I would like to remind you if you haven't already put some rock dust, seaweed or fish emulsion on the soil to keep building up the minerals. Lack of minerals are one of the major causes for all diseases in plants (also with humans) so it is very important to keep feeding the soil each year with products which have a large range of minerals. And now is a good time to do so. Min Plus is a fantastic rock mineral you can purchase at Enviromart Cairns.

It is very important to be aware not to work your soils if they are too wet. Damage can be done which take years to undo. For gardeners, a fork is better to use than a shovel or spade. Also walking or pushing a heavy wheelbarrow on wet soil can cause soil compaction, which damage soil structure. So it is with all things in nature, to work WITH it, it teaches us patience. So happy gardening as students of nature.
