Pretty in Pink!
Brighten up your garden with these stunning display of flowers all summer long. Prolific bloomer which keeps flowering during summer until early autumn. Also great for cut flowers.
Height between 90cm - 110cm
For a best result, plant at least 2 -3 tubers of the same variety together to create a mass of bushy plants.
Plant 5 - 10cm deep, and plenty mulch on top to keep the tubers secure.
Don't water them until sprouts come out. They don't need a lot of water when the sprouts are less than 20cm to prevent tubers from rot. Water them 2 - 3 times a week. Increase the amount of water gradually when the plants start growing bigger.
Deadhead flowers to promote more flowering.
Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

3-tier home-made worm farm (wooden) ($40)
This is an awesome little backyard 3-tier worm farm. (Start with one tier, when full, add the second, then the third. Always feed only the top tier.)
I made this from wood as I didn't want a big plastic thing in my backyard. It works great. Ideal for a domestic garden.
For an extra $10 I'll give you some starting mix with worms.
Pick up from Rangiora.
(I'm selling because I've up-scaled to a much bigger set-up.)
