Existing beds will need revitalizing by adding compost, manures and a dusting of lime to the soil. Perhaps you are thinking of starting a new vegie bed; make sure you choose a sunny spot out of strong wind if possible. Work the soil with manures and compost until it is a lovely crumbly texture.
For those people short of space or not wanting to bend over a normal vegie bed, don’t forget the raised garden beds, which when filled with a vegie mix and compost are a great way to grow a wide variety of vegetables.

THE upcoming kitten season is fast approaching, and the Ten Lives Cat Centre is seeking more than 100 new foster carers to meet growing demands.
Ten Lives Manager Noel Hunt said there is an option for everyone looking to foster this coming kitten season.
“After taking early retirement due to personal reasons, I found myself looking for something to occupy my time,” she said.
With free training, 24hour support and free cat food, litter and vet care, fostering a kitten from Ten Lives has never been easier.Long-time foster carer Vikki Burnett has reared 656 kittens in the past six and a half years, and says being a foster carer has given her life new meaning after she was forced to stop work.

FOR the tenth year, not-for-profit charity BCCAfrica will hold an open garden event next month to raise funds for children living in Kenya.OnSaturday 15 October members of the public will be able to admire a vast array of plants, trees and flowers that sit on the picturesque Otago Bay property.Spread over three hectares, the property boasts plants from right around the globe.
“We know the Fund is a significant source of support for grassroots activities in the state and in this round we were impressed with the passion, innovation and hard work of the many volunteers and leaders driving these projects,” Ms Darke said.“We are particularly pleased with the Understory Network’s model that uses the sales of plants to sustainably fund themselves.
The $35,000 grant from the TCF will allow the Understorey Network to appoint a new Project Manager who will support the volunteers who join the growers scheme.
“The Understorey Network aims to promote Tasmania’s smaller native plants, so often overlooked in revegetation planting and which are integral to putting back good habitat for birds, insects and other animals,” she said.
The Understorey Network now runs a community-based nursery at Tolosa Reserve in Glenorchy. Entirely run by volunteers, the nursery has the capacity to produce about 15,000 native tubestock each season.
“Improving the wellbeing of Tasmanians is something the TCF strives to achieve, and we look forward to seeing how these projects will have a positive effect on their communities.”
