Tagasaste Tasmania

Need to work put where all the potential customers are based?
Please comment here, are you wanting the lucerne plants sent in the post?

Hello I'm Pete, we are getting set up.
I have a long history with boar goats in Victoria but now moving onto something different in retirement & Tasmania.
Fresh Goat feed.

The business has new owners!
Stay tuned for updates

I am no longer growing tree lucerne plants. The business has been sold.

Due to being behind schedule on seeding, plants wont be available until November.

Tree lucerne is flowering now so please be vigilant in removing the flowers BEFORE they form seed pods.
If you allow your plants to set seed through summer, you will have lots of babies popping up everywhere next spring!

That old saying 'time is money' came to mind last night when sitting on the sofa, watching a movie, cleaning seed.

Then theres the germination, the pricking out, potting mix, pot, fertilizer, the watering, loading the van up for market, travel to various market locations, setting up market stall...

Then customers want the plant cheaper? Cheaper by the dozen??

No more plants available now until spring 🌱

Just a reminder to pre order your tree lucerne plants if you would like to pick up from my saturday market stall in Rosny. Thanks

Tote bags available at the market stall!
