First, when I initially set up my account and went to edit my p…

Uses for lemon peel

by Skud,

I've recently seen a couple of interesting ideas for using lemon peel and I thought I'd post them here and see if anyone has others.

  1. Peel the lemons with a fruit-peeler (i.e. into thin strips, avoiding pith) and then dry them in the oven on a low heat. Put the dried peels i…

Rhubarb in containers

by Skud,

I've got some rhubarb seedlings which I hope to plant out in containers. Does anyone have much experience with this? Any particular tips? I know rhubarb's meant to be a heavy feeder so I'm wondering particularly how to keep it happy in that regard. I've also heard it's a good co…

"Nearby gardens" or similar feature?

by jinty,

I see from previous posts that a "friends" type feature has been suggested already. How about a "gardens near you" feature, for those of us who have specified a location?

This was going to contain much more whining about our landlords

by Skud,

… but I'm tired of it, so I won't. I just wish our mutual understanding of the term "quiet enjoyment" involved fewer inspections and more autonomy in the garden.

Anyway. The other day I picked up some herbs from the CERES nursery, and on Monday I planted them along the front fence:

Crop page suggestions

by maco,

I only have one for now, but for a bigger mouse target, I think the image, not only the crop name, should be linkified.

Any others?

Personalized Avatars

by ribbonknight,

I see that other people are able to upload images to use as their avatars, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Worms!

by juliet,

Dug out compost this week and I have never SEEN so many worms. It was a highly pleasing sight. I've seen a decent number in the raised beds, too. Given that in summer 2011 when we moved in the whole garden was paved over and the ground underneath was compacted clay with virtually no soil life vis…

Southern hemisphere - what are you planting for winter?

by Skud,

Let's get this ball rolling! I notice there are a lot of antipodeans (mostly Melbournians, ahem, wonder why that is?) signed up so far, so I'd like to know… what are you planning on growing over the winter?

We have some chard that's still going strong from the summer, but I think I'll plant…
