Professor Myles McGregor-Lowndes, Director of The Australian Centre for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies at Queensland University of Technology shares his organic patch.

 


Papaya in fruit, and before the rains came with the inevitable black spot. All one can do is keep the seaweed extract up and remove any diseased leaves as soon as possible. I kept the possums at bay this year by hanging moth balls around the fruit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My spring crops include inferno chillies, silverbeet, chokos, chinese cabbage, lettuce, Top Dog tomatoes, spring onions, egg plant and broccoli.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Native bees are just so wonderful to increase pollination rates. There are native bee associations where you can find all the necessary information and tips. They don’t sting and so easy to care for once you have the right spot, which in Brisbane is sun until about 10am then light shade.
