Love Food, Hate Waste 

Over the past couple of weeks, the team at ASQ Skydancers have been participating in the 'Love Food, Hate Waste' program introduced by Sustainability Victoria to help Victorian hospitality businesses reduce their food waste.

We recently completed a review to identify where food waste occurs most in the café. From reviewing spoilage, preparation, plate waste and end of day surplus we have discovered that 67% of waste comes from plates and 33% comes from preparation.

After receiving the results from the review, we developed an action plan to dramatically reduce the amount of food we throw away over coming months. The plan includes strategies for decreasing waste by changing the way we order, store and prepare food as well as watching the portion sizes of items often left on plates at the end of a meal.

Over the coming months as we trial our action plan and continue to review our waste, we encourage you to participate in the program at home by reviewing your waste and creating an action plan.

For more information about how to participate, visit sustainability.vic.gov.au or chat to our friendly staff.

With less than three months until bare root season, now is the time to start thinking about what's in store for your garden.

At ASQ Garden & Landscape we have access to a great range of trees at affordable prices. From fruit trees including apples, plums and cherries to ornamentals such as magnolias, acers and weeping varieties, we have just what you need to add a new lease of life to your garden.

We also have a large range of roses available including standard, patio, bush and climbing. Many of your favourite varieties are available at bare root prices including David Austin, Gold Bunny and many more.

So whether you have big ideas for your forever home or you're ticking off jobs before you put your property on the market, buying bare root is a great option for many reasons:
- Affordable: Buying bare root is a very cost-effective option, especially if you have big plans for your garden.
- Ready to go: Bare root plants take off quickly because they don’t have to adjust from container soil to your local soil.
- Established: Bare root plants typically grow for up to two years before being dug up. This means they are already quite established and ready to thrive.
- Practical: With no pot or soil, bare root plants weigh less which makes them easier to carry and maneuver when planting.
- Strength: Bare root plants generally come with a larger root mass, sometimes up to 200% larger than potted plants.
- Environment: An environmentally friendly option due to not having a plastic pot.

Orders will begin on Wednesday, 1 May and end on Friday, 31 May.

Autumn gardening tasks

Autumn has arrived and the cooler weather is just around the corner, which means there is a lot to be done in the garden!

One of the first things that springs to mind when we think of autumn is the leaves falling from our deciduous trees. As beautiful as it is watching the foliage change colour and eventually fall, the clean up can be tedious and time consuming. But did you know the fallen leaves can be composted and added back to your garden? 

Composting your leaves is not only a fun project for the family, but it’s also great for the environment and your garden. The best way to compost your leaves is to pick up one of our Compost Bins. Simply place it in a sunny spot, put some leaves inside, add a layer of soil and water it all in well to get started.

After a harsh summer it’s likely your vegie garden is looking a bit worse for wear. It’s time to take them out and start preparing your winter vegetable garden! Add a few bags of organic matter, such as cow manure or Grow Better Pure Magic Compost and use a shovel to turn it over until it is all mixed through. 

Once your soil is ready it’s time to start planting your favourite vegetables! Autumn is the perfect time of year to plant broad bean, beetroot, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, broccoli and so much more. Once you have finished planting it’s time to mulch your vegetable garden with sugarcane, which we sell in compressed bales.

Come in and visit the friendly staff at ASQ Garden & Landscape to grab everything you need for your autumn gardening!

Autumn has arrived 

With summer gone and winter just around the corner, it's the perfect time of year to get your garden back into shape and start planning new projects.

We have lots of great special offers coming up and bare root season is creeping up on us, so now is the time to start thinking about which plants are on your wish list.

It is important to tidy up any perennials that have been battered by the summer heat by trimming them back and removing dead stems.

There is so much that can be done in the garden while the soil is still warm, but also make sure to take a step back and enjoy the autumn foliage and balmy nights!
