Hi Everyone,

Maryanne came across this article about CSIRO and Power technology. While not strictly about gardening it certainly is about helping out environment.

Lets hope that we can start to keep and produce some of these innovations locally!

If you haven't already taken advantage of the Queensland Governments Climate Smart home service I'd get cracking and get one booked.

Maryanne and I had ours done on Saturday and it went well and along with the wireless power monitor (neat)

we had around 10 CLF globes installed or swapped out for our own (we had a lot of empty sockets to start with).
