TangleMIRE Gardens
Австралия
Добавлен 18 фев 2024
Zone 11a, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, is where we live. My mother and I have been in the watergarden industry for over 35 years. Our forte is the PLANTS for your pond, not the building or deigning of it, BUT the CARE of ponds and the plants within it. Mum had a nursery called Waterlily Acres but all things pass as time moves on, and now we have started this RUclips channel called TangleMIRE Gardens so that our knowledge could be passed on.
This channel is going to be about our above ground ponds and two gardens, my mother's and my own. There are lot of unfinished projects to be completed on both properties.
My garden is a suburban block backing onto a park.
My mother's is acreage backing on to a major motorway with a watercourse running through it.
As these gardens grow, I thought you might like to come on the journey and see what goes on in these jumbled environments of ours.
Please enjoy your visits here.
Take care. Nicola and Sheila

Crucifix orchids and mum -Potting them) - Ep 36
Zone 11a, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Crucifix orchids are such a giving plant. A person only has to have scrap of a stem, and a willingness to wait, and making sure you tuck them into a nearby shrub, or put them into the orchid mix, like I have, or put some mulch or a pile of leaves over the roots, and you are good to go. A few years later you will have a bunch and flowers. Fortunately I don't have to wait that long, mum allowed me to have some plantlets from her bunches of orchids. I choose three different colours, and mum help me pot them up into three square pots I picked up on the side of the road. The person didn't want them anymore. I pick up lots of bits and pieces that way...

Zone 11a, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. This video shows the TWO FLOODs in 2020. The first flood was soo bad that my mothers house got flooded from the street. I had to go and save three of our ponds that had floated away. Then all the ponds had to be relocated and mums house had to be fixed up. Even though it has been a few years until my brother and I were able to cut this grass down, to...
Knitting needles versus an Ibis - Ep 33

Zone 11a, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. I have been having problems with Ibis, which is a large white bird that likes to eat fish and anything else it can get, including the rubbish humans leave around, which is why they are called Bin Chickens. Now there were three Ibis to start off with but two have left leaving this one persistent bird. After it squashed my plants flat while it eat my f...

Просмотров 106Месяц назад
Zone 11a, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Here is the first waterlily flower of the season. Nymphaea Leopardess is a beautiful tall standing day flowering waterlily. It only has one flower at a time and each flower lasts for 4 days. Each flower opens (here at our place), from approximately 11am to 2pm, although saying that it does depend on the weather. If it is a hot day it can open around ...
Will this work? Using KITTY LITTER as a planting medium? - Ep 31
Просмотров 143Месяц назад
Zone 11a, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Well it is time for another experiment. I am trying two different varieties of clay kitty litter as a growing medium. One is Chandler (an Australian brand), and the other is a Coles brand. So far I am very impressed with the products. They have not adversely affected my ponds. My shrimp and fish (White Clouds) are all doing well. I have no excess alg...
The old tin shed comes down - Ep 30
Просмотров 70Месяц назад
Zone11a, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. This shed has been in this same spot for 30 years, that is until the day it came down. We never really used it. Some bits and pieces had been placed in there but I hated having to go into it. It was full of spiders. It took along time to get to the point of bringing it down. Now we have a wonderful cleared space suitable for other items, like 2 huge r...

This video has been months in the coming because I LOST the beginning and the ending of this video.

Zone11a - Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. This video is about a pond a did a few years ago. It lives on the top of Mt Tamborine, which is not too far away from the Gold Coast. I did not build the pond, I was just has to set it up with waterlilies, fish, and oxygenators. I have always used river sand in the bottom of my ponds and it has never failed me.

Zone 11a - Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. I have had this ramshackle potting shed for 20 years and now it is finally gone. I can not believe how much stuff came out of it. Thank goodness I had someone helping me to removed it and sort it so we knew what was what.

Zone 11a, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. I have some beautiful Sagittarius plants which are soo tiny at the moment. I actually thought I ad lost them but they were amongst my buttercup. Now I want to be able to plant them out, and for that I have made up these wonderfully sturdy planting pots that can be attached the the rim of my plastic stock pond. In this video I show you how I anchor th...

Thalia plants for your pond, and their uses and care. - Ep 24
Просмотров 1142 месяца назад
Zone 11a, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Thalia plants are amazing at helping to filtrate your pond, or grow in a very damp area of your garden, or help to use up excess waste water when living on acreage. I personally am using them as a barrier in the hope people won't throw their unwanted fish into my ponds. In ponds I use them to help filter the water. These plants are just so stunning t...
A suffocating algae in the pond, and how I got rid of it - Ep 23
Просмотров 943 месяца назад
Zone 11a, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. A day came when in 2016, after caring for a pond for two years, black hair algae arrived on mass. I was soo shocked, but as it turned out it was actually saving the fish from dying from Ammonia. After much research and talking to a professor and Griffith University her on the Gold Coast, I found out that this algae was feeding on Ammonia. I have hear...
Is this happening because of climate change? - Ep 22

Zone 11a, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Our peach tree is suppose to flower in October BUT IT IS NOT, it is flowering now! I do not know how this tree is going to go, and I have heard that there are other fruits on the Gold Coast that are in flower now when they should be hibernating. Goodness knows what is going to happen to it. I will keep you abreast of its fate.

What a beautiful color.💙
Yes it is.
I have been looking on the internet on how to remove rivets with no success, until now. Thank you for the info.
Glad to help
This is really interesting as I have been struggling to find a way to cover my metal fence. Thank you.
Love the kookaburra. We have them here as well. It is also and interesting way of attaching pots to your plastic pond. Well done.
This is fascinating. I like how the red Vallsinieria is growing in the sand. People always say to use gravel. Sand is an interesting thing to use.
Congratulations on a job well done... I was worn out watching you... Now and again I caught a glimpse of the rescue flowers you put in a couple of months ago, I may have missed a video of them flowering ... you put in pieces of cardboard to protect some of them from excess water
Hello Christina, I hope your gardens is looking brilliant. Yes I remember that video, the plants are doing ok. I think I will have to move some of them. The area is soo dry. I have already had to move the petuna down the back where it is wetter.
They are sailfin mollys and they are both boys
Thank you for letting me know that. Do they change sex like some fish who have no females around?
@@TanglemireGardens-ni8vz I don’t believe so but you can just buy normal female mollys and they can breed or you might even be able to find female sail fin mollys if you google male and female Mollys you will be able to see what to look for
I loved this ty for sharing, can you wear some shorts in your next vid?
You have got to be kidding!😂
@TanglemireGardens-ni8vz lol, no way! Come on lol
@@Dmoney4183 😂😂😂😂😂
Woozers! You got some really awesome close ups and slow mo 👏😍👏😍👏
Thank you 😁 i am really impressed with my new phone.
Love the sound of that bird. Oh wow they did grow , beautiful.
Yes, they are beautiful birds as long as they are not trying to catch my gold fish.
I love moths I have a wild garden I let bugs eat but I do get mad at some if they gang up and attack my plant. Most just come nibble and move on. Except this year the slugs are eating a few (wet summer) I love foxglove plants but they don't return the next yr for me so I just plant it in pots.
I have heard it is a bad year for slugs. I suppose those slug traps made from pots might help. I must admit that i do nor, knock on wood, have soo many caterpillars that it bothers me.
I love caterpillars, without them you do not have butterflies and moths.
Fantastic video thank you for taking the time to film and edit the videos. Best wishes from Ireland ❤🇮🇪
Wow thank you very much @markirish7599 for the compliment. I cant wait for summer so every one can see all the waterlilies and marginals in flower.
This looking good. Waiting for the next video.
I hate cutting down trees as well.
Wow! I love the way it turned out.
Poor things, I 😊hope they have recovered.
This is soo interesting.
I like saving plants as well.
I love lotus's.
This soo interesting, I shall be watching all the videos until the end.
I love the frog sitting on the leaf.
Thank you for the information.
This was soo interesting.
I hope your flowers grow and your garden will look amazing.
I have found this video very interesting.
^^ ponds are just big outdoor-aquariums:))) having a big layer of sand and some gravel on the bottom is a good biofilter.... even "if" the sand is not fresh from a river... beneficial bacteria will start to grow there over time and provide a more stable water biology. good video. getting a bucket of mud from a nearby healthy river or small stream can of course accelerate this and provide some additional lifeforms that will help keep everything in balance.
BRILLIANT idea with mud. Glad you liked it. Do not understand people using rock on the base if their ponds.
@@TanglemireGardens-ni8vz Oh some bigger rocks so that fish eggs can fall into the crevices^^... do not know if this is something "pond-guys" would do... I just have a smaller aquarium and started one of those little ponds in a big zement bucket on the balcony as you can really breed some nice fish over the summer time. fish and plants go hand in hand so well... and/or small shrimp
@@philxdev So true about the plants and small shrimp. In the cideo I am doing know it is about moving one of my ponds that has shrimp in it. I am amazed how they survived after their rough treatment. I don't put rocks in my ponds unless they are for goldfish ( we do not have koi in Queensland - illegal). I only use river sand. I use pond plants for fish to lay their eggs in, but I mainly deal with live bearing fish in all of my ponds (except of course the gold fish).
I will have to get a Nymphodies plant as it looks lovely.

How are the seedlings going?
The ones that have survived are doing well. I will certainly do a video when they flower.
Nice idea for the nesting material. I hope the plants will grow very well.
I hope so too! Thank you.
Great job! Looks awesome! But curious to know what you ended up doing with the snail egg? Did you leave it on the plant? Was it a water snail egg? If yes are water snails a friend or foe 🤔
Thank you for the compliment. Yes I left them there. They are water snails. Granted as I do not know who they are. I am unsure if they are friend or foe for my lotus and Nymphodies which is all I am worried about in that pond. In other ponds it would be the waterlilies I would be worried about. Some water snails will eat young waterliles, others do not. If I find them to be the wrong type I will use thin slices of cucumber to remove them.
Congratulations on a job well done :) I was wearing out just watching you collect the plants out of your existing pond
Thank you for the compliment. Yes it was a big job.
Looks like it worked to me. Plants look brighter.
I think they do to. It does not help that we are going into winter.
Zinnias grow so easy here from seed. Tomorrow I will add seeds to a bed.
I did not know that. I do have some seeds of cornflower, cosmos and poppy but it is getting cold here. Maybe next Spring.
