Weed Tea

On Gardening Australia last weekend, they had a story about brewing a fertiliser from your weeds. It is especially good for those weeds you don't want to put in the compost because the compost doesn't get hot enough to kill off their seeds. I've already started some brewing and have added some dead comfrey leaves for added nutrients and speedy breakdown. Click on the link to read the story.

Bees

Here I am at home, with a raging sore throat and that mown-down feeling, but instead of being tucked up in bed I'm surfing the internet. I went looking for a different story on the Gardening Australia website, but found this one on bees and backyard beekeeping instead.

Inspired by Cheryl of My Wildlife Sanctuary and also by Hedgewitch, I'm thinking of putting a hive in my garden this spring/summer. It would be great to just build something for the bees and have them take up residence, but I think I probably need to get a hive. Have a look at the story and read about it - maybe keeping bees is something we all need to consider?
