Fertilise bulbs as they appear from their summer slumber. This will increase flowers this year and into the next. If you have forgotten to divide them, you could still be able to do it now. Plant into soil that has compost or manure added. Bulbs tend to reduce flowering if they are too congested. Now is the time to divide your Autumn crocus. Now is the time to start placing orders for bare-rooted Roses, Fruit trees and spring bulbs. Either call into your local nursery or go on-line to order bare-rooted stock. It’s the cheapest way to get the plants to your door. Start to prepare your ground now by adding well composted animal manure. So much can be grown in the vege patch over winter, here is the list: broad beans, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, fennel, garlic, kale, leeks, lettuce, onion, Pak choy/Bok choy, snow peas, radish, spinach and turnips and swedes. If you’re going to let your ‘patch’ rest during the winter months why not grow a green manure crop to help the soil rejuvenate. I’ve noticed Two-spotted mite on some Viburnum tinus plants. It’s the common Viburnum. There are a few ways to combat this pest. Cut off and burn affected parts of the plant, buy predatory bugs to fight the battle for you (these can be posted to you via stockists, e.g. www. BOBCAT, EXCAVATOR bugsforbugs.com.au), spray with Natrasoap, Rose Shield or Maverick. You must ensure that the undersides of the & TIPPER HIRE leaves are sprayed as well. This pest actually attacks many plants in the garden. Azaleas, Camellias, Roses, even beans. Try not to spray too often as these sprays will kill the ‘good bugs’ too. But more than 1 application will be needed. Collect your autumn leaves and spread around your Camellias and Rhododendrons. They’ll love you for it!

They grow to approximately 120mm in length. Both sexes are similar in appearance. Often observed in small flocks, which feed on the grass. They will fly into dense undergrowth when disturbed by a passer-by. Red-browed Finches may also be called Red-browed Firetails.

This species has been able to survive where humans have altered their habitat, as long as seeding grasses and scrub are around to hide and nest within. Wildlife corridors as well as farm gardens are very important to these finches, providing essential shelter and nesting sites. Unfortunately, however, cats in urban open forest situations do take a heavy toll. Habits: Red-browed Finches forage on seeding grasses, as well as insects, using their bills to pull seed heads towards their feet, securing the heads against a perch, then extracting seeds from the heads at their leisure. While usually found in small flocks communicating with their thin, high pitched ‘zeeee’ call, they seem to

Unfortunately the weather was not kind to us but we did manage to see half the projects before the rain and lightning hunted us indoors where we enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea. Joan and Max were particularly pleased that some of those who had helped with the planting of these projects were able to see the results of their labours. Following are some “Before” and “After” photos.

Pictured Left: Sue and Owen with young Snow Gums and a large native Cherry, Exocarpos cupressiformis.
Uses of EXOCARPOS cupressiformis: Indigenous Australians used the wood of the plant to make spear-throwers as well as bullroarers.The pale wood is very fine-grained with little figure but often striking colour variation. The timber was historically used for making furniture, gun-stocks, and tool handles. It is also suitable for carving and turning and so is also now used for producing decorative and ornamental pieces of art-work in the Arts and Crafts industries. The fleshy pedicel, the “cherry”, is edible and so was used as food by indigenous Australians and by early European settlers. The “fruit” is picked when it is red and so ripe it is ready to fall from the tree. It may be eaten raw, or cooked. Early European settlers used branches as Christmas trees. Unfortunately the foliage of this tree is toxic to stock. In its early stages it is parasitic, mostly on eucalyptus trees.

Currently Veolia’s EPA licence is being updated to reflect environmental monitoring responsibilities when Heron (Mine) commences its monitoring regime. At the most recent Woodlawn Community Consultative Committee meeting, it was reported that odour complaints had declined (possibly due to seasonal conditions and better gas recovery efficiency). OTHER ITEMS DISCUSSED INCLUDED: • An application to the Dept of Planning for the new leachate processing plant • The withdrawal of the recent approval to park trains on the main line and the continuing parking of the second train on the siding adjacent to Tarago Station (this has been happening for awhile for now). Also Saturday trains are now a regular occurrence. • Woodlawn should commission the 7th gas generator by the end of 2017.
