Gidday In a word; Water. All citus have to have a good supply of water right through the fruit growing period otherwise they are dry inside, don't look very good or fall off alltogether. It will be too late for what is on the tree now but you must never let it get dry. They need good free draining b...

Gidday Sounds like you are a man after my own heart. When I grow spuds I place the one spud into the soil, put my big fat hoof with the heel next to it then plant the next spud at my toe and continue up the row thus.

Hey thanks. I am learnin a lot here. I am also waiting to see what some Yanks come up with too. I still have a week or two before I harvest my onions and want to replant at the end of June.

Gidday

That's O.K. I probably got enough old for both of us anyway

Gidday
