Buffie Mawhinney added a discussion to the group S P I N farming
Starting out
We are wanting to convert a lot of our grassed area in to garden, we were thinking a rotary hoe used once to help dig it up would be the fastest way to get it into production. Does any one have any better ideas? And is there a tool share set up to help people start new gardens. If there is can we borrow a rotary hoe please.
Buffie Mawhinney replied to Isabell Strange's discussion Cuttings and Bottom Heat in the group Propagating by Grafting, Layering and Cuttings"I was reading plants for free and the suggestion for feijoas was to chop the whole tree down, cover the stump to encourage regrowth. Each of the new shoots then had mulch packed around for the summer to encourage root growth. Come autumn you have…"

Hi
Are you interested in the group working bees?
Have a look, let me know what I am doing wrong, as only one person is interested after such a long SPAM.
I am guessing that people thinks I am talking about insects that make honey.

Also, we are required to make a video submission showcasing highlights from our researching phase, if you are ok with it, would i be able to bring along my camera?
Let me know,
Thanks

Hey Buffie,
Thanks for getting in contact with me. If you are available I would love to meet and chat to you about my project and get any advice/ suggestions you have. With all your experience and knowledge it would be great to discuss with you some of my ideas.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Andrea

Pete Russell said… - Hi Buffie. It just means that we can't support the set up of another ooooby stall at the moment. Please feel free to start up a food swap table at the markets, however it would be better if you didn't use the ooooby name for now as we don't want to confuse people. Our plan is to roll out the ooooby stall concept into other markets as soon as possible and we would be happy to discuss that with you when we're ready. In the meantime maybe get the ball rolling under a different name if that's ok. Thanks. Pete

- Hello Buffie. Thanks for your enquiry about the Ooooby stall. We are still tweaking and adjusting the Ooooby Stall at Grey Lynn and not yet ready to support a new stall opening up. Stay tuned though as we hope to be ready some time this spring.
