How lovely to see the good turnout to a delightful morning in the garden of Gaylene and Dick Coppa.
Suella updated us with their invitation to demonstrate how to make hot compost to interested members, in their garden. So far, successful.
Guest speaker, Sue Robbie, from the Beerwah Co-op, said the business, in one form or another had been going for about 80 years.
Sue gave an informative talk on growing citrus. The best positions and preparation for planting. When to water and the best fertiliser to use. Organic products are available when needed for pest and disease control.
Sue handed out free samples and a gift voucher to all members as well as prizes, potting mix and a grow bag containing lettuce. Many questions were asked.
Thanks to Sue for such an informative presentation.
