Tell us about your garden and what you're growing
Just bought our first home, so am excited about having a permanent residence to invest in the soil! Am using these guidelines from Koanga Gardens to build up the soil: http://www.koanga.org.nz/articles/soil-amendments-using-commercial-...
It's a bit expensive up front, but it's a one-off cost, and I see it as an investment.
Our section is relatively small, but I'm cramming in as much as I can manage! I'm using a mixture of growing in pots, root restriction, dwarf varieties, judicious pruning and espaliering to keep the fruit trees in check.
Hello Kelly and "Welcome" to the new Funk & Flash From Junk & Trash group. Check out the discussion on "Vertical Gardening", very nifty ideas for people who rent and have to keep their gardens mobile. So glad you joined!
Hi Kelly, welcome to the ALL-RAW group! look forward to sharing, inspiring and learning with you. You're not too far from Waiheke either, so we'll have to get you along to one of our monthly raw pot luck dinners!
Hello Kelly, happy to send you some cuttings but off on holiday tomorrow and back the 19th. Will go out with my secateurs when I get back from holiday. Just pm your address to me.

No problem Kelly, will take some today... It's a dull dampish day here in Marton today so quite good for doing that.
Would you like me to get them growing first or just send as cuttings?
Hi Kelly - I must have been in an awful rush when I wrote that below.
