It’s growing season here in Townsville - here are some recently renovated beds at North Shore.

Herbs are ready for harvest for those that need some - Windermere Loop, Burdell.

Starting to get a high (by my standards at least) number of calls about prepping for growing season and avoiding pesticides.

So cool - Atlas Soils is just waiting on some relief in weather to release so cool new products inspired by you guys.

The image below says it all.

Complexity is king and even the smallest of gardens brings life and resilience to both you and the home.

Cheers happy Friday

An interesting read for those with 12 minutes. And unpacks connections between lawn care and urban food.

I will begin increasing local information in this page in coming months as we enter growing season. A lot of interesting projects underway and would love to hear about local food stories (successes and learnings)…

Hope all are well

Next time you or your kids eat a blueberry 🫐

The seed has perfectly engineered extracellular complex that prevents water from entering the seed.

The best engineers have been around for thousands of years.

Global food supply chains are under increasing pressure.

The good news, growing your own food has never been cooler 😎

Now is a great time of year to get planting. And I will amp up posts in coming months after a busy year.

Hope all are well.

Biocommunication exists between plants and insects - it is enabled through soil health.

Strong soils attract insects that maximise agricultural abundance.
