Gardening guru Costa Georgiadis shares his tips on everything from what to plant now to how many chooks you can have and what to do if you live in an apartment.
Some of these are quick turnaround and you will be able to start"repeat havesting" within 30-50 days. That is, picking off outer leaves and leaving the rest to continue growing."There's things that we can wait for the full term and there's other things that we can harvest along the way, and those salad greens are a great place to start," Costa said.A lack of space doesn't have to mean a lack of garden, and there is still plenty you can grow.
"Get your celery or your spinach or even your Asian greens, cut them off from the base with about two centimetres or so, then put them on the window sill in a little bit of water," he said. "Things like spring onions — and I've got it going on at the moment with some silverbeet — they'll reshoot and you can literally watch them start growing from the central core.
"Then once they get up a bit and you see little roots you can go out and plant them into the soil and it's just a nice little project."Costa says there's no shortage of online tutorials for sprouts.
