 After a hiatus of several years we are back stocking soil blockers. Our sincere thanks to Dave Taylor of Blackberry Lane in England for handling all our inquiries for blockers while we were unable to stock them.
Soil blockers are an integral part of our farming system and we highly recommend them for the many advantages they offer for growing quality seedlings and the environmental plus of no plastic pots

- Allsun Garlic Update
(posted 11 April, 2012)
Our wonderful garlic crop is nearly sold out and we are just about finished planting out next years crop in the Allsun Garden
Start preparing some garden space now - the earlier you plant the bigger your bulbs next spring.
Our aim is to encourage everyone to grow garlic and lots to spare so that you can start harvesting some plants as an early spring treat long before your main crop has bulbed up ready for harvest. No one needs to buy imported garlic in Australia.

Planting Calendar for Temperate Australia (posted 18 March 2011)
Shortening days and cooling nights herald the end of summer. We are now turning our thoughts to planting next years crop of garlic. We are printing out new garden layout charts and next seasons planting calendar as well as collecting together seed catalogues and doing a stocktake of all the seed we have in hand.
So that you can get on with planning next years kitchen garden here is the planting calendar that we have developed at Allsun Farm. It was originally in the form of a wall calendar but over the years we have realised that printing it out on monthly cards which can be put in your pocket it a better idea.
We make notes on the cards and print a new set out every year so the cards double as both a diary and a calendar.

Seasons Greetings and a New Wheel hoe for you to look at (posted 14 December, 2010)
We wish you all a wonderful growing season. The unprecedented amount of rain has surprised everyone but the vigorous growth and the full catchments and dams auger well for small scale diverisified gardens and organic market gardens. Now is the time to plan and plant crops for winter harvest.
When there is rain there are always lots of weeds so have a look at the new double wheeled wheel hoe that we have added to our catalogue
The Hoss double wheeled wheel hoe is a useful tool for small to medium scale
market gardeners.
Increased stability, comfortable wooden handles and compatibility with all the other wheel hoe attachments that we stock.
Hoss tools also add weeding sweeps and turning ploughs to our range. These new attachments fit both the Hoss wheel hoes and our well tested Glaser wheel hoes with pneumatic tyres.

'Growing the Growers' our filming trip to the USA the UK and Europe
What an extraordinary adventure. Six weeks travelling in the United States, England and Wales finishing with a quick trip to Latvia for mid summers night and then a scything workshop in eastern Czech Republic.
Fred Harden our film maker friend is working his way though all the footage he took and we are sorting out all the still photos. We have images of many small farms and recordings of interesting interviews with farmers, gardeners, teachers, students and philosophers. Now we have to build the story putting it all together in an interesting, accessible form.
The photo diary of where we went and who we saw is on the trip blog. Blogging slowed down once we got to England. Just too many things happening and very little chance to get on the internet however Joyce is back working on it and aims to have it finished in the next few weeks.
