Okay, let’s admit it, gardening can be expensive! For those of us who do what we do for the love (and not the money), there ain’t always that much cash to spare at the end of a pay week! But, fear not! The SGA Super Saver Fairy has been on the case, and has sussed out a whole host of cheap and cheerful solutions for those of us with tiny budgets, but big backyard visions! Get into it here.

Is there anything that says Aussie backyard more than the sound of frogs, croaking gently in the evening summer breeze (okay, maybe backyard cricket, thongs, stubbies and an Esky say Aussie backyard as well)? Our precious native frogs are croaking at a rapid rate, and they seriously need our help. The first in a new series on Habitat Gardening, we look at creating habitat for Kermit and friends... in our very own backyards! Hop in here!

Okay, so we all have our tomatoes in by now, so it’s time to plant their greatest companion in meals and in the garden…..Basil!

Get all the grow-how here.

Native Galls are a lot like pimples: they can be unsightly, they pop up at the most inconvenient times (and often in inconvenient locations), they bother us, we’ve all had them, and we are not always sure what causes them! But, just like pimples, Native Galls are not life threatening, and are often a sign of some really interesting activity occurring in your natty native plant. Read all about them in this months Larvae Life.
