Shoo fly - Part 2 (As promised last time - dealing with the loathsome fruit fly...) For a start, there are many forms of fruit fly including the cucumber fly which attacks all forms of the cucurbit/melon family along with tomatoes, eggplants etc. But the main protagonists are the reddish brown with yellow markings Queensland fruit fly and the smaller, usually yellow, brown-banded wings Mediterranean fruit fly. These two fruit flies have similar life cycles and are both considered serious pests in most areas. But it’s the Queensland variety in its seemingly unstoppable plague proportions that demands our constant attention and action. And it’s a year-round task. Fortunately so far the attacks are mostly limited to warmer, fruit and vegetablegrowing areas but that doesn’t mean we’re totally immune. It only takes a few maggotinfested fruit to be carelessly thrown out onto the roadside or a compost heap for a new colony to breed. Their larvae reach about 7-9mm fully grown and leave the fruit at that stage to burrow down into the soil to pupate in elongated brown pupal cases. The females are capable of laying their own eggs within a week of emergence. The adults may survive over winter for many weeks, feeding on sweet liquids such as the honeydew excreted by aphids and other similar insects. Another good reason to keep your garden aphid-free. They become active when warm weather begins in August and lay their eggs in whatever fruit, such as citrus, are starting to ripen.
Control Cleanliness in the garden is the first and probably best defence. Never leave fallen fruit on the ground or infested fruit on the tree. It should be removed and destroyed by burning or boiling. Other methods are immersing the fruit for several days in water with a layer of kerosene on top. Or you can leave them in the sun for at least three days in a tightly-sealed plastic bag. It must not be buried as it would simply continue their life cycle.
Fly traps Fortunately, fruit flies can be attracted and trapped before they reach your fruit by using exactly the same method and traps as for European wasps. That goes, in fact, for almost any fruit-loving flying insect. There is no need to purchase a trap, you can simply make your own using an empty plastic drink bottle and some light wire, pictured. I happen to have one of those small eyelet punches to reinforce the holes, but that isn’t totally necessary. For the bait you can purchase attractants from most hardware or garden outlets or, like me, mix your own. Fruit flies love vinegar so make them up a cocktail of three or four parts vinegar to one of fruit juice. But why stop at one? Strategically place several of them as a ring of protection. Begin your campaign just after the fruit blossoms wilt and the fruit buds start to emerge. If you wish to mount a "belt and braces" attack once the fruit starts to colour, you could also spray the trees with one of the many safe organic pesticides now available at almost any garden supply outlet.
Cuttings This wet/warm weather is a great chance to do a spot of gardening out of the weather and a great opportunity and time to try striking cuttings of your favourite shrubs and woody perennials. Some of the hardier types can simply be put into a sand-filled hole in a sheltered part of the garden, but the more difficult varieties will need to be placed into pots or boxes of coarse sand, or a mixture of equal parts peat moss and sand. Place the pots in a large plastic tub or box with a sheet of clear plastic or glass over the top and locate it in a warm, semi-shaded spot.

Warmth by fire
Stoking the fire the other night actually made me sad that winter is rolling around already after a very brief and cool summer, but then I remembered, it is arguably the best time of the year. Falling coloured leaves with oversized jumpers, blankies, a warm hot chocolate and a cosy fire. Chilly evenings outside under a starry sky are even better next to an outdoor pit fire. Before you say, hold on, it’s still fire danger period and we can’t light fires, you actually can, provided you follow the guidelines. A barbeque, campfire or fire for warmth or comfort is permitted if the wind is less than 10km/ hr. A good gauge is when leaves and twigs are in constant motion, the wind speed is greater than that. It must be in a properly constructed fireplace or trench at least 30cm deep. Stone, concrete or metal is best. Have nothing flammable within 3m from the fire perimeter or 1m of the highest point of the fire. The fire must be smaller than 1m2 with a person in attendance at all times whilst the fire is alight. Water to fully extinguish the fire must also be handy. This fire pit area need not be fancy. It certainly can be grand with polished marble or granite, built-in stone carved seating with a water feature and fancy lighting. It can also be a dug out earthen pit ringed with stones out in the open. Whatever your taste and purse size, take advantage of the evening bird song whilst the mozzies and march flies will be dying off in the cooler temperatures. Put a sausage or cob of corn on a stick and let the kids cook their own dinner. A bit of Bear Grylls adventuring never hurt anybody. It saves you getting up, fussing, or washing up. Dessert is a marshmallow on the same greasy stick. It’s what a childhood outdoor evening is all about. Perfectly relaxing and a great way to enjoy the autumnal cool and still weather that we love so much. Oh, did I say hot chocolate? I meant hot toddy.

Money with Matt Economic Recovery Back in December 2020, I wrote a column regarding the fact that the Australian economy was in recession. I was pondering at the time and finished the column stating that I hoped 2021 would resemble something close to ‘normal’. The pleasing news is that some of the statistics coming to light are showing that Australia as a whole is recovering from the pandemic. The Australian Bureau of Statistics has released results indicating that to March 2021 unemployment has dropped to 5.8 per cent. This is down from 7.5 per cent in July 2020, which realistically was smack bang in the middle of the pandemic (see the visual representation). You can clearly identify that unemployment rose considerably throughout 2020, but it is also identifiable that the recovery has been quite rapid. We need to keep in mind that with JobKeeper ending, there may well be some changes to these percentages next month. With respect to CPI, the December 2020 quarter showed that the Consumer Price Index had risen by 0.9 per cent, which was on the back of the September quarter increasing by 1.6 per cent. Interestingly, over the 12 months to December 2020, CPI also increased by 0.9 per cent, and considering the year of 2020, I think this is impressive. The cash rate of the RBA is currently remaining at 0.10 per cent, and the RBA has indicated that this will not be materially altered until 2024. Keeping all of this in mind, the facts are indicating that as a nation, we are showing strong signs of recovery. I fully acknowledge that the lockdowns and mask wearing are not always aligned with a healthy social life and to be blunt, these practices can be downright inconvenient. I will say however, that I feel lucky to be a resident of a country that is highly regulated, and that jumped on the lockdown train in the fashion that we did. I’m certainly not wanting to start a political debate, because no politician is perfect, but we are all lucky to be in Australia where our government locked us down and guided us through this mess to a point where we can be somewhat ‘normal’ again.
"The cash rate of the RBA is currently remaining at 0.10 per cent, and the RBA has indicated that this will not be materially altered until 2024. Keeping all of this in mind, the facts are indicating that as a nation, we are showing strong signs of recovery."

Real estate records for February auctions
R
ECORDS were shattered last month with February recording the highest ever auction clearance rate for the month of February in Victoria.
Real Estate Institute of Victoria data shows that February 2021 recorded an 84.8 per cent clearance rate from more than 3000 auctions. It’s the highest rate in 11 years, beating out an old 2010 record with an 84.0 per cent clearance rate. While lockdowns, international border closures, and tightened purse strings have affected many markets, it has not spelled disaster for the Victorian property market as many doomsayers said it would. Some 17 suburbs were a hot commodity last month, having cleared 100 per cent of listings. Suburbs included Hawthorn East, Fitzroy North, Ferntree Gully, Rowville, Brunswick East, Sandringham, Seaford, Collingwood, Ashburton, Blackburn South, Fawkner, Wantirna, Boronia, Fairfield, Hillside, Seddon and St Kilda West. Reservoir, Coburg and Bentleigh East beat out the rest to land as the top selling auction suburbs for February 2021, clearing 44, 37, and 35 auctions respectively, while 11 suburbs at least doubled their auction sales compared to same month in 2020. The best improvements on last year are in Sunshine North, Dingley Village, Gladstone Park, Ashwood, Albert Park, Fitzroy North, Doncaster, St Kilda West, Montmorency, Hoppers Crossing and Templestowe. This year’s performance has been boosted by support measures such as incentives for first home buyers, mortgage repayment holidays, and low interest rates. High demand across the state has also been fuelled by an increase in activity following Victoria’s devastating lockdowns which saw thousands of auctions cancelled. While the times are ripe for Victoria’s property market, there will be pain ahead for mum-and-dad investors. Changes to the Residential Tenancy Act coming into effect at the end of this month will disrupt the market with more red-tape and increased ownership costs.
