Newbie from Bendigo

Hi all, new to forum and sort of new to gardening. Gardening has been an interest for a number of years but not until recent that its become more of a passion. We have 20 aces of heaverly tree"d grey box Forrest. Slowly starting to develop gardens and back yard stuff for the kids. Soil quality is very poor as it rock hard dirt with sandstone rock through out. I have started growing from seed some grevilleas, banksias, westerias, bird of paradise, kangaroo paws, wattles and bottle brush plus about 13 different fern spore hot houses. Because of the poor soil and large scale of possible garden beds I have 6 large bins to compost horse poo.
Hope to talk to some of you soon and share some ideas.
Thanks for reading, Brad

Hi Brad, and welcome!

Have fun here and don't forget to post photos of your progress...it is amazing to re-visit them in a few months time and see what a difference you've made.

Hi Brad looking forward to progress pics and love to hear about what plants you've grown from seed.

Hi Brad. Sounds like you will have your work cut out for you (no pun intended there!) re: your soil. Sounds like an exciting project though to get it all established with your new plantings. I am also very interested in seeing pics of your progress. Make sure you take some before shots though..I didn't and I am sorry now, as you do tend, over time, to forget how it was before you started developing the garden (no matter how big or how small).
