Does a Great Garden Still Need a Lawn?
I feel that many great gardens are enhanced by a lovely lawn but accept that it depends on the style of the garden. Clearly Australia’s water situation has to be considered too and it seems that gardeners planting lawns are conscious of that in selecting their grass type. Some critics will say that lawns are irresponsible in our environment but there are plenty of arguments for lawns and their environmental benefits. We asked some questions and made our own observations on the state of play in the lawn care industry. Leigh Siebler reports.

Potting Mixes - Is quality finally taking over?
I have long been an advocate of quality Potting Mixes and get annoyed when I see pallets of apparently ‘cheap’ mixes being sold particularly during strong spring and autumn trading times.
