Got a new shredder for fathers day and have been mulching up a storm on my property. It's slow work but the mulch is a really good size and saves me having to dump green waste. My paper daisies are flowering like crazy so have been collecting all their seed so i can grow even more next year.

Had 5 cocos palms removed this morning. They were mega high and we were sick of fronds and berries dropping. Funny thing is, from our back door we don't even notice they're gone. The trunks were thin and the heads were high up out of sight from under our verandah.

cuttings are soo good, free plants. My wife took a heap of cuttings of a plant we grew at work that is notoriously difficult to strike. We might get a 5 % strike rate. My wife has managed to get almost 50% to strike hahahaha and she is normally a plant killer

Ment leave cactus to dry out before re-potting ..
Never had a problem doing early tho.

Anyone ever tried one of these chainsaw electric drill attachments. I was going to just buy a Makita electric chainsaw skin then I saw these , for only $15 it’s might be worth a try. I want to use it for pruning where the branches are too thick for my pruner.

No sorry .


I am keen on those whipper snipper attachments so you don't need to change cord all the time .
Don't know if Bunnings sell them tho.

We go camping quite a bit and an electric chainsaw struggles quite a bit unless it's really thin wood. I doubt that drill attachment would do much more than cut through a pencil.

The neighbours cut back their bush tree thing hanging over the fence with one of those.
The branches where less than 4 or 5 inches thick if that.

I put in a pig face in the garden few months back .
Already cut him back twice very quick growing and been very bossy wants to take over the place.

I put him in a spot where I couldn't get anything to grow ...full sun .
Where plants before couldn't hack the rays .
Looks like I'll have to keep chopping him back .

Yellow is a non native, purple could be a native.

They grow easy from cuttings too.

If they look like this they're the native ones.

Leaves that are about 5-6cms long and fairly thick. Tough as nails these things.

The yellow ones have bigger flowers .Mine does.

I have a few different pig faces .some native some not, I would guess.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Leaves look alot like my yellow monster plant .
