Kananook Community Garden

PSA - Bug Alert: Tea Tree Web Moth infested my 4 X Dwarf Tea Tree in the round native bed. It was quite bad and the plants were dying from it.

Solution: Cut back as much as possible & then spray and ensure any caterpillars & larvae are covered.

The web moth seems to target the tea tree specifically so shouldn't spread to other beds/plants in the garden. The horticulturist recommended the Yates product as something 'serious' was required.

I was looking forward to the winter flowering. 😐

Weekly at Kananook Community Garden:

If you'd like a weekday catch-up, chat & a cuppa or soup, we are at the garden Thursday mornings from 10am. Weather permitting of course ⛅

WORKING BEE UPDATE: DUE TO TOMORROW BEING MOTHERS DAY 💐 WE WILL RESCHEDULE THE WORKING BEE TO NEXT SUNDAY.

HAPPY ❤️💐

Garden Update: Here's a few activities that have been happening at KCG in the last few weeks. A climbing frame for the passionfruits, a tap in the worm compost zone, a plumbed sink, mulch ground cover, community bed lettuces ( thanks Rodney for all of this amazingly generous work). There's an abundance of community herbs: lemongrass, basil, chives, lemon myrtle & rosemary.

Save the date! Open Garden/Working Bee - 10 May, 10am - 1pm. Bring a plate to share after a productive & social morning. We are transforming a bed to a wicking bed!

A must watch for native garden enthusiasts.
