Home Grown

I have been planting my vegetable garden with the onset of Winter and have found that it is growing better this year than in the past few years. Mind you the weather has been perfect, cool and Sunny with the nights quite brisk if that is possible in Far North Queensland but compared to normal it has been freezing.  Yesterday I picked the first of the Pak Choy and it tasted so fresh and crisp you just don't realise how much different the home grown vegetables are until you have them. This year I have tried to use only organic fertilisers and insecticides and have found Seasol and Powerfeed to be great fertilisers when used regularly these can now be purchased in 1lt Casks from Bunnings and are very economical and very convenient in this form. With the insecticide you can use a Pyrethrum based liquid or as I do use Neem based products which I find work very well.
