In Your Garden<br />
February in your garden<br />
From Irene Turner<br />
Keep up the water to the plants, watering in the<br />
cool of the night or morning. Mulch where you<br />
can.<br />
Now is the time to plant vegetables for winter<br />
harvesting.<br />
Look out for fruit fly – if your fruit fly traps are<br />
full, you may need to spray your fruit trees with<br />
Lebaycide.<br />
Lightly prune your roses and give them a good<br />
feed of rose fertiliser to produce more flowers<br />
for Autumn.<br />
Vegetable Seeds:<br />
Cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli & Brussels<br />
sprouts. They need soil containing plenty of<br />
compost and well rotted animal manure, also a<br />
light dressing of lime before planting. Soon as<br />
the plants are growing, give a regular feed of<br />
liquid fertilizer or weak tea from chicken<br />
manure or cow manure that have soaked in a<br />
bin full of water.<br />
Seeds of carrot, parsnip, celery, kohlrabi,<br />
lettuce, parsley, radish & turnip can also be<br />
sown.<br />
Flowers:<br />
You can plant now for winter flowering<br />
seedlings of pansy, viola, stocks, poppies &<br />
alyssum. Also calendula, carnation,<br />
polyanthus, larkspur, linaria, snapdragon,<br />
statice & verbena.<br />
Bulbs:<br />
Bulbs for spring flowering can be planted now.<br />
Tulip bulbs need to be placed in your vegetable<br />
crisper in your fridge for 1 month prior to<br />
planting.<br />
You can grow bulbs that flower in late Summer<br />
& early Autumn – lillium, dahlia, naked lady,<br />
pineapple lily & crocus.<br />
Blood lilies (haemanthus, Scadoxus spp.) so<br />
called for their blood red flowers, also flower on<br />
bare stems.<br />
Naked ladies (amaryllis belladonna) put up a<br />
long stem and flower, and then produce the<br />
leaves. Naked ladies may survive in an old<br />
garden long after other plants have died.<br />
When planting naked ladies, which have a<br />
bulb as big as a large potato, select a sunny<br />
spot with well drained soil. This goes for all the<br />
bulbs.<br />
Jacobean lilies<br />
(sprekelia<br />
formossissima) usually<br />
flower with their leaves<br />
in Summer.<br />
Pineapple lily<br />
(eucomis autumnal)<br />
is a tall striking<br />
Summer flowering<br />
bulb suitable for a<br />
range of climates.<br />
Pineapple-like tufts<br />
grow on top of each<br />
column of flowers.<br />
Stems can grow from 30cm to almost 1m tall,<br />
and have many star-shaped white, pale<br />
yellow, green or purple flowers clustered up a<br />
stout stem. The flowers appear at the same<br />
time as the green wavy-edged leaves.<br />
Dahlias should be producing buds now and<br />
flowering from February to March. They may<br />
need more tying up the stakes as they grow.<br />
They like a well drained spot; feed now to help<br />
the growing flowers. #Dahlia tubers contain a<br />
sugar called Atlantic Starch; and prior to the<br />
discovery of insulin, this sugar was given to<br />
diabetics to help them metabolise<br />
carbohydrates.<br />
Black Spot Fungicide<br />
Place one litre of full cream or the equivalent<br />
of powdered milk in a mixing bowl.<br />
Add one teaspoon of bicarbonate soda and<br />
one litre of water.<br />
Add a pinch of Condy’s Crystals and mix.<br />
Use diluted as a spray.<br />

New technology helps fight old enemy in Tablelands LHPA<br />
Remote camera technology is helping the Tablelands LHPA rangers in their efforts to protect local<br />
livestock from wild dog attacks.<br />
With camera technology now more affordable and sophisticated than ever, a new generation of<br />
rangers are using remote digital cameras to assist them trapping wild dogs, combined with the<br />
traditional skills and cunning used by dog trappers.<br />
Goulburn-based Tablelands LHPA ranger Grant Eccles says he is already seeing the benefits of<br />
the camera technology after setting up a motion activated camera on a property which had<br />
experienced wild dog attacks on livestock.<br />
“We were able to determine that two dogs were involved in the sheep slaughter, that they were<br />
crossbred dogs with similar markings (most likely litter mates), and over several days the camera<br />
recorded the dogs using a regular path,” Mr Eccles said.<br />
“In the past, we would have baited a large area around the killing location and assumed our job<br />
was done when the baits were taken with dog footprints nearby.<br />
“In this case, however, the camera recorded the bait being taken by a fox, with the dog prints left<br />
during a cursory inspection of the bait station – so we knew we had to change our strategy to trap<br />
the wild dogs.<br />
At the northern end of the district Josh Parr, Tablelands LHPA ranger based in Bathurst, has used<br />
the digital cameras to locate a breeding pair of wild dogs with eight pups.<br />
“If you rush in when the first young dog is sighted without assessing the whole situation, you risk<br />
dispersing the dogs,” Mr Parr explained.<br />
“The camera findings lead to a better planned and coordinated operation, which in this instance<br />
allowed us to completely eliminate the problem.”<br />
LHPA rangers in all areas are keen to work with landholders to combat wild dog problems.<br />
Landholders are urged to report any wild dog attacks or sightings to their local LHPA office.<br />

Targeted pig control success in Tablelands LHPA<br />
Feral pig numbers have been reduced across 10,000 hectares of private land east of Taralga as<br />
part of a strategic control program in the Tablelands Livestock Health and Pest Authority.<br />
The control project was a joint effort between the Tablelands LHPA, the Hawkesbury Nepean<br />
Catchment Management Authority and 20 landholders on properties between Bannaby and the<br />
Wombeyan Caves.<br />
Tablelands LHPA ranger, Grant Eccles says that while the project involved controlling all feral<br />
animals in the region, feral pigs were the main target.<br />
“As this area has a relatively low pig population, the aim of the control work was to ensure we<br />
maintain the low-density numbers, as pig populations have the potential to double in a year,” Mr<br />
Eccles said.<br />
“The project accounted for 27 feral pigs over the past six months, most of which were trapped<br />
using grain for bait. This will result in reducing the pig population and interrupting their breeding<br />
cycle, which will minimise their impact on primary production and conservation areas.<br />
“We also employed the use of a contract trapper who caught six wild dogs in the Taralga and<br />
Wombeyan Caves region.”<br />
Mr Eccles says there were enormous benefits in taking a coordinated approach to controlling pest<br />
animals. “Rangers, CMA officers and landholders worked together to implement consistent and<br />
widespread pest animal control in the Taralga area, which is the best approach for both control<br />
and cost effectiveness,” Mr Eccles said.<br />
“The cooperation of the 20 local landholders was vital to the success of the project – we wouldn’t<br />
have been able to run the project without their support and involvement.<br />
“While it is ultimately all landholders’ responsibility to control pest animals on their land, the LHPA<br />
assisted landholder efforts by working with the Hawkesbury Nepean CMA to source additional<br />
funding and resources to implement a wider control program.”<br />
Hawkesbury Nepean CMA<br />
catchment coordinator, Aaron<br />
Smith says the reduction in<br />
feral pig and wild dog numbers<br />
in these areas will greatly<br />
benefit the biodiversity of the<br />
region, as well as local<br />
landholders and the broader<br />
community.<br />
“Pigs are highly destructive<br />
animals, they trample and<br />
uproot wetlands and soils,<br />
feed on crops and pasture and<br />
they damage farm<br />
infrastructure including fences<br />
and dams. They also carry<br />
diseases which threaten both<br />
native and farm animals,” Mr<br />
Smith said.<br />
