Without the buzzards and bees

Where would we bee?


A blog by Nicolle Kuna

A blog about sustainable landscaping and some eco-humour and eco-creativity.

Inside this blog we look at everything that is encroaching in to our natural urban landscapes – outdoor rooms (errchkem), weeds, urban noise, excess nutrientsThere’s a bit of art to add extra colour and inspiration. We believe in making sustainability fun - more gaming, less shaming.

Horticultural therapy ... my grevillea

Planting more grevilleas, now my clay (rock hard) bed seems to be a little broken up by the wormies, thanks to the laying over of pea straw.

I'm thrilled it's taken ages - but my Mallee Embers Grevillea has finally flowered.  Who says australian natives aren't as beautiful as exotics.

Pea straw is great mulch which also breaks down and nourishes the soil by bringing more worms, who nourish, and aerate soil and create drainage that so many plants need.
