Garden Hose

 I know a bit, perhaps a lot about garden hoses and the trouble they can be.

With our large one-acre garden I have to do a lot of watering so I need a good quality hose.

There is nothing worse than having to continually take out kinks in a hose.

Some hoses go hard in the sun and perish which is so frustrating, especially if they have been expensive.

I recently bought this hose from Bunnings, it was a risk as it was made from new material.

To my delight the hose has never kinked and remains supple and easy to handle and has an eight year warranty.

Yes, I am happy with my purchase and would recommend it.

Heat Mat for Propagation.

 We have found this firm to be very good and helpful and there product is Australian made.

Best Potting Mix

 

Best Potting Mix

 Trip to Centenary Landscapes at Darra today to collect one metre of potting mix and some composted bark.

This is for Judy to continue propagating and for me to start potting all my stored Amorphophallus tubers.

For the Amorphophallus the composted bark and perlite will be mixed in with the potting mix.

It's a fair trip one we only make of a Sunday to avoid the traffic but it is worth it as the potting mix is the best we have found so far.

Beneficial Fungi.

 I have been sent a pack of this beneficial Fungi.

Will be interested to see how it goes.

All I have done so far is add it to my compost, later I will water it into the garden.

Soil Improver

This is without a doubt a fantastic product.

Used to be 'Active 8' but now they have improved it adding a further eight elements into the mix.

Bunning's do not sell Rocky Point products but most Garden Centers, Produce Stores do.

We grow vegetables with this mixed into the soil and when it's time to plant the Caladiums lot's of bags go into the garden.

Potting Mix

This was a great potting mix but now they have changed the formula and we hate it.

It is very light without much body and it dries out very quickly.

Seems to have a lot of sand in it.

Hope they soon go back to the old mix as they will be getting a lot of complaints.

I will be testing other products soon and hope to find a really good mix that I can recommend to you.

Ryobi One Power Shears

This is a great tool by 'Ryobi One' powered by an 18 v battery.
As I have said previously I need to make my gardening life a bit easier so I looked at this at Bunning's and said 'That looks like it may help me" so I bought it just in time to help me with cutting back several Carambola trees.
So am I happy, yes it did help and made my life a bit easier.
Ryobi One if registered on line with extend to warranty to six years.
