      Plant endemic pioneer species. Shade out exotic grasses etc. May need to use enviro friendly weed matting etc. Atack weed species via many different methods as appropriate. Cut and paint,spray,shade out, hand weed. Persistence is key... are you still with me ???

          Love your use of the word "Voxuall" - you sound like a pom. My first cars were Vauxhalls.

            A good day had at Caloundra. Got home late, ate junk food and put the young man to bed.

              Good on you Spammy. I used to live there a very long time ago.

                So, we had a bit of a cheese moment on Saturday.

                If you had to give up cheese or chocolate, what would it be?

                This one's easy for me - I don't like chocolate. Well, I like the immediate taste but hate the aftertaste. Also, chocolate puts me on a different planet.

                But I could never give up a good Stilton.

                  Bridge,

                  I have actually been doing this at the back of my property for the last couple of years. I haven't always planted as well as I might have (eg; planted the wrong species of one plant and it is twice as big as the one that I meant to put in!!) and the enviro-weed mat doesn't last as long as it is supposed to and is now ripping to shreds) but I sooooo love looking out over my deck now, and we have lots of bird life around now too. Lots of hand weeding still, but also lots of plants are self-seeding so I keep people supplied with little native seedlings. Planting endemic species is definitely the way to go.

                  Monday again. Blech. Hanging out for Easter weekend ......
                  Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn

                    Morning Missios, and all who drop by,
                    Your backyard sounds beautiful Missy, and yep, roll on easter w/kend! I've got 3 weeks hol's starting the week after that too....yeehaw!

                    Bridgos, your talk of land generation, and the different techniques is not only turning me on, but also very interesting, and yep, i'm still with you, and i'd love to hear more! (sorry folk's....what have i started? :H ) :h

                    Spamious, cheese or chocolate? I love em both, but if i had to choose, as it seems i do, i'll take cheese in all it's glory.

                    Raining here, and i love it! Rain, hail or shine. I love it all, so bring it on. And, since i've stopped drinking, along with that, goes the silly dwelling upon the past. Ah, freedom! There is no longer, rain in my heart.

                    A safe, sober, magical day to all malakas.

                      See what I did there ? See how I did that ?
                      Whenever I want the house to myself, I just start talking about bush regen. :H:H:H
                      Yep the enviro mat doesn't last forever does it Missy ? But once you get that top tree canopy up, it'll shade the buggers out.
                      Don't get me started on local provenance and DNA testing for biodiversity. Please.

                      Yay. he rain just started here.......

                        Arvo all,

                        We only had a bee's dick of rain but every bit counts.
                        Choice between chocky and cheese? The chocky can go. The stilton's the problem. It just screams "you need port with this". Hence, since starting here over four years ago, I still will not keep port in the house. I used to love the stuff and who can drink "just the one, thanks"? A bottle later and you've fried your brain some more.

                        So - I'm in front for tonight's tea - have just made a batch of pesto and love love love the smell of fresh basil and garlic wafting through the kitchen.

                        Bridge - when I bought my place, it was a denuded, chewed-to-death sheep grazing block. Pretty amazing what comes back when you let it.

                        Hey Ronnie - you alright?

                          Afternoon all....cheese or chocolate?? Couldn't decide....
                          I had a major relapse on the weekend and so now I'm at home, feeling like crapola...ugh...

                            Angel - sorry to hear that. Did you have to chuck a sickie? You know the drill. Just get back on the case.

                            Remember it's full moon soon, folks. Silly-bugger stuff seems to happen - so be prepared.
