Hi Kylie, congrats on the willy wagtail babies!! A huge butcher bird keeps
eating mine...very sad. As for potting mix, the only stuff I've had any
luck with (I even use it for Bonsai plus other stuff of course) is spent
mushroom compost; a bag from Big W is about $8 I think? My modern potting
mix is horrible and won't grow a thing either. Give the mushroom stuff a
go. Did you manage to get hold of my dad?

i haven't tried yet! i had this idea of contacting him for some tips after
hippie solar dude visits us - well, mainly i'm just very disorganised, i
think! do be sure to tell him not to _wait_ for me g. sorry about that.

thanks for the mushroom tip! i've been thinking about getting some after
reading through (parts of) garden len's site, & other sites where people
sing its praises, (& also it is cheap!) i feel a bit more inclined to track
some down now & see what it's like. there's no way it could be worse than
some of the crap i've had recently.
thanks!!
kylie
