Lettuce ALL work together?


Thanks to our Canteen for the supply of lettuce leaves for our Snail farm/s. We hope that one day we will be able to supply fresh, organic, hyroponic and aquaponic lettuce to our canteen?

Going Potty...










A number of Chrysanthemums perished after planting. We transfered those surviving Chrysies in small pots to larger pots. We have begun to move our Chrysies from shade to full sun to 'harden' each plant. Thanks to all 'Wadalba Aggies' for their hard BUT rewarding work.

Chemicals on the Farm


Plants were watered with a Seasol- Seaweed Concentrate mixture. This helps to reduce stress due to planting and heat, stimulates root development and resistance to drought, pests & disease.
