I'm taking some large stabs in the dark here, though I think common sense would have it that if you remove completely dead bits of Bracken, then the plant won't replace that since that section of plant is inactive. Disturbing that section…

Pteridium esculentum - Austral Bracken.

Darcy Duggan had mentioned that slashing Pteridium esculentum promotes regrowth which is thicker in much the same way that burning promotes it, which I think I've heard from Darcy though Gidja has also mentioned Fire promoting Bracken and Blackberries. Though I was wondering if the removal of Dead Bracken shoots would have the same effect. I don't recall Darcy mentioning it. My best guess is only the fronds are dead, though the rhizomes remain active, disturbing the dead fronds which effects…See More

Hi Raf, the stuff I originally purchased from Bunnings didn't mention anything about applying it on a hot day and it was still returning results which would vary from Reapplying to Effective Kill depending on what the plant is. In general it…

Hi, we used to buy it from Muir & sons Cranbourne. Dandenong area back in 2001-02 so check their site and see if they've still got it in stock.... Stinky stuff and usually recommended applying it before the hottest part of the day /…

Yeah l aways thought you needed good old hot days in direct sun to apply pine oil or at least apply it in the morning.. Perhaps the critical time to apply Pine oil  to *oxalis at bulb exhaustion stage does'nt really match up with the…

YELLOW- TAILED COCKATOO'S RETURN TO CAPEL SOUND FORESHORE

The pines trees at Capel Sound have been visited by three yellow-tailed black cockatoos today and yesterdays.
The whole under-storey where pine trees occur was littered with pine cones at different stages of being eaten.
The ground was covered with quite pine leaves broken off by the birds and the area looked as if a cyclone had come through.Must be many a long years since they last visited the foreshore.
