stuff grows a lot quicker and you can grow some veggies all year round however insects are a pain and if you have fruit trees you also have to guard against parrots bats and possums ( so netting or covering the tree is the only solution ) you may have seen bannana trees with great big plastic bags over the fruit |

Robertson is the best soil to grow spuds;) If you do a search on selfsufficientish there is a good aussie bunch as well as uk that grow their own on there.

the main reason for putting bags over nanas is to make them rippen quicker and to prevent sun damage so the fruit looks good.

That's a bit worrying mate - tomatos are my speciality. I grew 5000 off 21 plants one year in the UK.....
