Bunnings Sausage Sizzle: a Great Success!
What a wonderful day at Bunnings Adelaide Airport on Sunday 15 March!
Help! Why are my seedlings not growing?
This article is for all the frustrated gardeners out there with seedlings that just won't grow. While it can be for many reasons, it is often linked to the potting mix and the culprit is called: Nitrogen drawdown. But what is nitrogen drawdown and how can it be avoided?
Community Gardens Gathering: A Day of Connection and Growth

Another successful sausage sizzle
Our Sunday 10th August fundraiser at Bunnings Adelaide Airport went better than expected. We set up at 9am and ran until 5pm, with the busiest period hitting around lunchtime when we nearly ran out of sausages.
Our black gold: Spent coffee grounds
Until a few years ago, we used to collect horse manure from the local racetrack for our composting needs. While it worked reasonably well, it came with a few too many issues: it smelled awful, and more importantly, we had no real idea what was in it. Racing horses are often medicated, and traces of those substances may have been passed on to our soil. So, we changed course.
Winter Mulching 2025
Winter pruning season has begun in earnest, and with it comes an abundance of pruning wood that needs proper management.
Of course, we could simply hire a large green skip bin and have an external waste provider take it all away, but that wouldn't be very sustainable – and it's costly too. Instead, we're putting our own mulcher to work, keeping all those valuable nutrients in our garden through composting the mulched wood.
