on Whirlpool someone else complained the same statement years ago - still nothing got done - when I do see a category about home & garden - its mainly always about Home - but No garden or plants discussion.
You can send me a reply when u find a proper Australian Garden & plant discussion forum - ending in .au
Plant your tomatoes on Melbourne Cup Day.
Pee on your lemon tree (but only if you are male).
My grass has died in like 5 days of this weather. No amount of watering has saved it haha
It will probably grow back after summer; mine does.
@GG57: Yeah it hopefully will. The tree out the front has protected some of it but given its a westerly facing house, the garden gets smacked in the arvo.
We have planted Tomatoes, Rocket, (Passionfruit vine), Sunflowers, Zucchini and also had some Chia Plants.
First time doing it and the Tomatoes came up fairly good:)
Dont pee on your grass, pee on the tree only.
Take Daphnie cuttings on Christmas Day. Works for me.
Sounds sexist.
Nah, it is science.
Why can't girls pee on the tree?
Why only if you're male?
Cacti also like urine.
Top tip: do it at night if it's in the front yard.

And what if I reply just because?
Just search Facebook, plenty of groups dedicated to different things, be it gardening, plants, or lawns.
Let's see, will OP reply to this post. Hasn't responded to the last 2…
Try Australian gardening fanatics on fb.
Some knowledgeable people there.
Australian and New Zealand Gardening Discussion Forum

It doesn't have to end with au to be an Australian site.
@ spackbace Maybe it's full of Lurkers waiting to jump in with advice but there's no one asking for any.
Sounds like OZB for when bargain advice gets asked for. Except these forums aren't used tor bargain advice.
how are people here trolling? youve got some great advice above
trolling = "didn't make airplane noise, spoon not fast enough :(((((((((("
Edit for clarity: the additional ('s are frowns, not chins
Brutal
Did you report the 'troll' posts to admin so they know?
too many Trolls as usual
Obviously your definition of a Troll differs from others melani00 .
More like you are trolling us if that's the best reply you are capable of when offered good and helpful advice.
Your posts are absolute rubbish so far.
I enjoy watching Self Sufficient Me videos on youtube and facebook. He's an Aussie and really informative. He presents his videos really well. It's mostly vegetable gardening though.
Is he in Northern NSW or QLD? Basically you can stick anything in the ground there and it'll grow. Be great if there was a Melbourne version of this guy!
I think he's northern QLD. And I mostly agree with you but some crops that don't like the humidity doesn't too as well in the very north of QLD.
Yeah I agree, but he still has a lot of excellent content relating to composting, preparing garden beds, soil, crop rotation and so on.
You're free to start up some gardening or plant-related threads here.
We have plenty of "My neighbors tree is hanging over my fence. Halp!" or "I knocked down my protected trees and now the council wants to fine me wtf". That is about the extent of our gardening forum.
Thought Whirlpool has one.
Agree, I searched for one a couple of months ago. Nothing really comprehensive on WP, Houzz, Homeone etc.. a couple of sub-forums and topics but not alot.
Start one yourself! I'll subscribe.
OzGardenForum.com.au
@scotty business idea!
@spackbace: Perhaps their forum section could become Australia’s foremost bargain discussion board, because you know, this one seems to be Australia’s foremost “too lazy to use a search engine” board…
@spackbace: No thanks. I am already trying hard minimising all the gardening chores at home. Can't spare any more minute thinking about it.
r/GardeningAustralia has 8.4k users and seems pretty active…
Yea….. such a shame /s
The ineternets has moved away from specialist forums. It’s all faceache pages and instragame followings now.
What you on about. Tons of Facebook gardening groups for each state with great information and tips.
Didn't Gardening Australia use to have a forum?
Any update on known active gardening forums ?
This is active and very helpful, mostly centered around fruit trees though (great if you're trying to grow something unusual out of it's preferred environment):
https://www.daleysfruit.com.au/forum/
Otherwise I find various niche Facebook groups are good (there's one for everything you can dream of, lawns, native finger lime growing, heritage fruit trees….)
Thanks Hydro, I'll check it out.
I have started to Garden at my new place.
I like Costa from Gardening Australia but would love to learn new things from locals regarding gardening:)
