Did my lawns today. Bloody hell they are looking good.

I did mine twice, once with no catcher as it was too high. Then let the clippings dry and mowed it again with the catcher. Had to empty it over ten times.

Have pulled my greenhouses down and used the framing to make a garden net for the length of my garden bed instead. Tried and 3 bunnings and not one had the bird netting size I need in stock.

Planted my mango tree about four years ago when I moved into my new house. Always wanted one having grown up in Port Hedland with a tree in the yard that produced so much we sent boxes of it to relatives in Perth. Finally got a crop (ok, only four lmao) after previous years the fruit would drop off prematurely.

I was going to buy one and have it in my pool area which is quite warm and humid. I have an avacado in there doing well.

Can I just use lawn fertiliser on bamboo?

Can I just use lawn fertiliser on bamboo?

Not sure what nutrient requirements bamboo needs. Lawn fertiliser has a specific npk, as does fruit and citrus food and veggie food. It’s probably not going to be too bad for it, I’d say being a lawn good it will be higher in nitrogen which causes the grass to stay green. Maybe just apply it at half strength to ensure no issues.

Yeah someone told me bamboo is basically the same as grass so I just wondered if you could use lawn fertiliser

Yeah I just looked up what bamboo likes in fertiliser and it is nitrogen so it the lawn stuff will be perfect

I perhaps should have done that myself. I was hoping someone here would just know. Thanks for going to the trouble though.

All good, helps to know stuff like this given I’d been working in a nursery until a year ago for 12 years.

Seem to remember it took 7 years before mine gave me any fruit. For whatever reason got none last year. This year however an abundance on the tree. Getting around to netting them now, have had issues with rats getting to them in previous years.

Finally moved my plants to a greenhouse this spring, and they're loving it

My wife just bought me a fake flow hive, will be interesting to see if I can get some honey.

Can anybody explain what is going on here to my English Box Hedge?

First three pics obviously something is amiss, but I am not sure what has happened to the plant, or how to fix it? Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't think that portion of each tree is dead so to speak, but the leaves are obviously a different colour, and there are those little bud things too?

The fourth pic is of how the rest of them look.

Potentially water stress either overwatered or underwatered. English box also get bronzing in cooler months which this could be as well.

It's been like that for a while, and they get the same amount of water as the other ones.

What are those little bud things?

Is there a way to fix/circumvent this? And they have had the bronzing for a few months now.

The drainage in that particular spot maybe better/worse , soil can vary greatly even within a few metres. Need a better pic to see what those bud things are, zooming in just blurred it. The only other thing it might be is a nutrient deficiency so adding a standard fertiliser may remedy it. Yellowing of leaves can be a nitrogen/iron/manganese deficiency, this is where a fertiliser can help fix the deficiency.

Could also be Box Blight which is a fungal disease, are those white buds possibly fungus spores?? If it is box blight cut the infected bit out and then use a fungicide on the plant and soil. I would treat the all the boxes with the fungicide as spires can spread easily.

Does this help?
