will be to review.

 "This is a comprehensive, reliable and informative guide to apples old and new, their care, pest and disease control, propagation and harvesting. Topics include: grow your own organic apples; more apples and less work with Allen Gilbert's new pruning system; treat yourself and your friends to the true taste of apples from bygone years; improve your success rate with Allen Gilbert's new grafting technique; espalier apple trees for unusual landscape effects; grow more than ten different apple varieties on a single tree."

Below is an eBay Partner Network affiliate link (the 2nd photo). When you click on this link it will take you to eBay where you can purchase this book and without costing any extra at all I can get a little slice of the apple pie too.
