Default Water restrictions and gardens

g'day rob,

you can send the rain anytime you like mate, we will welcome it with
open arms.

we pretty much use mushy compost exclusively it is affordable and easy
to get, have you seen our latest project on our site?

i ahve read a lot of comment that is sort of against mushy but for us
those things never happen, we are growing summe crops in our beds
(just started last autumn) after a full crop of brassicas still with
some cabbages to come and silverbeet still abound from the plants
first planted in the autumn.

we use hay mulches and add our kitchen scraps under the mulch so this
all feeds the agrden along with when a crop is finished the remains
gets pulled and broken up roughly (no shredder this time) and laid
back on that spot and covered with mulch, now next autumn i reckon
we'll be adding more mushy on top of what is there and mulching that
and on we go.
