    These Yucca's can be very invasive especially after flowering.
    They ARE an impresive looking plant though and they tend to thrive on neglect But when they start to get away from you they are a real bastard to remove especially the spikey verieties (which is most of them).

    There are Non spikey verieties available which are much easier to manage

    Aside from growing a bit taller these have not spread out much since we bought the place. I suspect that the Yass climate is not all that much to their liking.

    EnduraSeal Garden Tap

    Hello All,

    Has anyone else been using the EnduraSeal dual garden tap from Bunnings? How have you found the EnduraSeal garden tap's performance? I just bought a couple after a having another el-cheapo garden tap fail last night.

    Leeann said she could not get one of the garden taps to turn off completely. I had a go at tightening it a bit more - however, it kept right on dripping. So, I replaced the washer. I was going to re-seat the tap however it did not look like it had much material thickness to play with. Of course the new washer did not change things... it still dripped.

    Hopefully with its ball-valve style of operation the EnduraSeal garden tap will solve future water drip issues. Plus, the tap's dual system allowed me to fit a pressure reducer to the second outlet so a drip-line can be run without having to disconnect the garden hose.

    I’ve had these for years without a problem.

    Just finished jarring up a heap of olives that I picked from our tree this year.
    6 weeks in brine and they are good to go now

    Hi all, does anyone have a proven cure for eliminating stringy green algae? I have tried three different ‘natural’ products over the past year which at best has had mixed results. I have a few small ponds and some are suffering more than others but all are getting worse and two have no issues at all.

    Have lost two this way so far. I can't complain really as, whatever's enjoying them doesn't start on another until the one being eaten is completely finished.

    I pruned 5 wheelbarrow loads out of my lime tree....more to go yet.

    This tree is the most prolific growing fruit tree I have ever seen.

    I put cartons out the front with a sign "free limes" which locals used up. I sent bags into workplaces. I gave a large carton to a charity.

    Last season I thrashed it to a bare frame, this season its back .....unreal.
