"Freddo Scaling to New Heights" by Scott Gregory
“We found this little guy just chilling on our vertical wall. Frogs help out in the control of some insects within the garden such as mozzies & flies.”

"Maggots, anyone?" by Paul Ryan
“It may look pretty gross, but these Soldier Fly larvae are pretty amazing. The can be used in compost bins or worm farms to break down organic waste. If there are plenty of them, you can feed them to your chickens or fish in an aquaponic system.”

"Square metre gardening" by Caroline Ryan

"Layers Lounge being built" by Paul Ryan
“Having a go at building a chicken coop in the backyard. Never built anything structural before, but learnt a lot in the process. If you think it will take X days and cost Y dollars, then triple both.”
"Battle-weary bee" by Paul Ryan
“This is a battle-weary native Australian stingless bee (Trigona carbonaria). This photo was taken after their hive was attacked by an invading swarm, and a brutal aerial battle ensured with thousands of bees fighting to the death.”
"Wood fired pizza oven" by Paul Ryan
“Use and value renewable resources. The base was built using sandstone found in the backyard chisled into shape by hand. The cooking surface is recycled pavers pulled up from a driveway. We often collect sticks and wood from the local area to fire it up, or sometimes timber offcuts left over from building things.”
"Coming in for landing" by Paul Ryan
“Reminds me of little helicopters approaching a landing pad. There are so many little details to observe in your garden.”
