00:42Hello, and welcome
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined11
undefined:undefined12
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedyou don't have to prepare anything -
00:56just sit back and relax.
00:58Here's what we've dug up for you.
01:03I'm catching up
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined19
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedgardeners around -
01:15worms.
01:16And you'll meet an incredible artist
01:20whose intricate works are inspired
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined25
undefined:undefined
Situated roughly in the middle
:undefined
undefined:undefinedMornington Peninsula
01:45is rural Moorooduc,
01:47home to wineries,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined32
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwith this actual site?
02:04My mother and father
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined36
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwe're going to set up our lives."
02:15After leaving her childhood home
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined41
undefined:undefined42
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto this farm?"
02:33She wanted to stay here,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined46
undefined:undefined47
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedappreciate this lifestyle?
02:50It's funny - I'm not sure
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined51
undefined:undefined52
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthemselves, so they do notice that.
03:03So, April, what do you like
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined56
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto the vegie garden.
03:14Are you allowed to go and pick
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined60
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhen I finish on the trampoline,
03:25there's the peach tree
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined65
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand apples, pears, and cherries.
03:47But this is mainly
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined69
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmost of this crop with the chooks.
03:59In hindsight, I would have preferred
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined73
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit's very seasonal,
04:16and when we grow whatever we need to
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined78
undefined:undefined79
undefined:undefined80
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin the kitchen,
04:25it's just a waste of space.
04:27So, realistically now,
04:28we just really grow the stuff
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined86
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfrom the garden, it's so sweet.
04:42Wonderful.
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined92
undefined:undefined93
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedstraight in her lunch.
04:49And do the kids
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined102
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedat practicality.
05:07I think long, narrow beds...
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined107
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedinto the middle...
05:17And I thought
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined113
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedgardens are set up like that.
05:29Yeah.
05:30And it's to do with being practical.
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined118
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinednot cooking with fresh herbs.
05:41The flavour's amazing.
05:42We have our staples right
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined123
undefined:undefined124
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedif we're making gin,
05:54but of course we're not.
05:55We're using it for flavouring.
05:57When we make marinades
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined131
undefined:undefined132
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedare actually grown overseas,
06:08so to have our own like this,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined136
undefined:undefined137
undefined:undefined138
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhat I plant.
06:20So it really has to be hardy,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined145
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedBees and the beneficial insects.
06:40That's right.
06:41I realised how important it was
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined151
undefined:undefined152
undefined:undefined153
undefined:undefined154
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedThey are pretty happy.
07:16I think they get all the scraps
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined163
undefined:undefined164
undefined:undefined165
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin the local agricultural show.
07:29Ooh, you're a gold winner, then,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined169
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfrom April through to my mum,
07:43and I think that
07:44the fact that we are all
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined175
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedliving any other way.
08:06Can I compost my manky old pumpkin
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined181
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedor a cold compost bin, then no,
08:27but you can add material
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined185
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcalled oregano syriacum
08:48with a more peppery flavour.
08:50And its leaves are used
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined193
undefined:undefined194
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedonce established.
09:06Why are they called eucalyptus?
09:08Well, this one's for my budda,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined201
undefined:undefined202
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwill peel away,
09:26and out will come the flower.
09:27An absolutely beautiful specimen.
09:30Eucalyptus -
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined210
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin the bathtub.
09:50It came to me that a bathtub could be
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined215
undefined:undefined216
undefined:undefined217
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcommercial worm farms you can buy,
10:11and there's a few versions
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined221
undefined:undefined222
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedoption that I love
10:28is one made from these things.
10:30They're recycled polystyrene boxes
10:33that you can pick up
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined229
undefined:undefined230
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedat the bottom of one of the sides,
10:52as close to the base as possible.
10:55Make it just big enough
10:57so a piece of pipe or hose
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined238
undefined:undefined239
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat pipe acts like an air funnel
11:19and helps bring more air
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined243
undefined:undefined244
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedor geotextile.
11:50Next comes what's called the bedding.
11:52It's a mixture of organic materials.
11:55I'm using shredded newspaper
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined253
undefined:undefined254
undefined:undefined255
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis ready for your worms.
12:24Did you know that there's around
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined260
undefined:undefined261
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto get back to the soil,
12:43and they're slow to multiply.
12:48The types of worms
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined268
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwho already has a worm farm.
13:06Oh, that is a worm brulee!
13:09The worms go into the top box
13:11and, soon enough, they'll start
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined275
undefined:undefined276
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfor a couple of days,
13:27then add some food.
13:29Just a little bit to start with -
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined281
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof crushed egg shells every month,
13:44or just sprinkle on
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined285
undefined:undefined286
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedif you don't put enough food out,
14:05well, it'll be gone in a few days,
14:07so you just need to adjust
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined294
undefined:undefined295
undefined:undefined296
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis add some shredded paper,
14:28some dried grass
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined303
undefined:undefined304
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwill fill up with worm castings.
14:46There's lots of different techniques
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined308
undefined:undefined309
undefined:undefined310
undefined:undefined311
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe worms have left behind,
15:06and this becomes my harvest.
15:08Alternatively, you could use
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined316
undefined:undefined317
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin the new dining room and bedroom,
15:29you can head down here and harvest
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined324
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbefore you know it.
15:47They're chock full of nutrition
15:49and pretty much the best
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined331
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin many parts of the country,
17:37lots of us are starting to plan
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined336
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbut how do you choose?
17:53Well, Millie reckons that a great
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined340
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin a little town called Newstead,
18:16their supply is a little more local.
18:27Meet Frances Cincotta,
18:29a self-taught plants woman
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined347
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
I think if people grow
:undefinedthese things in their gardens,
18:50they get to know
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined352
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbeing played
18:59and that tune is much more alive
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined357
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedhelp defend that.
19:17Frances, this is a little bit, for
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined362
undefined:undefined363
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedup through the shrubs, to the trees.
19:36But my main interest
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined367
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedare worried about wildfires,
19:49so I'm just trying to show people
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined374
undefined:undefined375
undefined:undefined376
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedyou often see it with ironbarks -
20:12you get the black trunk of the iron
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined383
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis black-eyed Susan,
20:31'cause it's got black
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined388
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedHakea decurrens.
20:47It is certainly prickly, isn't it?
20:48I imagine good bird habitat.
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined394
undefined:undefined395
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit's easy to spot the seeds.
21:02It is easy to spot the seeds.
21:04So I do usually wear gloves
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined401
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfrom the bush, they will dry out.
21:22They have no choice.
21:23They've been disconnected
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined408
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedto open up nicely.
21:43You can just help it along
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined413
undefined:undefined414
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedYeah.
22:00I always think that's like
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined419
undefined:undefined420
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit might take four weeks.
22:21And so I notice you're going
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined428
undefined:undefined429
undefined:undefined430
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe bigger the seed,
22:39the higher the chance that
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined434
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof the seed covering mix,
22:57which you'll notice
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined441
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlovely fine potting mix.
23:10And just water it in.
23:12And you can put them
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined446
undefined:undefined447
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedeverything has to have a label.
23:30When people come to your nursery,
23:32should they come armed
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined452
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedor where they're revegetating.
23:44Is their property
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined457
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin their gardens is simple.
24:04I'm always encouraging people.
24:06No secrets here.
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined464
undefined:undefined465
undefined:undefined466
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof nutrients to produce fruit.
24:34Now, over time, a citrus tree
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined470
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis rejuvenate it
24:46by potting it up with some new mix.
24:48And this is in a small pot, so I'm
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined476
undefined:undefined477
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe flowers off this lime
25:03is 'cause I don't want it
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined482
undefined:undefined483
undefined:undefined484
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis get it out of this one.
25:34This plant has really filled out
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined488
undefined:undefined489
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedunder stress.
25:46So the next thing I have to do
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined493
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedare shallow-rooted trees,
26:15and they don't actually like to grow
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined500
undefined:undefined501
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin pots at the same level
26:33as they were in the last pot.
26:34And if it's a grafted citrus tree,
26:36make sure that that graft union
26:38is a couple of inches
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined508
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedabove the lip of the pot.
27:04What will happen is when you water,
27:06the water will just
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined516
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda good bit of moisture.
27:22And as far as fertiliser goes,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined520
undefined:undefined521
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfor the plant
27:38is put in a little bit of kelp mix,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined527
undefined:undefined528
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbig and strong and healthy,
27:58I'm going to come back,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined532
undefined:undefined533
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedone of his very favourite plants.
28:24And we get straight
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined537
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon the potential
28:46of the outdoor spaces...
28:49..than the bricks and mortar
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined544
undefined:undefined545
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthoughtfully designed it
29:06at some point in the past.
29:08It was very overgrown,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined550
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedall that thought into the garden.
29:22Hi, Alison. Hi, Cormac.
29:24Hi, Josh.
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined556
undefined:undefined557
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsuited to exposed conditions.
29:50Over the years,
29:51we filmed many segments
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined563
undefined:undefined564
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwent through a different phase.
30:08It did.
30:09Initially, it was rented out to an
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined571
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof the garden when we moved in.
30:26We needed to spend
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined576
undefined:undefined577
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwould stop by and tell us,
30:38"Did you know this house
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined582
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedaround the house.
30:55As you know, guys,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined586
undefined:undefined587
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand midstorey in,
31:08which has established really well.
31:10But I have noticed that
31:11what was originally
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined594
undefined:undefined
Yeah:undefinedof getting a bit of Ireland
31:22back into our little house here
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined598
undefined:undefined599
undefined:undefined600
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis great.
31:36You know, you can see
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined604
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey're surviving on their own,
31:45and some are thriving here.
31:47I always loved the back garden,
31:49where we had productive plants
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined613
undefined:undefined614
undefined:undefined615
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis this guy here,
32:12our little dog, Murphy.
32:15I think you might be right.
32:16Originally, I had sub-surface
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined621
undefined:undefined622
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlike this from the dog,
32:31it's not great
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined627
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedsort of repair the patches.
32:43So I think really, here, if you're
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined631
undefined:undefined632
undefined:undefined633
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedYes, it is.
33:02When we first moved into the house,
33:04we were mystified
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined641
undefined:undefined642
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit's dark inside.
33:15But how's it going?
33:17Yeah, going really well.
33:20Yeah, see here, Josh, we've got
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined649
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe drainage layer,
33:35and the collection point
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined653
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe worm farm is helping out
33:46with growing some vegies
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined657
undefined:undefined658
undefined:undefined659
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedgot some strawberries,
34:00and we're establishing some rhubarb
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined663
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhen we moved in.
34:13It had a lot of
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined668
undefined:undefined669
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfor you.
34:32It's not collar rot.
34:34Oh, great!
34:35It's actually just staining
34:37from where I put a sticky band
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined679
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbasically a tacky gel,
35:02which acts as a barrier to stop ants
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined686
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedback to what you've done here.
35:14You can see how it's coming back,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined690
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit hasn't had enough water.
35:28I know this is all being irrigated
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined695
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedaway from the trunk,
35:40more regular watering,
35:42and feed it with trace elements,
35:44which is really important here
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined701
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedGreat!
35:58Well, Alison and Cormac,
36:00I've spent many a day
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined708
undefined:undefined709
undefined:undefined710
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe good foundations for our garden,
36:15so thank you.
36:16My pleasure. I can see
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined715
undefined:undefined716
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthese beautiful flower spikes.
36:45And they've already started
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined722
undefined:undefined723
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda flower spike.
37:00In the bush, not so much
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined727
undefined:undefined728
undefined:undefined729
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfires will come through,
37:19and they'll clean out
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined736
undefined:undefined737
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcool fire here,
37:38but you'd want to get rid
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined741
undefined:undefined742
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcommercial-grade water
37:58that's been smoke-infused,
37:59and water it, water your plant -
38:01the chemicals in the smoke will help
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined753
undefined:undefined754
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbut...there it is there.
38:18You can see all this new growth
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined759
undefined:undefined760
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda little rock down in here,
38:34and, hopefully, as that
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined765
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedmagnificent Xanthorrhoea specimen.
38:54They've set it on fire last year
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined772
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedreally chunky,
39:07but now it's been cleaned up.
39:08You can see
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined777
undefined:undefined778
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtoo much trouble for you
39:19to go through all those things
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined782
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedgardeners have to deal with
39:37and, in your own backyard,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined786
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat's looking for solutions.
39:55JERRY: A weed is simply a plant
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined790
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey can smother pasture
40:10and even harm livestock.
40:15At the Ecosciences Precinct
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined796
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedprincipal entomologist Michael Day.
40:36Michael, biological control
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined800
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineddamage to the environment,
40:48and control means.
40:51Biological control offers
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined805
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand arthropods,
41:04and we also use pathogens
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined810
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin the 1920s and '30s,
41:21and then the Cactoblastis moth
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined816
undefined:undefined817
undefined:undefined818
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedor partially controlled
41:45by biocontrol agents.
41:48So you think you've found a weed
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined827
undefined:undefined828
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda suitable candidate,
42:11how do you check
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined834
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtwo types of trials.
42:27We do choice trials,
42:28where we have our target weed
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined839
undefined:undefined840
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedon that plant over time.
42:44Now, none of this happens
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined845
undefined:undefined846
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedone of our worst cactus species.
42:59And this is bunny ears.
43:01And while it's cute, it is, in fact,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined851
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedor through garden waste.
43:15These plants here,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined855
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedYeah, it's a very serious weed.
43:33Where to from here
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined860
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat still need to be managed,
43:49and that will keep us in work
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined867
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof, dispose of it thoughtfully.
44:11This group of plants are sinningias,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined873
undefined:undefined874
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlumpy leaves,
44:30is Sinningia bullata,
44:32and it's probably the best
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined882
undefined:undefined883
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedgarden plants.
44:54Now, most people would remember
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined890
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedbecause they're great plants.
45:18Once in a while, we come across
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined895
undefined:undefined
After I'd sold my business:undefined
undefined:undefinedwith myself,
46:04and thought, "I might just travel
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined900
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof the bus for power,
46:25three great big
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined906
undefined:undefined907
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat I've made.
47:03I travel round in by bus,
47:05and I collected all the originals
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined914
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin Alice Springs,
47:28and its original name was orbifolia,
47:31and I've stuck to that
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined920
undefined:undefined921
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwith horrible prickles,
47:50and I found it growing up
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined926
undefined:undefined927
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof beautiful flowers.
48:02It's gorgeous.
48:08I was a student at Box Hill TAFE.
48:12Art and Design for Embroidery,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined933
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedat the table,
48:26and the idea came.
48:27It was a light-globe moment -
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined939
undefined:undefined940
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat is now in the visitor's centre
48:46at the National Botanic Gardens
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined945
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlots of little sepals.
48:59Each flower has its own little...
49:01..sepals there,
49:04and they're very fine,
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined952
undefined:undefined953
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis observation,
49:25and then it's stitching, and dyeing,
49:28but the observation's the main thing.
49:32The accuracy of the work
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined960
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined

undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI've been making them,
50:04and I'm never able to get them
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined970
undefined:undefined971
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwith dye, and a steady hand.
50:25And then I had to get
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240

51:40I just had one sewing machine
51:42that did straight stitch
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined997
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhere the stitches are going to go
51:59and get very, very accurate.
52:01And that allowed me
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240
undefined:undefined00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,240

53:21and publishing it as a book,
53:22which I want to give away
