Nah that sounds great! It would only be spammy if you were making us buy a pdf or sign up to an email list. Sharing pictures with helpful tips here is exactly what I want to see.

Do you have a press? It will help get them even and flat. Mine turn out cakey with just a rolling pin

Wow this looks great! Nice work 😊

Remember when reddit made fun of 9gag for the watermarked memes?! History doesn’t repeat but it sure does rhyme

I want to give it the bread crust tappies! Looks yum 😊

That’s pretty special

So cute! Do you get a lot of them around?

Your garden looks beautiful! I would be stoked if i was your neighbour

Could also be the stress from moving and pruning. They’ll probably look better after a day or two with their regular watering routine

Yus! There are soooo many of them. So soft. Such sharp claws

They are an invasive pest here so I didn’t so much buy it as I did drive-by it 👀 jokes it was as humane as pest removal to save our native flora and fauna can be.

I will! I have to finish up a few more projects but end of winter i should have the time to spin up all the wool i have been hoarding haha. I also have a bag of possum i want to blend in

Gorgeous colour way! I love how warm all those shade of orange look together 10/10 would make cozy socks.

I spin as well but I’m not a professional or anything, just a girl with a wheel and some woolly friends

I love the wooden slats at the bottom. Do you find they get slippy at all?

I’ve been wanting to make one of these! Is there any fire risk? I’m worried about accidentally burning down our garden 🥲

Kia ora neighbour!

Sounds like you’ve got a big project aye? Looking forward to hearing more about it!

Gorse is a fine nursery crop and a nitrogen fixer but you can always cut and paste with herbicide that runs through it’s roots and degrades quickly so the soil remains safe for planting other things as it rots. It’s such a pain (literally) to have around it won’t get shaded out for a decade. At least the ones around the houses and publicKanuka and manuka make great nursery crops as well. The stockings required for a good reforestation project gets so expensive I really recommend looking into the grants. You can always go back through and plug in some food crops later on. I’m going to inoculate ours with some edible native fungi once they form a good canopy.

Every gardener kills a few plants in their time. Keep on keeping on! The beauty of natives is they have evolved to grow exactly where you are and will thrive with little to no care from you. They are a great confidence builder. Ask around your community garden shop for what works best in your specific area as sometimes the internet recommends something for outside your specific microclimate.

Me! We’ve reforested the sides of our ridge with about 12000 native plants. They are a couple years old now so slowly popping up but we’ve already noticed an increase in our birds/manu, especially tui who love the pohutukawa and harakeke

I naturalist is probably better for identification as it has the location option and a heap of fungi connoisseurs waiting to ID

The shape of the leaf with the water is very cute.
