Tasmanian waratah (Telopea truncata), the southern most and also the most cold tolerant species in its genus. It is endemic to Tasmania. Also has a yellow form, but I didn't see it.

Tino Carnevale shows how to test the pH of your soil and digs deeper into what it means for your plants. Subscribe 🔔 http://ab.co/GA-subscribe

Healthy plants need healthy soil that can hold and supply the right amount of moisture and nutrients. The pH of soil is the measure of alkalinity or acidity of the soil, or in technical terms, the amount of hydrogen ions present. It can vary depending on where you live or how soil has been managed, and it can affect the type and amount of nutrients plants can access.

Testing Soil pH:

The easiest way to measure your soil pH is to use a pH test kit from your local nursery.

Whilst pH can range from 1 to 14, the kit contains a scale from 2 to 10 which is the range you can find in soil.

Follow the instructions in the kit to collect a soil sample free of rocks and twigs, add the dye and barium powder. The colour will indicate the pH number on the scale.

Testing top tips:

- Test multiple samples from different parts of your garden as the pH can vary

- Wait for dry weather to improve accuracy of results

- Test soil before adding organic matter or minerals

Neutral pH:

A pH close to 7 is ideal for most vegetable gardens as the most important nutrients of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are readily available for the plants to uptake. If the pH is too acidic or alkaline, your vegies may have yellowing leaves or stunted growth and become more susceptible to diseases.

Acidic pH:

Acid-loving plants like waratahs, rhododendrons, blueberries, and camellias prefer pH to be between 5-6.5. Acidic in this case does not mean a pH of 1 or 2, that would be battery acid! The pH scale is logarithmic, which means that there’s a big difference between each number – a pH of 6 is ten times more acidic than a pH of 7.

To acidify soil, add compost, manure, and mulch.

Alkaline pH:

A pH of 7-8 is perfect for brassicas, garlic, spinach, hibiscus, sweet peas and geraniums. All the major elements plus more calcium and magnesium are available. To make soil more alkaline, add dolomite or garden lime to soil. Clay soils will need more added than sandy soils.

Around the country:

There are general patterns of pH around Australia, based on the type of underlying bedrock, rainfall, and agricultural usage. For example, most of Western Australia’s coastal regions tend towards alkaline soil due to limestone; Tasmania’s east coast is dominated by dolerite clays that forms neutral to acidic pH soils; and two-thirds of Queensland’s soils are acidic due to high rainfall. Generally, dry areas are more alkaline as elements in the soil are more stable. Fifty per cent of our agricultural lands have high acidity due to practices like using ammonia-heavy fertilisers.

Crop rotation can also help with ensuring plants get the nutrients they need, or you could try choosing indigenous plants that are suited to your local soils. Keep an eye out for signs of nutrient deficiencies, test your soil, and amend it if needed. And consider choosing plants that are already suited to your soil type and it’s pH to save yourself time and money in the long run!

i am sorta annoyed because a few hours ago i impulsively clicked 'give up' for like, naming sydney suburbs (this isn't all of sydney, btw, imo) and just now i looked through the ones i missed, and SKJFDNGKFG stuff like naremburn, i was gonna put in, but i thought of it when i wasn't at the computer and i forgot... also why did i forget to try N/S/E/W for fairfield, and who knew that it was called SYDNEY olympic park, i was just trying 'olympic park'... also i thought kings cross was a suburb but nah apparently it's all potts point... btw i've never heard of those three suburbs near la perouse (well maybe i've heard chifley before, but maybe not as that suburb) and omG how could i forget bangor and ASHBURY and peakhurst and FUCKING BAULKO... and chipping norton and georges hall and ermington and i knew near telopea there was a suburb that was kinda like a flower (camellia)... also heyyy fucking leonay

but anyway i know fuck all around campbelltown and penrith (or more specifically that bit around willmot (how could i forget WILLMOT btw (but for some reason i remembered hebersham? lol?)), anyway those suburbs are a mystery to me

i'm kinda torn between trying to learn all of these for next time, and feeling like that's cheating for next time so i'm just... not going to, i suppose?? idk? skfjngk

anyway. https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/150455/sydney-suburbs

Ghost of Timor - Location Scouting - Part 2

What to do on my next location scout?

Good evening everybody. As promised here is part two of my Ghost of Timor location scouting insights. In chapter 18 of the book, Alison finally begins to embrace her suppressed desires and makes a naked midnight dash across one of Canberra’s popular parks. Telopea Park is located just a short distance from Alison’s hotel and my (real) place of work. So I took a camera with me one lunch time and…
