Governor General's Winter Solstice Dinner

28/6/2015

Sir Peter Cosgrove with the Agribusiness Council of Australia held a dinner at Government House Canberra showcasing Australian grown produce and YES you guessed it our Braidwood Garlicious™ Grown Black Garlic! We were thrilled when Landline covered the dinner and mentioned our beautiful garlic as part of a terrific sounding dinner. You can read more here:
We will try to contact Jane Booth the talented head chef and find the menu used and let you all know! In the meantime what a treat to have our product on the table for an international dinner.

Adding Worm Wee To Boost Growth

7/6/2015

Yesterday we mastered getting worm wee into our moveable watertank. Worm wee is the result of water flushing through our worm farm. The worms live in elevated baths filled with food scraps, coffee grounds and cow manure. They seem to thrive and rain water drips through, taking microbes and nutrients in solution, captured in buckets under the bath drain. We then dilute the wee to one in 20 and spray it out on the garlic crop. One son used his fire brigade training to fathom the workings of the fire pump and next minute we were watering the garlic with microbe rich water. Interestingly, this year we soaked some cloves in worm wee prior to planting. The soaked cloves seem to be growing bigger and more vigorously than their peers. Will be great to see how these bulbs get on.
