Question Time 24!

Muddy Boots

Q&A time again! Who will be this month’s lucky winner of the fabulous prize donated by The Plant Runner?

• Granitic sand and Decomposed Gravel - what’s the difference? Granitic sand is crushed rock under 4mm. Keith thinks “Deco Gravel” as the listener refers to, is essentially the same.
• Carrot seeds where tomatoes have previously been, good or bad? Good! “Carrots love tomatoes”
• NPK - Potassium helps with flowering and fruiting. Apply organic potassium alongside Munash Rock Dust to improve productivity
• pH - very Alkaline results. Hear what Keith thinks is going on!
• Strawberry with a lot of runners and not so much fruit. What’s going on? Use only the first runner (best genetics). Cambridge Rival and Chandler varieties are what Keith would recommend. (refer to our Berry episode on 23.4.24)
• Repot lemons or put them in the ground? Do either. Remove by tipping on its size and use hose to loosen soil. Either put into the ground (hole twice the size of the root ball or into a pot larger than the last)
• Roses? Where to buy and what to look for? Look for reputable growers. David Austin roses come with Keith’s recommendation
• Black volcanic soil is highly reactive and can crack. Can be improved with addition of Clyde’s lignite and Clyde's Compost. Gypsum and Rooster Booster may help for the lawn in these conditions
• WA listener looking for screening plants as a wind break - Keith recommends checking out Domus, Hortbiz and Frenchams. Take a look at their range.

Thank you for your great questions again!
