Dear Wally. I have ignored my brassica plants and now they are covered in the grey eggs of white butterflies. Is it too late for me to save them.

It could be pot bound or not getting enough nutrients. Apart from watering what have you been doing with it?

I'm not much of a gardener but want to plant a garden 1.8 wide x 18mtrs long behind a fence at the front of my house. I want only native plants up to 1.5 high. Is there somewhere I can get help to plan this?

I have a Puka tree in my Auckland garden. In some places the leaves are turning brown and on closer inspection it appears that toward the end of the branches the bark has been 'eaten away' right around the branch as if it has been ringbarked. Any clues/remedies?

Re: Turning Biowaste into Compost

ex hippy — Sat, 29 Sep 2012 05:17:41 -0000

We used to compost all our faecal and urinary waste. We were miles from nowhere and the compost heap was a long way from our house. it was a distasteful job but the high nitrogen component meant that the compost quality was excellent - fine, black and silkie. it grew vegetables to the size we've never been able to replicate since our return to ?civilization. Can't see how practice this could be applied to most other households though.

What do you think about turning human waste into compost - I think it is ok for amenity horticulture in the right places but not for food...?

Hi! Thanks for this information. We live in Karori, a suburb of Wellington that is often colder than the City itself, are there any fruit trees that will enjoy this type of climate? I have planted last year two dwarf apple trees, they seem to go toward flowering now, so hopefully, I will get some fruits, but I am interested in knowing what else I could plant... Cheers

Hi Robin, You can contact the council and let them know about the removal of the trees. They may not be protected.

many thank for your gardening tips. I guess summer is the best season for vegetable and flower planning. Also needed watering daily so that vegitables wont get dry and waste.

My landlords recently had a 40 year old (or so) Kowhai taken out as well as several other native trees. They now intend cutting down several others. As I rented the house because of the privacy and the birds, as well as the overall effect of having so much greenery around me, I will probably move on. But, there seems to be no repercussions about removing so called protected trees.

I have always wanted to see fruit trees in public spaces and love the idea of community gardens. Good on you for putting these ideas forward to council.

Hi Mac,

I have had a good look but cannot find a source for you. Are you looking for a levelling bar or a laser level?
