Hmm Armadale is closer to the stone fruit plantations in the hills
I am close to the coast, as I said mum never had an issue with fruit fly but she did have a rat problem until I gave her bait stations.
I have a small fig tree that self seeded, only kept it because my son likes figs. Last year gave him a few kg
Have not put any veg this year, giving the soil a rest and build up the organic matter. Cleaned out the chook house the other day and add the poo to the raised garden beds. Will make sure I get garlic and shallots in next year.
Also need to fix up the chook run, amazing how much damage they can do to a vegy patch in a short time, another reason I didn't plant vegies
