Title: LEN'S HOMEPAGE

Australia

Down to earth Gardening Advice from Down Under

About This Site

Although I live in Queensland, Australia, most information provided should be adaptable to similar climate zones, i.e. Tropical, Sub-Tropical and Warm Temperate.

I use permaculture and organic gardening techniques. My gardens are built to be weed free and once established are water efficient. There are no back breaking techniques in developing a garden this way, apart from what is needed to plant major plants.

My garden and yard is best described as a Litter Garden, I don't use a rake very often and the only time I use a grass catcher is when I want clippings for composting.

My house and gardens can also be referred to as Live Areas as i do not remove spider webs from either.

Check out the new page containing a variety of remedies and cures for what ails the garden. The information on this page will help you maintain a truly organic garden.

There is also a page with a bit about the author and his progression into organic edible gardening including photos of the vege gardens. This page will feature a picture of the me and a photographic diary of my edible garden efforts. I will be enlisting the experience of Dave and Gavin - both are Organic Gardeners of note from Down Under.

Selecting the right mowers and trimmers can be a difficult task, and price can detract the purchaser from buying the right piece of equipment, so visit my mower page for the lowdown. You'll also find information on reel mowers and mulching mowers.

Need drainage? You'll also find hints on constructing an Agricultural or Soakage Drain.

Check out my lists of palm varieties from all over the world including Australian natives and see the varieties of ferns and other plants and orchids that I also have. These lists are by no way complete, as it is a mammoth task identifying such a large array of plants. Where possible, I will provide photos for these pages so that you can see what the plant looks like.

Do you want to know about raising frogs? See a pic of my recently added frog pond. Like to know how to attract birds? It's these creatures that help in pest control in your garden. It must work because I do not habitually spray insecticides, so I also have a good supply of Stick Insects to assist the other wildlife.

Just click on the links in the Site Index to visit any or all of these pages. Then come back and tell me what you think in my Visitors Book.
