With a Scottish upbringing, soil on my hands is the least of my worries. I've just got to be careful not to lick my fingers.

I do like to look, feel, and smell what I'm working with.
The pandanus leaves are glove positive without a doubt.

I did this certificate in nutritional farming with NutriTech Solutions. It helped enhance my horticultural knowledge and was a great course to refresh my basic understanding of plant and human health requirements.

It has spurred me to further use various beneficial soil fertilisers and amendments. I have started a renewed interest in my fruit, veggies and compost at home. I’m seeing some pretty quick results from my efforts.

The thing is, it has been a reminder to enjoy the garden. That’s my main thing, for people to enjoy their setting, whatever they do; however, they want the garden to look.

Enjoy your garden but make the garden friendly for yourself, your plants and all the other little visitors we may or may not see.

Fascinating fasciation.
Brisbane city street planting, tough conditions for growing. I'm not sure of the cause of the fasciation, there are a few possible causes.
