Hi all, I'm in Perth getting conflicting information on growing avacados. Planting In the ground: Some say Dig a big hole add good quality potting mix then plant it in the ground. Others say don't plant them in groung with organic matter use sand well draining soil. Other say use decomposed granite (DG) this is not here in australia one man said in australia we call this cracker dust but that's not true either? Planting In Pots Some say leave it in a pot for a year or 2 for the tree to mature. Sounds like good advice. Then some say use good quality potting mix with sand and perlite. But then i hear the perlite floats to the top when watering. Others say use only sand then fertilizer from the top. Some say use wood chips for potting mix. So I'm really confused here as I've just bought 3 avacado trees a sharwel, a Lamb Gass, and a fuerte and I want the to have the best start. Any advise appreciated Thanks Joe

With heavy clay soil and only visual gardens, before turning it into eadible gardens, I’ve had to remove everything to a blank canvas and start over. Have you had a journey like mine.

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST, THEN DO THE OTHER COURSE MODULES AS THEY APPEAR IN THE FEED. I have been working out how to create course content that involves the members here and provide valuable content for you guys and gals (founding members) along the way. Inside my YouTube account analytics it shows me the most engaged videos and what viewers wanted to watch the most (most valuable sections) I can repurpose all the most valuable content, upload into the feed and we can all have an indepth conversation and you the members can share your concepts, thoughts, ideas and questions in the post adding more value to the course. I will then add it to the composting classroom that has yet to be created. This type of content will be extremely valuable for everyone over time. Please leave your questions and anything else in the comments that would add value here for future readers and those involved in this today! KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE COURSE CONTENT here as it will be released slowly into the feed for you all to engage in before being added to the classroom - thanks for being involved.

I have Loofa sponge seeds for a suprise seed swap success from your garden🥰 I have only ever.planted seeds once many years ago here in Sub tropics. Chickens & wild critters have spread seeds thru my yard, I even get harvests in winter. These plants also grow easily in extreme heat. Overseas gardeners have had success at companion planting along wirh cucumbers to reduce pest pressure I will happily post thru Australia except WA & TAS.. I will post to first 10 "Yes" comments....
