View of turning compost with Meta glasses. I have come across some compost snobs and it turns out compost can be a touchy topic - some people have it down to an exact science while others - even experienced gardeners! -are just learning as they go. I’m keen to hear struggles and tips so we can all

I spend so much time in front of the fruit trees and so many thoughts go through my mind. I didn’t buy any tree as I I already have plenty, but if I don’t have any I would have bought one. #busychrisgardening #southernhemispheregardening #nectarinetree #melbournegardener

Some yoghurts in the supermarket have thickeners to maintain a longer shelf life. We go through a lot of yoghurt in my household. I don’t know how much $$ these dehydrators are at the moment, but for me well worth it. I had to try and speak softly as people were still sleeping #busychrisgardening

Growing celery takes patience—and a lot of water! Beneath those lush green stalks is a massive, network of roots constantly drinking. Keep the soil moist, and you'll harvest pure crunch. #busychrisgardening #southernhemispheregardening #gardeningtips #celery #growingcelery

This tree is still very small to produce fruit, but fruit trees are a long game. I don’t like peach skin but I love the flavour of the flesh and would be so tasty to make jams/compote or use in baking and pastries. #busychrisgardening #peachtree #southernhemispheregardening #gardeningtips

These are great. This is such an easy way to stop grass from growing. #busychrisgardening #gardeningtips #gardenpath #southernhemispheregardening

Blanching is what you need to do to get those super pale, tender bulbs. Mounding the soil around the base blocks out sunlight keeping the bulbs crisp and sweet. #busychrisgardening #fennel #blanchingfennel #southernhemispheregardening #gardentips

I’ve been seeing this stuff for a bit but not sure how long they’ve been there. At least you don’t always have to go to a garden centre for one item. #busychrisgardening #colesgardening #southernhemispheregardening #gardenertips

Peppers can be "overwintered" and I've done it, but I didnt do it this year because I still had some on the plant and just left them. I'm curious to know if anyone in tropical climates grow them all year round and are successful. #peppers #busychrisgardening #southernhemispher

August is a great time to plant potatoes. They start to sprout now and as the greens grow up top, the october rains will water them beautifully. #busychrisgardening #potatoes #southernhemispheregardening
