Brussel Sprouts

A traditional leafy green vegetable that is loved by many but due to poor cooking history is not so popular with the kids. They have tight green buds with a strong cabbage-like flavour.
Brussels partner with all other root and leafy green vegies either baked, steamed or friend. Flavour is best when slightly under cooked but still not soft. Serve with butter and/or lemon juice.
For maximum health benefits do not overcook. They make a great side dish tossed in the wok with some garlic , oregano and lemon juice. They are also excellent lightly steamed.
Prefers and airy open position with plenty of sun , avoid heavier frosts. To get the best out of your brussels feed regularly with Maxicrop Seaweed Fertiliser. Harvest at 3- 6 months

Green Up & Weed Your Lawn

Feed ‘N Weed feeds lawns while selectively killing broadleaf weeds including clover, dandelion, dock, thistles, capeweed, bindii and lambs tongue. It is absorbed by the leaf and moves through the weed, through to the roots and works by forcing the weed into an excessive and disordered growth pattern which results in weeds yellowing, curling and dying. Weeds are killed slowly over a period of 3 – 4 weeks.
If you have a Buffalo or Kikuyu lawn, use the Weed Kill for Buffalo.
Easy to apply with a hose on bottle.
