you will see curling leaves on citrus in commercial wholesale nurseries. Water is regular. It's normally the fertilisers used to grow them doing it. Also, over watering will present differently.

It's gardeners myth that pruning a plant keeps a root system under control. A tree of that size will develop a root system that would be risky. A 5m tree 3m from a slab, sure should be ok. A 10m tree (trimmed or not) you'd want around 6-8m from the slab. That's what I would feel comfortable with. Th...

Oh, I should mention that is bloody a big pear to have so near the house like that. A 10m tree just a few meters from a house, things might not go so well in the near future for the slab.

Munns is an organic based lawn fertiliser. Munns is now owned by Yates. Lawn Beetle as a problem is bollocks. They are beneficial for turf.

I would hope the pool had been modified with large holes cut to ensure drainage. Otherwise it becomes a pool again, or a bog.

Ahhh. That's better. Assuming you want to do this yourself and you are approaching this with limited skills and resources we can do some OK~ish repairs. Well, you'll need to clean both surfaces up. Chip off all the old mortar. Clean with a stiff brush and sugar soap. (A mild acid solution would be b...

Summary: Try not to use drip line under turf. If done, use appropriate means to stop what we put onto lawns from getting into our water we drink. Regular back flow valves will not protect drinking water from fungicides, pesticides, fertilisers and the herbicide required to prevent root intrusion. Ju...

Pulling up the surrounding paving and relaying would be the best advice. For headers/capping around the pool, some use industrial adhesives. What's under these pavers? Why are they loose? Any chance of a pic?

You will need a herbicide called Fusilade or Fusilade Forte. You won't get these herbicides in garden centres. Generally 1ltr is the smallest size available. It's used on golf courses, farms, nurseries, etc to remove grasses from wooded areas or similar. Wont harm trees or shrubs. The opposite of wh...

We have a Dyson V6. Easy to pull apart and clean (as in more than the filters etc.) Batteries can be upgraded with some basic tools to get around 50mins charge. A battery indicator LCD is great too. Cost $5 on eBay. Easy to wire in. Shows you how much charge exists as you use it. Our 15 plus years o...

My reaction when I checkout your tree http://i.imgur.com/PShvpw5.gif Will it be OK? http://i.imgur.com/91ApW1z.gif It's a bit stressed, though the leaves will be dropping soonish. Add some more compost. Use Seasol weekly if you want. It will settle in. If it were in my yard, I'd not be concerned at ...
