Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] placental gardening

Dear All

I can vouch for the following plants

Camellia in a pot (very happy) 1st babe 6.5 years ago

Grevillea (grew like bloody wildfire)  nearly 5 years old

David Austin old world Rose  Only a bit sad due to drought and a forgotten area of the yard - um ma! (3 years old)

Now what to plant for the twins? Yes HUGE placenta.  I have a huge garden but virtually no space.  I am thinking of something with a double flower (yes I like matching and all that cutesy meaning stuff!!), suggestions??

I planted the plant and placenta at the same time but the Camellia was originally in the ground.  I gave the placenta a fair bit of space below the root ball of the plant.

I am a keen gardener (yet don’t know too much) and I would think as a rule anything that likes blood and bone should do fine.  A native (like a Grevillea) should be an exception.  I think Mary’s advice re staged planting is very sound.

Perhaps ask what plants like rich soil and blood and bone type additions.

6 HB babes all with/to have planted placentas  (and I said placenta planting was ‘hippy’ when first introduced to HB rituals, Ah how we eat our words!)
