My mother's garden in full autumnal colour: this morning I divided more clivias and planted the extra plants in the communal garden that lines a long path. I also pruned some Ivy geraniums and placed cuttings in the communal garden.
The body corporate does not have much of a gardening budget so we we are filling the big empty gaps beneath trees with plants that Mum can't fit in her garden. I follow the 'don't seek permission' principle but we both understand that if they don't like them then they can feel free to remove them.
After the working bee in Mum's garden last weekend there are fewer potted plants and the camellia in the foreground on the left (dark green leaves) is free of the jasmine that was covering the top of it. #GardeningAU#Melbourne
I finished the day with working on the worm farm. I am fairly new at worm farming. This is the first time I have emptied a bin. The worms love their castings. Over the last couple of weeks I have been fishing out worms from the castings and putting them in the current tray we are using.
The photo shows me dealing with the last lot of castings. I have created little piles. The idea is tha the worms in each pile migrate to the bottom. I then scoop off the top and find the remaining worms left at the bottom which I can then add back to the current tray. #GardeningAU#Melbourne
@perkinsy One wise lady in Perth uses a seive with the worm casting in it. She pours water through the seive into a bucket, which separates the worms. The liquid is then poured onto the garden. I have used this technique and find it works pretty well.
