Good Organic Gardening Magazine Issue#6.1 - 2015 Vorige editie

Got lots of green waste after storms or pruning? Use it to create a compost pile that’s ready to spread in just 18 days. We show you how. We also have features on growing gourmet mushrooms, chooks for looks, with weird and wonderful-looking breeds to add to your flock, using diatomaceous earth on your garden and in your henhouse, what short days and cold soil temperatures mean for your garden, and seed saving. Crops covered in-depth are onions, broad beans, Jerusalem artichoke, samphire, cauliflower, potato, eggplant and fennel, as well as heirloom plums, rose hips and lavender, with mouthwatering recipes for some. Our gardening folk include a couple from the former Yugoslavia using their traditional family methods, a Melburnian family who grow fruit, vegies and fish in their suburban yard, and Sunshine Coast permaculture experts who grow most of their food among the rainforest on their lush property. Plus, as always, what needs doing in your garden right now.
