The sustainable gardener

The sustainable gardener hi. the Sustainable Gardener (TSG) specialise's in following mother nature. My M.O. About:

Hi. still it was fun to do.

is based on mulching the lawns, composting the greenwaste, adding mulch to stop weeds & establishing plants that are tolerant of the region. I currently look after a number of properties with work ranging from lawn-mowin­g to garden care and all done with sustainabi­lity principles in mind. Services offered:

composting, trimming & shaping, nutrient feeds, lawn-mowing, mulching, waste minimisatio

n. an area of particular interest to me is hedge trimming and i will look to target this market more over the coming months. i have also just completed building a chicken run, which was challenging as it was on a sloping site and i had to navigate in and around existing fruit trees and boundaries. Areas serviced:

Palmerston north, to Paraparaum­u on a fortnightl­y basis with most of my regular work in the Horowhenua­. Availability:

Best to ring me between 7pm & 8pm or leave a message on the mobile as I leave it in the van when I am working at a property owners place; or email me! Whether it is weekly visits to maintain your gardens or lawnmowing or perhaps some one-off work to prepare a property for sale or rent, or even a restoration of a garden; I (and my dog) will be keen to meet with you. Water-blasting, cleaning gutters, cutting up firewood, mulching and some light tree work are some of the other things I currently do. I believe that if we look after the soil then the plants will grow well. I do try to adopt a collective approach to the 40+ properties currently in my portfolio and where possable I encourage the sharing of good stuff amongst property owners. On one occassion an old pool decking from one property was cut up to become a rustic bridge at someone else's home

CHARGE OUT RATES ARE ABOUT$35/hr but can change dependant on early payments, frequency of visits and the work involved

I do have public liability - untouched to date :)

******My mission statement******

****Planning well to grow well***

Hope to hear from you soon.

HI FOLKS. 5 weeks down and my place has never looked so differant. sue went and drove past it as she didnt recognise it :). regular gardens and lawns will be my main tasks for the first couple of weeks, just to clear the backlog. then onto the bigger one-off jobs. hopefully things will settle down into a new normal and we can move forward with some degree of stability. many peeps have suffered so let us all hope, pray and endeavour that no-one is left behind. cheers for now

Lifted a compost bin off a 12 mth pile. Compost looks great. Spread it out and will plant it out next week. The white roots belong to some rose prunings i put into the bin when i made it. Layered them into some soil & hopefully i'll get 9 new roses plants.

Start of the day. Wonder what it will look like at the end?

Found some empty tin troughs and pots; added some budget annuals and screwed to the fence. Bit worried about plants drying out so each one is in a seperate pot (so can be easily replaced) and with water crystals. Really pleased with the end result.
