PRUNING CITRUS

Pruning citrus can often have folks bamboozled, as they’re often either full of fruit or blossoms. Simon Marshall, landscape designer, permie and pruner to the stars gives us the basics on how, when and why you might think about pruning citrus trees.. There are several reasons why you may want to prune a citrus tree: BREEDING YOUR OWN BACKYARD CHICKENS Practise on non-fertile eggs first. Buy a small, bright LED torch. Wait until evening, and carefully remove the eggs from the incubator or nest. Then, in the dark, shine the light through the rounded end of the egg: it will look clear, with the shape of the yolk showing. If the shell is dark it will be more difficult to see. HOW TO GROW FEIJOA (PINEAPPLE GUAVA) As a frost- tolerant evergreen, the feijoa can use winter rainfall for growth. It is tolerant of drought and poor soil, but will grow faster and produce more fruit with additional water and soil improvement. It can be grown in full sun or partial shade. Feijoa is rarely bothered by pests, although fruit fly can be a problem in some areas. WHEN TO PRUNE FRUIT TREES Winter is a great time to prune your fruit trees. Follow our guide for when and how to prune different fruit trees. There are as many ways to prune fruit trees as there are to skin a cat, so it’s no wonder novice pruners feel a little intimidated at the prospect of hacking away at their beloved deciduous fruit trees with a pair of secateurs. 5 WAYS WITH CITRUS: RECIPES The juice of 10 limes (500ml of juice) 500ml water. 40 large mint leaves, ripped. Place the sugar, water and zest into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Boil for around 30 seconds and then leave to cool. Once cool add the lime juice and bring to the boil once 12 WAYS TO USE KAFFIR LIMES A few weeks ago we posted on our Instagram account and asked people for their tips for how to use kaffir limes. The responses were so great I wanted to share them here. So, here are 12 ways to use kaffir limes and the users who recommended them. Thanks Pipsters! 1. Make a fancy drink @deb.bowen suggests: "As RAISING BACKYARD QUAILS Where to get your backyard quails. Point-of-lay quail hens cost about $7 on Gumtree. They start laying fast – at six to 10 weeks – but rarely live past three years, so you’ll need a succession plan. They almost never go broody, so eggs are hatched in an incubator, although some breeders have had success with a broody bantam chook foster mum. RAW MANDARIN SHRUB RECIPE Pour into a bowl and add the lemon zest, mandarin juice and vinegar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.

refrigerate.
