๐ Leaves, leaves and more leaves. You can never have enough or too many leaves when it comes to improving your soil, and you're always improving your soil.
๐ I go out early each morning on the weekends and rake up as many leaves as I can and place them in a part of the yard that I have spare and just let them sit there to rot.
๐ when they are ready I either add them to the compost or spread them around the garden as a sub mulch.
๐ A quick and easy way to get your onion seedlings planted.
๐ I don't bother with sowing onion seeds because one, in this case, a $4.00 punnet will supply me with up to 25 seedlings once divided.
๐ It also cuts around 6 weeks off of the growing onions process.
๐ We thank you for watching and invite you to stick around and watch a few more videos while you're here.

Buxus plants are a traditional favourite, as they are perfect for formal evergreen hedges. Small glossy green leaves on a compact dense shrub, make them perfect for clipping or topiary. They are relatively slow growing, and shade tolerant.
Here's how I propagate an azalea from cuttings.
It the beginning of February and from now (late summer early autumn) until the end of March is an ideal time to take
azalea cuttings.
They should strike easily and readily with or without rooting hormone applied.
The advantage of rooting hormone would be to speed things up and in some cases help with the development of a more vigorous root system.

After three months of good summer growth, it's now time to re-pot the dwarf mulberry into a larger pot and while I'm at it take some semi-hardwood cuttings.

They say, Green thumbs, do not fret. Pockets of soil in urban areas are still
available for the increasingly popular practice of urban gardening.
And while the proximity of these soils to pollution and industry can
increase levels of contamination by harmful compounds, some scientists
have found that the risks associated with gardening in these soils may
not be as high as first thought. Read more here.
My carrots were overdue for thinning, but now I'm thinking steamed baby carrots for dinner. I just need to work a meal around them.
