Hey team, hope it goes well tonight.

 

 Just thinking that it might be time to start planning what spring crops we want in what gardens and who will guardian them.....

Hi all -

Just about tomorrow's potluck dinner (my house, 14 Highbury cres, 6:30pm - all welcome!)...

if anyone would like to carpool, I can pick up about four people from the corner of Durham and Aro st at 6pm. Anyone who would like to join please confirm by texting me on 021 268 0883. Lynsey may be able to take a few people from her place too.  

until tomorrow, 

Bella :)

I reckon soon we'll have enough comfrey on site to do this:

 

How to make a liquid fertilizer out of Comfrey by cold pressing.  This is a smell
free method.
 
You need three plastic buckets.
The first bucket is used to collect the liquid comfrey.
In the bottom put a small plastic pot upside down.
In the second bucket drill a number of holes.
Fill this bucket with comfrey leaves packed in tightly and place in the first bucket
on the plastic pot.  Tearing the leaves quickens the process.
Fill the third bucket with some sort of weights,  Gravel works well.  Place this
bucket on top of the comfrey leaves.
Within a couple of weeks or so you end us with a bucket of valuable liquid
fertilizer.  To use, dilute the comfrey concentrate with water.
Thank you Michael Hunt for this item on comfrey fertilizer.

Hey everyone, I can make it to the working bee this weekend afterall- yus! Hope to see you all there :)

 

 I still think we should wait until the next one to make our compost sign, but we can at least talk about it this time.

Hey team, I'm taking a group from Uni on a tour of the gardens this Wednesday. If you haven't seen the sites before it would be a good chance for you too, so feel free to come along.

We'll be meeting at 11am outside the Aro Valley Community Center (48 Aro st).

Hi old Aro friends. I've just created this page about the garden where Ping and I volunteer up here in Auckland. Just letting you know so you can see what we get up to nowadays.

Hey folks, just thought some of you might be interested after last potluck about excellent food sources for bees - we're well on the right track! http://nba.org.nz/about-bees/beneficial-plants-for-bees 

 

I'll plant some lavendar seeds this weekend for the bank. 

Cheers, L.

Hi Jessica- yes please, if you can get some for us that would be great.

Under the fruit trees is an awesome idea. I wonder if they grow ok with nasturtiums?
