I would like to have some small tree in this space, maybe maximum of 2.5 to 3m. Any recommendations? I'm thinking either a ficus or lilly pilly but unsure which variety. I prefer something bushy with lush green color. Location is Perth.
Thanks in advance.
Help me avoid an argument, or start one and win it
Hi suggest some feature trees and landscaping ideas for my house. It is just plain lawn throughout now.
The pros of gardening. Clients cant seem to appreciate a good mound of moss, sure it was growing on their roof but still..😁
Hey everyone, I have a finger lime that currently is dropping some leaves, a single branch has died back and the stems seem to be yellowing (see photos). I live on the Gold Coast QLD, I suspect it may not be getting enough sun, I'm really hesitant to apply fertiliser as such I haven't except for the long acting granules. It did have a scale infection which I treated and there has been no ant activity since. I did just give it a good water as the soil was dry. The Gold Coast had a few months of rainfall everyday then weeks of on and off rain after that so I was worried about root rot as well

No idea what this plant is, it started growing next to the pak choy and cauliflower in my garden.
Could be from my compost that I used to get the other seeds going etc. Pretty looking purple flower, but nothing I’ve grown before😅
Trying to buy a place in brissy the last six months and literally every single property we inspected had the backyard completely paved over or covered in that cheap plastic grass that just bakes in the sun. It is so depressing seeing developers nuke perfectly good soil just to make a place look "low maintenance" for photos
We got so incredibly burnt out by the market that we ended up using property buyers just to hunt down an older block that actually still had real dirt and wasn't subdivided into oblivion
Finally got the keys on tuesday. the yard is basically solid clay right now and completely overrun with cobbler's pegs, but tbh I am just so relieved to see actual weeds and earthworms again. Going to take a literal mountain of gypsum and compost to fix this ground but I don't even care
Thinking of growing a passionfruit in a pot at the base of this post, to climb up and then out along the top beam. Any recs for the best way to trellice it? Was thinking of using a metal trellice about the same width of the post and beam. Anyone with experience know if this would work well? any suggestions?Thanks 😊
Hey all,
Super novice here, had this landscaping done late last year, since then it’s kind of become, ugly?
Hedges also aren’t really growing (I understand it is winter)
Just wondering what the best care or change would be from here regarding soil, mulch feed etc,
Any advice is welcome! Thank you
I'm just wondering if Woolworths paper shopping bags are safe to use as "browns" for my compost bin; specifically, I'd like to load my kitchen green waste into one and take it down the back of the garden each night, maybe tearing it up as I dump it into the compost.
I tend to forget my reusable shopping bags a lot so I end up with an excess of the paper bags.
I was also going to use some of the paper shopping bags cut and laid out flat as a weed barrier upon which I would place EPAL shipping pallets (I'm in a rental and I want to keep my new veggie/herb garden mobile if I ever need to move)
Hi all
Just after some recommendations. This is a Buffalo lawn in Melbourne. Usually in summer it’s quite lush as it’s watered frequently. But given it’s winter , that’s not happening, and the lawn is starting to yellow. I guess that’s what Buffalo does , as most grasses do in winter as it becomes dormant. It’s normally cut at a 6 notch which I’m thinking is about 88.9mm / 3.5inches roughly. Should it be raised ? I’m not so sure it’s scalping.
Is there any recommendations of anything that can be used for this time of year to keep it somewhat lush / to prevent it from yellowing ? Or is that asking too much of it this time of year.
Planted 6 tube stock 4 weeks ago… in a row, same soil, sun, water, granular food.
But 1 of the 6 whilst not dying, doesn’t seem to want to grow like the other 5.
Is it just behind? Majorly… or something else??
As you can see this is right up against my house. I’m concerned about roots and damage. Should we remove?
Not sure what type of flair to use, we've had this (I believe) Cape Lilac grow between a gap in the concrete and house. Cut it down, threw some round up in there but of course it came back...
Are we going to have to break the concrete to get rid of it?
Thanks in advance!
Can anyone explain what is happening to my mandarin tree?
