Don't be tempted to come back from an overseas
holiday with Lettuce seeds. They are totally prohibited in all states of Australia since
most Lettuce, Onion and Carrot seed grown outside Australia has a leaf virus which is
carried in the seed. That's why so much Australian seed is sold for export.
Any doubts
ring AQIS 1800 018 318. |

Can you recognize nitrogen deficiency? It
can be caused by putting your lawn clippings before they have been composted or rotted
down. They then deplete the available nitrogen from your soil as they continue to break
down, causing a short-term nitrogen deficiency and yellow leaves.

There's a 'new' disease for the tomato grower
at the bottom of the garden. It's "Tomato Russet Mite" and it makes your tomato
leaves look all desiccated and rusty. You'd need a twenty magnification hand lens to
confirm it, because they are that small.
