Keith and Elisabeth
Q&A time again! Who will be this month’s lucky winner of the fabulous prize donated by The Plant Runner?
- Keith waters 4mm per day based on his particular conditions. Watering amounts will vary depending on soil and weather conditions. Be guided by what works!
- Best watering for trees is around the drip line - that is at the breadth of the canopy (not the trunk). MycoGold is an excellent addition and can be forced down by using a broadfork
- For pot planting Keith recommends mixture of quality potting mix (such as Scotts Premium Potting Mix mixed with compost and mulch with Who Flung Dung. Tomatoes would need a pot of at least 40 litres diameter.
- Shady, clay soil? Check out Macadamia Pinkalicious, Blueberry Ash, Mountain Pepper, Gymea Lilies, Bangalow Palm, Graptophyllum, Evodia
- Looking for quality tools? Check out F.D Ryan's
- Advice on potatoes - check out recent episode HERE
- Advice on garlic - check out previous episode HERE
- Growing seeds in cooler climates. Keith recommends investing in a heat mat and using a Moon calendar
- Asparagus - do not harvest for 3-5 years! Listen to Keith’s other tips!
- Growing deciduous trees under a large native tree? Apply MycoGold to assist with water retention. Comfrey Boking 14 planted at the drip line deep mines the goodness that then becomes a natural mulch
