Aged Forest Mulch  | Dynamic Tree Solutions

Aged Forest Mulch is a natural material that decays over time. Unlike fresh mulch, it doesn’t drain nitrogen from the soil, making it safe to use in and on top of the soil. It enhances the soil and has  a richer color as well as finer texture, making your garden look polished. For more information  you can contact us.

Garden Bed in Parklands

By having a distinct garden bed in the parklands area, there is an opportunity to populate the space with plants native to the area. This is key not only to the ecological restoration of a place, but also in the respecting and embracing of First Nations culture that thrived off of these native plants.

A staple of this garden bed will be the installation of cabbage tree palms. The leaves from this plant can be used to weave baskets and other practical items, an activity that can be lead by First Nations elders in the space.

These can range from $60 to $600 depending on the size, so if we were to install these along a 35m garden bed, with 5 metres between the trunks we can install 7. At the mid-point of the price range ($330), we can estimate approximately $2500 for this project.

Another native plant in this bed will be birds nest ferns as they are cheap and relatively hardy. If we budget for 20 of these plants at approximately $15 each that will total $300.

Another plant to be used is a tulipwood tree that has colourful fruits and thrives in a subtropical climate. The cost of each tree at a young stage is $20 so to budget for 8 trees would bring the total to $160.

These mixed with other native plants will help to bring native wildlife to the area and will harken back to the rainforest roots of the region. Brisbane City Council have a program where they provide native plants for residential properties so it could be possible to work with them to resource plants at a reduced rate. Due to the amount of native plants required to populate the garden bed however, $1000 will be dedicated to the other plants that aren't explicitly outlined here.

‌The planned dimensions for the garden bed is 35x5m, so the perimeter required to fence is 80m. Ideally, the edging around the garden bed would be made out of reclaimed timber but in the event that the required material isn't available, the required materials will come to $1400 for a basic solution.

‌To top off the garden, a coloured mulch will be used. The required amount of mulch sits around 17.5 m3, but even when using a company with a 20m3 minimum order, the price of mulch is minimal, coming in at $670 to do the garden bed with excess.

‌With all of this considered, the final cost of the installation of this garden bed is approximately $6030, not including labour.

For a rough estimate at labour costs, we will allocate a $50/hr wage, assume the project will take 4 days with 8 hours a day and will require a 5 man team, the wages will come to $8000. To account for variations in any of those aspects, an allocation of $10000 will be made to the cost of labour for the garden bed, bringing the final cost of the project $16030.

Jerry is north of Brisbane to visit a home gardener who has built a remarkable food garden over a decade, that enabled her to avoid food shopping for an entire year. Subscribe 🔔 http://ab.co/GA-subscribe

Around 15 years ago Sonia and her partner Rob decided they wanted to start building a food garden. “We never did a plan. We just did it bit by bit. We based it on convenience; we walk here so let’s plant here. It just evolved over time.”

In 2019, Sonia set out on a remarkable challenge to eat 100% of her diet from her garden. “It was just to see if I could do it.”

“I did go to bed hungry a couple of times, but only a couple. It was challenging at times. I really missed bread, but it was really amazing the connection I felt to the garden. I’d love to do it again one day. Especially now that I have honey!”

Growing enough food to live off is a huge achievement, and the fruit trees here would have helped immensely. This area holds a litany of temperate, subtropical and tropical fruit trees; loquat, wampis, bananas, citrus, mulberry and peaches to name just a few. The food forest understory is edible too, with smaller cover crops like pepino and nasturtium.

Sonia has a rare passionfruit species to offer Jerry to try. “It’s a Japanese hard-shelled passionfruit (Passiflora maliformis). You crack the shell with a hammer like a nut, and the flesh is a really creamy passionfruit flavour.”

Nearby, Sonia has an entire area of the garden dedicated to native food plants. Here you’ll find native nutmeg (Myristica insipida, ground kernel used as spice), Fraser Island Apple (Acronychia imperforate, small sweet yellow fruits), white aspen (Acronychia oblongifolia, aromatic white fruit with a pine/mango flavour). She points out the native mulberry (Pipturus argenteus) as her favourite.

Adjacent is an area that Sonia has converted from annual crops into perennial, ornamental natives. Since taking up beekeeping (both stingless and European), Sonia’s been conscious about including more year-round flowering plants in her garden, and to this end, has callistemon, banksia and grevillea planted to help out her growing collection of hives.

Sonia’s not only managing to line her own belly, she’s providing a resource for her community. Out the front of their place she’s set up a stall selling her excess produce, and it’s become very well known in the community. The honesty-based payment system has been such a success, it’s funding Sonia’s holidays, and she feels like people may be putting in extra money - such is the appreciation for her produce.

“We had hard clay at first. It was terrible. We get free mulch from the tip and we have a big trailer. We’ve put down about 150 loads of mulch, and the soil’s improved.” Also enlisted in the soil-improvement effort is a compost bin painted like a pig. “We call her Gloria the compost pig. When she’s full we say ‘it’s time for her to spill her guts.’“

Sonia’s built an impressive food garden in her backyard and achieved something most only dream of by living off it. Her can-do attitude echoes Edmund Hilary and shows the power of starting with what you have, where you are and working bit by bit.

Most Effective Manners To Mulch Your Garden!!!

Using organic mulch in your garden is one among the simplest, easiest and budget-friendly belongings you can do to worry for your plants and trees. However, not all mulch is made equally and there are some definite do’s and don’ts when it involves using mulch. Here we answer a number of the foremost common questions on the way to effectively use mulch for optimum results.

What exactly is ‘mulching’?

Mulching is essentially applying a layer of fabric around your plants and trees to hide the surface of the soil.

Are there differing types of mulch?

There’s an outsized number of options available when it involves mulch. Mulching products fall under two broad categories: inorganic and organic.

Some samples of organic mulch include – wood chips, grass clippings, leaves, straw, bark or sawdust. samples of inorganic mulch would be anything artificial such as: gravel, pebbles, weed mat, fabrics and newspaper.

Both types are used for various reasons and both will discourage the expansion of weeds, however inorganic mulch obviously can’t break down and help improve the soil quality like organic mulches can. Choose mulch that supports what you would like it to try to do and therefore the look you’re going for.

What Are the advantages Of Using Mulch

So what are the best reasons to mulch? There are so many! When applied correctly, gardens that are mulched generally have less weeds, are more drought-resistant, are better ready to resist pests, require less watering and are generally healthier. Mulch helps to manage the temperature of the soil, adds to the nutritional content and appears and, (depending on the sort of mulch used) smells fantastic. Convinced? you ought to be!

How Do I Mulch Effectively?

Using mulch is astounding for your garden – when done correctly. Here are our top tips for effective mulching.

Choose the proper sort of mulch for your plants or trees. If you’re unsure, ask your local Arborist or nursery for advice.

Remove any weeds before you apply.

Don’t overdo it! One among the most important mistakes people make when mulching is applying for an excessive amount of, which may actually be detrimental to the health of the plant or tree. Generally speaking, a layer of 5 – 10 centimetres is enough to impede sunlight penetration without harbouring pests.

Do not pile the mulch right up against the trunk of your tree or the stems of plants. This will suffocate the plant and cause disease and pest infestation. make certain to leave some space for the plant to breathe.

Try to refresh organic mulch a minimum of once a year. You’ll get the simplest results if you dig the old mulch into the soil to completely decompose before applying the new layer.

By using differing types of organic mulch you provide a sort of different nutrients to the soil, so mix it up where possible (always with the requirements of your particular plants and trees in mind).

Jerry discovers a program that is transforming one of Australia’s most invasive tree species into valuable nesting habitat for native animals. Subscribe 🔔 http://ab.co/GA-subscribe

Jerry's at Salvin Creek Park in inner Brisbane. It’s an important bushland reserve, home to remnant vegetation communities, eucalyptus forest and local wildlife. Being just 7km from the CBD, and fringed on all sides by suburbia, the reserve faces a lot of different pressures. One of these pressures is weeds. We’re here to find out how one weed, in particular, is being creatively reused to create an invaluable habitat resource for our native animals.

Stefan Hattingh is an ecologist at Bulimba Creek Catchment Coordinating Committee, who help care for the site. He says invasive camphor laurel trees are a big problem. “They were planted in Brisbane because they make amazing wood. Now they’re all over Brisbane because the berries are spread by birds. Particularly in creek lines and gullies.”

Native to Asia, camphor laurel (Cinnamomum camphora) is a large, rapidly growing tree to 30 metres in size. It’s become a widespread problem in both NSW and Qld, where it’s a declared noxious weed. You can tell you’re dealing with camphors as the leaves have a signature scent when crushed; the tree exudes an oil to prevent insect attack.

Stefan says part of the reason they’re such a bad weed is they’re allelopathic, meaning they deploy chemicals to stop other plants growing around them. “You will see around them nothing is growing. Even the falling leaves will smother and kill small plants. They’re very invasive. About the only thing that can use them is birds, who spread the seeds.”

Stefan says removing the camphors is a big undertaking. “Normally we cut them down and chip them into mulch.” For a 20 metre tree, this isn’t a small job. “The footprint and cost to remove them, it’s a lot.”

Steve Collom is an arborist, and specialises in what he calls “conservation arboriculture.” “I’ve always had a passion for conservation.” His work has seen him become the go-to for creating “habitat trees”; carving out nesting hollows for animals in the wood of dead or compromised trees that would otherwise be sent to the chipper. “Overall we’ve done over 2500 carved hollows.”

“300 species of fauna rely on hollows in Australia. But we don’t have any species that can create their own hollows. We tend to rapidly remove and prune any trees that would be reaching hollow bearing potential. It creates a high demand for hollows in these species. The most perfect, picturesque tree in terms of form is often the most barren-nothing can use it. The reasons a tree will fail in some way in the environment, is to produce hollows.”

Natural hollows can take hundreds of years to form, but Steve describes his work as “fast-forwarding this process, you go from several hundred years to 30 minutes.”

Steve has now installed over 10 nesting hollows into camphor laurels at White’s Hill, and they’re being closely monitored for any tenants.

The trees are ringbarked at the base to kill them, and then the canopy is reduced heavily for safety; to stop large limbs breaking off. Sections of trunk are carved out, hollowed and screwed back onto the tree, forming a lid over an internal cavity perfect for a first owner looking to dip their toes in the market.

Steve has built three different kinds of hollows at the site, catering to three different demographics; small parrots, gliders, and microbats. “The internal shape of the hollow is key, and the entrance dimension decides what can get in there.”

Steve and Stefan will continue to monitor the new homes with wildlife cameras to see who moves in. “Usually we remove hollows, or the potential for hollows with a quick blip with the chainsaw. This is a way of reworking that” says Steve. Stefan says he’s thrilled with the job Steve’s done. “He’s turned a problem tree into a real resource.”
