00:00:00For a lot of Australians, the taste of summer is the salty water in the oceans that surround us.
00:00:06Think beach holidays spent with family and friends.
00:00:09But these days, seawater is playing a role in quenching the thirst of the driest inhabited continent on the planet.
00:00:16This is just a sip of the refreshing beverage that is this week's Better Homes and Gardens.
00:00:22Tonight, it's peak baby season in the bush and some of them need our help.
00:00:26Have you ever wondered what happens to all the little orphaned Australian native animals?
00:00:32Well, tonight, I've got the answer.
00:00:36We've got your new letterbox signed, sealed and delivered.
00:00:40Something you could easily try at home with a couple of old sleepers and a cirque saw.
00:00:44We visit the home of style, or at least the home of one woman's style.
00:00:49Oh, wow, this is stunning. What a visual feast.
00:00:54Look at that.
00:00:55The ultimate finger food is just waiting in the wings.
00:01:00This is so addictive.
00:01:03Plus, some plants should come with a safety warning.
00:01:06Let's find out what needs to be pruned without getting bitten.
00:01:11Create a window that's as pretty as a picture.
00:01:14I almost call myself Michelangelo. He was a painter, wasn't he?
00:01:18And Colin's gone bush, but he can still create a chicken recipe that's a work of art.
00:01:25It's like a painting on a plate that smells of fire.
00:01:28I've got something very special to show you.
00:01:36Have a look at what's in my hands.
00:01:38It's a little tiny orphaned brush-tailed possum, and you never see anything quite as cute as this.
00:01:45At this time of year, there are a lot of native animals being born.
00:01:50Unfortunately, so many get rolled over by motor vehicles and by dogs and by other predators.
00:01:55And a wonderful band of native wildlife carers are on the job to rescue little critters like this.
00:02:01And their job isn't just nine to five. It's 24-7.
00:02:05They're dedicated people, and they do it for the love of it.
00:02:09Good morning, Kate.
00:02:18Morning.
00:02:19Lovely to see you.
00:02:20Nice to meet you.
00:02:21You've got a lot of animals in here, quite obviously. How many at the moment?
00:02:24I think there's 19 in this room at the moment.
00:02:2619?
00:02:27Let's have a look at a little ring-tailed possum.
00:02:29Oh, you've picked my favourite straight off the top. I love them. I love them. I love them.
00:02:32Love a ring-tail?
00:02:33Yeah, I do.
00:02:36I love the face. I'm sorry, but I love the face.
00:02:39There you are.
00:02:39Oh, for me.
00:02:40For you.
00:02:41Oh, great. Look at you.
00:02:46Big white tail. Look at the end of the tail. It's white.
00:02:49So the ring-tail doesn't have anywhere near as much coat and has a long white tip on the end of the tail,
00:02:57whereas the brush-tail does not.
00:02:59This little group of possums are in care. Three of the six that are in that enclosure...
00:03:04What happened?
00:03:05..are victims of cat attack, which is one of the biggest problems that we face during baby season,
00:03:12and they've got a very short time frame.
00:03:15Oh, dear, we're going for a walk. Is that all right?
00:03:16Yeah, to get some antibiotics and some help.
00:03:19So cat bites are always going to be toxic.
00:03:23Yes.
00:03:23They're always going to be septic. That's the right word, I should say, not toxic.
00:03:26Why septic? Because cats are carnivores.
00:03:28So they eat meat, so you get really nasty bacteria on claws and on teeth.
00:03:33They're under threat.
00:03:35I know.
00:03:35Constant attack.
00:03:36Yeah.
00:03:37You're gorgeous.
00:03:38Look at that.
00:03:39Yeah.
00:03:40How could you not love that?
00:03:41It's so easy to love me, baby.
00:03:46Easy to love me.
00:03:47It's so easy to love me.
00:03:49We have brush-tail possums.
00:03:52We won't take him out because it's a bit of a shock for him.
00:03:56Oh, my heavens.
00:03:56But this one has just started to grow some fur.
00:04:00It's got less hair than me, that's saying something.
00:04:02Right?
00:04:04Absolutely beautiful.
00:04:05What's the story on this one?
00:04:06This one was actually found in the pouch of a dead mum.
00:04:11Okay.
00:04:12Car accident?
00:04:13We presume a lot of the brush-tail possums that we find in suburbia.
00:04:18Yeah.
00:04:18We don't really know what caused their demise.
00:04:21And how important is it for everybody to check pouches?
00:04:24It is so important.
00:04:26Average amount of time that a joey can survive in the pouch is around about three days, believe it or not.
00:04:33Three days?
00:04:33That's incredible.
00:04:34Yeah, and of course the milk stops when mum dies, so they're basically captive in the pouch.
00:04:41And unless somebody checks the pouch, they will succumb.
00:04:50So what have you got there?
00:04:51This is probably the tiniest possum I have in care at this particular moment.
00:04:56Well, I need my reading glasses.
00:04:57You might need your reading glasses.
00:04:59Hang on a minute.
00:04:59What we're going to do is we're going to weigh him to make sure that he's getting an appropriate amount of formula and the right sort of formula.
00:05:08My hat.
00:05:09So this is a just furred baby brush-tail.
00:05:13I do need my reading glasses.
00:05:15Pop him down.
00:05:16And he is 111 grams.
00:05:22So you would keep a chart on each one of these?
00:05:26Yes.
00:05:26Yep.
00:05:27I weigh the possums every two days.
00:05:31Right.
00:05:31Just to make sure that they're gaining weight and that there isn't anything mysterious happening.
00:05:36What sort of growth would you expect in 48 hours?
00:05:39In 48 hours, you only see around about two to three grams.
00:05:43At least you see that.
00:05:44Yes.
00:05:44Yeah.
00:05:45It's more significant to see a loss of five or ten.
00:05:49Especially if for any reason they're starting to get a bit of diarrhoea.
00:05:54Yes.
00:05:54You need to be on top of that dehydration.
00:05:56Yes.
00:05:57Exactly.
00:05:57And this is the easiest way to tell.
00:06:04Make yourself comfortable.
00:06:05Now how strict is your timetable for feeding?
00:06:08These little fellows are every four hours.
00:06:11I feed at about 2am and then I head back to bed until 6.
00:06:16Gorgeous.
00:06:17Yeah.
00:06:20So this is a formula specifically designed for a macropod of a certain age?
00:06:24It is.
00:06:25That's why it's important that we regularly weigh our animals because the strength of the formula
00:06:31is dependent on the development stage of the animal.
00:06:36So a lot of well-intentioned people having rescued in inverted commas a joey on the side
00:06:41of the road would like to feed us some milk.
00:06:43But it's a real no-no, isn't it?
00:06:44It is.
00:06:44It's just the wrong thing altogether to be feeding them.
00:06:48Definitely.
00:06:48You know, the ideal thing to do is obviously to find someone who can look after an animal
00:06:54that you've rescued on the side of the road.
00:06:56Pick it up, take it home, put it somewhere warm, dark and quiet.
00:07:01Yes.
00:07:02Leave it alone.
00:07:03Don't try to do anything more for it than that and call your closest wildlife organisation
00:07:08and they will send somebody to pick it up from you.
00:07:11Are you looking for more volunteers the whole time?
00:07:13Constantly.
00:07:14I think a lot of people take on volunteering for wildlife care unaware of the time commitment.
00:07:20It is a big responsibility.
00:07:22It is.
00:07:22And a tremendous impost on your time.
00:07:25It can take over your whole life.
00:07:27What's the reward?
00:07:28What is the ultimate for you?
00:07:29Look at that face.
00:07:31There's the reward.
00:07:32You raise them so that you can release them back into the wild.
00:07:35Yeah.
00:07:43Wombats!
00:07:43Yes, a couple of little wombats.
00:07:45Now, where did you get wombats from?
00:07:48These are Southern Highlands wombats.
00:07:49They're inundated with babies at the moment, so we're helping out.
00:07:54What can people do?
00:07:55What can people do to ensure that we minimise the number of animals that are brought to you
00:08:00guys to look after?
00:08:02First of all, always do a pouch check.
00:08:04Yep.
00:08:04If you come across a dead animal, always do a pouch check.
00:08:07Yep.
00:08:08Keep your cats inside.
00:08:10Keep your dogs on a leash.
00:08:12Yep.
00:08:13Don't use rodenticides for rat bait because the possums eat it and it kills them as well as the rats.
00:08:22Basically, the main thing is get out, get involved, become a volunteer.
00:08:26Help raise a few of these animals.
00:08:27I think that's true.
00:08:28Yeah.
00:08:28Thank you so much.
00:08:30Really appreciate it.
00:08:32You out there, do your bit.
00:08:34Help them out.
00:08:35They need you.
00:08:37Maybe for a spot of sweetness, a little bit of pineapple cooked over fire goes perfect.
00:08:44Through droughts and flooding rains, this is a plant that's supplying us with fresh, clean drinking water.
00:08:49To be honest, it is easy to take water for granted.
00:09:07I mean, we turn a tap on and out it comes.
00:09:09But providing clean drinking water for over 27 million people around the country is an ever-changing scientific and engineering feat.
00:09:19To show you how far we've come, this reservoir was cut into a sandstone ridge in Sydney's inner-city suburb of Paddington in the 1860s.
00:09:29It stored water for distribution to surrounding suburbs for decades.
00:09:33Now it has been transformed into a stunning garden and a public space.
00:09:38A 19th century industrial reminder of how our cities were supplied with fresh, clean water.
00:09:43I've got something that's all in mind.
00:09:48I've got something that's all in mind.
00:09:52So while we have reservoirs that still store water in major cities all around the country,
00:09:56the way that we actually source water has evolved over time.
00:09:59Now we've got Corinne, the CEO of the Australian Water Association.
00:10:03I brought you out to a beautiful beach on the world's windiest day to talk about something that you're incredibly passionate about.
00:10:08Because that's fair to say, isn't it?
00:10:10The way that we actually now source water has definitely changed.
00:10:12Certainly.
00:10:13We can produce water from all different water sources in this country.
00:10:16So you've got dam water, groundwater, you can recycle water, or you can actually use the sea and produce it through desalination.
00:10:23Really, when you said desalination, that was the reason why we chose this location.
00:10:26Because seawater is actually now part of that mix, isn't it?
00:10:29Definitely.
00:10:29And it's also climate independent.
00:10:31So you're not relying on rainfall.
00:10:32So when the dams are dry or we're going through a drought, you can actually produce water from the sea.
00:10:38This week is particularly important for you.
00:10:40Yeah, it's my favourite week of the year.
00:10:42It's National Water Week and we really like to be able to get the message out there and get people engaged in water because we know it's so important to everybody.
00:10:58Hello, Rhys. How are you?
00:11:00Good, Jo. How are you?
00:11:01The Sydney desal has been here really since 2010 when it was finished being constructed.
00:11:08And it's been operational continuously since 2019.
00:11:12It's an integral part of the system.
00:11:14It's here to support overall resilience.
00:11:16It's not just about drought response.
00:11:18It's also about allowing Sydney water to conduct maintenance on its network.
00:11:22Any water quality issues, SDP can respond, as well as any emergencies in general.
00:11:26So its role in the water network has really evolved.
00:11:29Can you explain how it actually works for you?
00:11:32Yeah, yeah, sure.
00:11:33So over on this side here we've got the seawater intake.
00:11:36So we're bringing the water in off the coast of Kernel through a large tunnel system.
00:11:41And then from there we're cleaning the seawater slightly through some screens and it continues on.
00:11:47Alright, can we have a look?
00:11:48Yeah, let's go.
00:11:49Beautiful.
00:11:49Jo, here we are in the pre-treatment building.
00:11:58Uh-huh.
00:11:58So we're not taking the salt out at this stage.
00:12:00Right.
00:12:01But any of the smaller particulates in the water, we're removing it here.
00:12:05So you're talking like seaweed, shells, that type of thing?
00:12:08Yeah, but also smaller than that.
00:12:11Okay.
00:12:11So even some of the small particles that are in there.
00:12:14Yeah.
00:12:15Do you get any sea life itself that gets sucked in?
00:12:18Yeah, look, it's a good question.
00:12:19We don't get any sea life in.
00:12:21The plant was designed with that in mind.
00:12:23Yeah.
00:12:23So the structure's protected in that, so it prevents any large marine animals from entering it.
00:12:29But even the smaller animals, like fish for example, the speed in which we bring the water into the plant is so slow that the fish can actually come and go as they please.
00:12:39Here we are inside the reverse osmosis building.
00:12:53And this is really the heart of the plant, and this is where we're taking the salt out of the water.
00:12:58Do you know what?
00:12:58When you said that you were going to be taking the salt out, I never imagined it would look like this.
00:13:02This is wild.
00:13:03Inside each of these white pressure vessels that you can see is eight membranes.
00:13:08Right.
00:13:08And we have 36,000 of them in total in this building.
00:13:11Oh my goodness.
00:13:12And this is what it looks like from the inside.
00:13:13That's right.
00:13:14So here's a cutaway here.
00:13:15So how does that actually work?
00:13:17The water is being forced through from the outside in through the membrane at really high pressure.
00:13:22And it actually comes out through these blue tubes here.
00:13:25That's collected, and that goes to the next stage of the process to be made into drinking water.
00:13:36Okay, Rhys, I'm impressed.
00:13:38I thought we had a big water tank, but this is next level.
00:13:41Yeah.
00:13:41Yeah, look, this is our drinking water tank that we're standing upon here on the site.
00:13:45By virtue of taking the salt out of the water, we actually end up stripping some of the good things that we need.
00:13:50So before the water is ready for drinking, we remineralise that water by adding wine, carbon dioxide, chlorine is added to chlorinate the water, keep it clean, and fluoride is added for our teeth.
00:14:02And they fill this tank here.
00:14:04So this tank here, or this reservoir, is 40 million litres capacity.
00:14:08Oh, my goodness.
00:14:10And so at full production, we'll be turning this tank over between five to six times a day in terms of just the volume of water that will be moving through the plant.
00:14:18I do sometimes think we do take our drinking water and the really high quality that we get to enjoy for granted.
00:14:23So to see how much work goes into it is actually quite reassuring.
00:14:28Yeah, look, there's a lot that goes into the process.
00:14:32And hopefully, through conversations like this, people understand where their water comes from and the checks and balances that are in place to ensure that, you know, everyone's got good quality water at the end of the day.
00:14:42Look, not only have you delivered that, but also pretty good view as well.
00:14:45Yeah, not wrong.
00:14:46I'm in one of the growing tunnels at Torello Farm on the Mornington Peninsula.
00:15:04And as you can see, it's jam-packed full of produce.
00:15:07So if you are new to growing your own veggies at home, then one of the easiest crops that you can start with are the leafy greens.
00:15:13So that's things like your lettuces and silver beets.
00:15:15Now, one of the advantages of the leafy greens is that they're really fast growing.
00:15:20So if you're growing something like lettuce, you can be picking those leaves, you know, within six weeks or even earlier if you're going for the young leaves.
00:15:27So when it comes to choosing lettuces, I like to go for the loose leaf varieties.
00:15:32So they're the ones that don't form the tight heads just like this.
00:15:36They're what we call cut and come again vegetables.
00:15:38So you can nip out into the garden, harvest the outside leaves as you need them, and the plant just keeps on growing.
00:15:45And something you might not know, you can eat beetroot leaves.
00:15:55Particularly the young ones are really good in a mixed salad.
00:15:58This is a great variety called bull's blood that has deep red foliage.
00:16:02Very tasty.
00:16:03And the great thing about beetroot, it's one of those vegetables that you can eat from root to tip.
00:16:07So there you have it, a beautiful salad bar right in your backyard.
00:16:12All right, this is one chicken dish worth hanging around for.
00:16:17Get it?
00:16:18Now, it might look brutal, but this is the haircut of the season that ornamental grasses must have.

00:16:57This segment is brought to you by EcoFlow.
00:17:08Power on, game on.
00:17:19OK, they've taken the boy out of the city.
00:17:22I'm on the stunning Hawkesbury.
00:17:24I've got a fire. It's just coming down. You don't want it too hot.
00:17:28I've got my chicken.
00:17:30So what I'm going to do is I'm going to truss it with some strings.
00:17:32So basically just tie it up, keep it nice and tight.
00:17:35I'm going to wrap it in some wire, which will stop it falling, hang it on the chain over the fire.
00:17:40Sounds pretty simple. Let's go.
00:17:43Thank you.
00:17:43So we've got our chicken, which is going to have a beautiful smoky flavour from the fire.
00:18:08But we're going to add a little bit extra, a little smoky sort of garlic butter with a little bit of spice in there.
00:18:14So I've got half bubble garlic into the blender.
00:18:20Two bird's eye chillies. You can go even more if you want, if you want it a bit spicy.
00:18:23Tablespoon of fennel seeds.
00:18:27Let's go with that.
00:18:31Tablespoon of white pepper.
00:18:36Tablespoon of smoked paprika.
00:18:38You can sort of see where we're going.
00:18:39We've got the smoky, a little bit of hay, garlic, fennel.
00:18:42The zest of two lemons.
00:18:50We'll use the juice of the chicken later on.
00:18:55Alright, herbs.
00:18:57Got a half bunch of thyme.
00:18:59Half bunch of rosemary.
00:19:04Bunch of sage.
00:19:07Salt and pepper.
00:19:08200 ml of red wine vinegar.
00:19:20Give it a little kick.
00:19:24500 grams of butter.
00:19:28Alright, butter goes in.
00:19:29Got all our ingredients.
00:19:31Back in the blender.
00:19:34Alright, high speed.
00:19:38Alright, high speed.
00:19:44I've got this.
00:19:49Just so happens,
00:19:51I have this little baby.
00:19:53The EcoFlow at Delta II Max.
00:19:56This battery is idiot proof.
00:19:58Hello.
00:19:58All you do is,
00:20:00you plug it in at home.
00:20:01You cannot overload it.
00:20:02And it only takes just over an hour
00:20:04to get fully charged.
00:20:06And then,
00:20:07you can cook
00:20:07anywhere.
00:20:08You rock up to a campground with this,
00:20:10you're a rock star.
00:20:11And you can even power
00:20:12your hair dryer.
00:20:14But today,
00:20:14we're just using the blender.
00:20:15And it's serenity.
00:20:28Serenity.
00:20:32All right.
00:20:35So what we've got is
00:20:36beautifully herby spiced smoked butter.
00:20:41Get a chicken.
00:20:47And then we liberally
00:20:49baste with the butter.
00:20:55We're in the bush.
00:20:57Don't worry,
00:20:58I'm going to clean my hands after.
00:21:00Right, let's get a little massage going on.
00:21:04All right.
00:21:05Beautiful, look at that.
00:21:07Let's get them on change.
00:21:08Wash your hands.
00:21:09Let's go.
00:21:09I'm going to cook
00:21:24a heap of vegetables
00:21:25over fire,
00:21:26hanging over fire,
00:21:27and actually on a grill.
00:21:33This is sort of an all-day event.
00:21:38It's a labor of love.
00:21:40So your chicken's going to take
00:21:41three to four hours.
00:21:42If you want to speed it up,
00:21:43you can obviously lower it down.
00:21:45It gets hotter.
00:21:46The vegetables will take
00:21:47about half an hour.
00:21:47Get them done nice and early.
00:21:49And then sit back,
00:21:50have a beer,
00:21:51watch your chicken.
00:21:51All right,
00:22:02have a look at this.
00:22:03Everything is
00:22:04soft to the touch.
00:22:07A little bit charred,
00:22:08but that's what it's about.
00:22:09It's going to give you the flavor.
00:22:11Let's get all this off,
00:22:12rest it,
00:22:12we'll let it cool.
00:22:13All right,
00:22:34have a look at that.
00:22:35Beautiful and charred,
00:22:36smoky.
00:22:37I'll make a great little puree
00:22:38with that.
00:22:38A very quick corn puree.
00:22:53The corn's still hot.
00:22:55I've got 200 ml of cream
00:22:56into my jug.
00:23:01I've got my corn,
00:23:03just take it off the husk.
00:23:05I've got some of my onion
00:23:14that we roasted.
00:23:17Get that in.
00:23:20All that beautiful garlic,
00:23:21it's just released
00:23:22all its goodness.
00:23:23It's smoky,
00:23:24it's sweet,
00:23:25it's like garlic gold.
00:23:27So just chop it in half
00:23:28down the middle.
00:23:28A little bit of salt and pepper.
00:23:44A little splash of lemon juice.
00:23:45As you can see,
00:24:01we've a ton of power
00:24:02left in this EcoFlow.
00:24:04You can check how much power
00:24:05you've got on the display
00:24:06on the front,
00:24:07or you can even check
00:24:08the app on your phone.
00:24:09How good is that?
00:24:10From our roast corn,
00:24:11we've created roast garlic
00:24:13and roast onion gold.
00:24:15Some perfectly cooked
00:24:20roasted chicken.
00:24:22So I'm just going to
00:24:22de-joint the chicken.
00:24:25Perfectly cooked,
00:24:26moist,
00:24:28as if you doubted me.
00:24:33Our potatoes.
00:24:36So you want to scatter
00:24:37them in between.
00:24:38and just look at that.
00:24:49A little splash of lemon.
00:24:52And we are
00:24:53going fishing.
00:25:00It's like a painting
00:25:01on a plate
00:25:02that smells of fire.
00:25:03does it again, honey.
00:25:11Oh,
00:25:12I've got my pineapple.
00:25:14Watch this
00:25:15some dessert alone.
00:25:21Coming up,
00:25:22Graham's tackling the thorn
00:25:23in every gardener's side.
00:25:25I find when I go out
00:25:27into the yard,
00:25:28it's often the plants
00:25:29that I get bitten by.
00:25:30If you're trying
00:25:31to inject colour
00:25:32and personality
00:25:33into your home,
00:25:34meet the woman
00:25:35who's made a living
00:25:36out of it.
00:25:37I would love a behind
00:25:37the scenes of where
00:25:38the creative process
00:25:39starts for you.
00:25:40Okay, let's go
00:25:41and have a look.
00:25:41I'm dying to show you.
00:25:43And it's the Korean craze
00:25:46that's sweeping
00:25:47the nation.
00:25:49Time to heat things up.
00:25:50Let's start
00:25:51with the gojujang sauce.
00:25:59This segment
00:26:00is brought to you
00:26:01by Elk Gloves
00:26:02Comfort Pruner.
00:26:03The premium
00:26:04deerskin gloves
00:26:05made by gardeners
00:26:06for gardeners.
00:26:08It's a fantastic time
00:26:10to be out
00:26:10into the garden.
00:26:11You can actually
00:26:11feel the energy
00:26:12boost.
00:26:13But when you're
00:26:14out there,
00:26:14you need to be careful.
00:26:15There are things
00:26:15that bite like snakes,
00:26:17spiders,
00:26:18and those pesky
00:26:18mosquitoes.
00:26:20But I find
00:26:20when I go out
00:26:21into the yard,
00:26:22it's often the plants
00:26:23that I get bitten by.
00:26:24So let's find out
00:26:25what needs to be
00:26:26pruned without
00:26:27getting bitten.
00:26:37Now, first up,
00:26:38there are some plants
00:26:39that don't need
00:26:40to be pruned now.
00:26:41In fact,
00:26:41they're about to
00:26:42come into flower
00:26:42and you don't want
00:26:43to lose those blossoms.
00:26:44But there are others
00:26:45that are dormant
00:26:46and about to put
00:26:47on a fantastic
00:26:48amount of growth,
00:26:49just like this
00:26:50Bougainvillea.
00:26:51In fact,
00:26:51it's just going wild.
00:26:53Now, for the job,
00:26:54I'll need
00:26:54a pole pruner
00:26:56and then
00:26:57my favourite
00:26:59pair of gloves.
00:27:00These are
00:27:01Elk Comfort
00:27:02Pruners.
00:27:04It goes right
00:27:04up your sleeve.
00:27:05And the advantage
00:27:06of that is
00:27:07you don't get scratched.
00:27:08Look at the thorns
00:27:09on those stems.
00:27:11They're what we call
00:27:12reflex thorns.
00:27:13That's for climbing
00:27:14and they're really nasty.
00:27:15Okay,
00:27:24so what are we going
00:27:24to remove?
00:27:25All these branches
00:27:26that are coming out
00:27:27and taking over
00:27:29the garden,
00:27:30we need to take
00:27:30those off.
00:27:31But when you're
00:27:32pruning them,
00:27:33cut back to a node
00:27:34or where there's
00:27:35a short branch.
00:27:36Don't leave
00:27:36a hat peg,
00:27:37it'll just die back.
00:27:38The new growth
00:27:40is where you're
00:27:41going to get
00:27:41the flowers from.
00:27:53I like to use
00:27:54a tarp
00:27:55or a bin
00:27:55to collect
00:27:56the prunings
00:27:57as you go.
00:27:57Just roll it all up
00:27:58and take it
00:27:59to the green bin.
00:28:08All right.
00:28:16Well, that's that job done.
00:28:18On to the next one.
00:28:25Now,
00:28:25I love my roses,
00:28:27especially during
00:28:28spring,
00:28:29summer and autumn.
00:28:30The blooms
00:28:30are just perfect.
00:28:32But when it comes
00:28:33to things that'll bite you,
00:28:35roses are absolutely
00:28:36the biggest offenders.
00:28:38Look at those thorns.
00:28:39They are just huge.
00:28:41Now, pruning a rose
00:28:42like this in a pillar,
00:28:43you want to try
00:28:44and get it back
00:28:44into shape.
00:28:46Normally,
00:28:47I say,
00:28:48when you're pruning
00:28:49any rose,
00:28:50bush rose,
00:28:50shrub rose,
00:28:51that if you
00:28:52start on the outside
00:28:54and just sort of
00:28:55pruning small stuff off,
00:28:56you won't get
00:28:57into any strife.
00:29:08Now, just be careful
00:29:15when you're pruning
00:29:16big branches like this
00:29:17because these thorns
00:29:18not only bite you,
00:29:19they bite the rest
00:29:20of the bush.
00:29:21But in this case,
00:29:22the branches
00:29:23that are causing
00:29:24the biggest drama
00:29:25is a big one
00:29:26down the bottom
00:29:27and that's coming
00:29:28right out here,
00:29:30bringing these branches out.
00:29:32and there's one
00:29:34at the back
00:29:35and it's sending branches
00:29:37going miles
00:29:38out the other side.
00:29:39So instead of
00:29:40fiddling around
00:29:41taking all the little
00:29:42bits at the top,
00:29:44I'm going to go
00:29:44to the source
00:29:45and for that,
00:29:46you're going to need
00:29:47something bigger
00:29:47than secateurs
00:29:48and because it's
00:29:50right inside the trunk,
00:29:52you're going to need
00:29:53a pruning saw.
00:29:59Now, it's not only
00:30:00flowering roses
00:30:02and bougainvilleas
00:30:03that need to be pruned
00:30:04at this time of the year.
00:30:05The ornamental grasses
00:30:06do too.
00:30:07They are the most
00:30:08popular landscape plant
00:30:10in the world today.
00:30:12But a lot of home
00:30:13gardeners don't realise
00:30:14that they do need
00:30:15to be pruned down
00:30:16at the end of winter,
00:30:17beginning of spring,
00:30:17before the new
00:30:19growth starts.
00:30:20Now, and this is where
00:30:21you need to be really careful
00:30:22because the edge
00:30:23of every leaf
00:30:24is just like a razor blade.
00:30:26They'll really
00:30:27cut your hands
00:30:27and that's where
00:30:28these elk gloves
00:30:29really come into their own.
00:30:31Nice long sleeves.
00:30:32The reason they're
00:30:33so comfortable
00:30:34is that they're lined
00:30:35and they're nice
00:30:36and soft
00:30:37so that you can really
00:30:37grab onto your branching,
00:30:39whatever you're pruning
00:30:40or the grasses
00:30:41in this case
00:30:42and you're not going
00:30:43to do it
00:30:44and cause any grief
00:30:45to yourself.
00:30:47And I love to complicate
00:30:49until there's nothing.
00:30:51My feet get cold
00:30:52so I'm not talking.
00:30:55Let's just let it go
00:30:57the way that it's been going.
00:30:59You keep me close.
00:31:01Great.
00:31:02Oh, our timing
00:31:03was perfect.
00:31:05It's just starting
00:31:05to make new growth.
00:31:07Lovely spring
00:31:08and autumn display
00:31:09coming up.
00:31:09Another issue
00:31:18that you need
00:31:18to be wary of
00:31:19is really sticky
00:31:21poisonous sap.
00:31:22The last thing
00:31:23you want
00:31:23is to get it
00:31:24on your hands
00:31:25and sort of
00:31:25rub your eye.
00:31:26Oh, it can be
00:31:27really fatal.
00:31:28Now, there's a lot
00:31:29of plants,
00:31:30poinsettias,
00:31:30the frangipannies.
00:31:32This one
00:31:32is actually
00:31:33a relative
00:31:34of the poinsettia.
00:31:35It's a euphorbia
00:31:36wolf and eye
00:31:37and you can get
00:31:38in there
00:31:38and prune them
00:31:41quite low
00:31:42but you can see
00:31:43that milky sap
00:31:44pouring out there
00:31:45and the gloves
00:31:46they give you
00:31:47the protection.
00:32:00Now, we've been
00:32:01doing quite a little
00:32:02bit of pruning
00:32:03and reducing plants.
00:32:04I thought we'd better
00:32:05do some planting
00:32:06to increase
00:32:07the beauty
00:32:08of the garden.
00:32:09I'm putting in
00:32:09some grevilleas here
00:32:10but be aware
00:32:12a lot of people
00:32:13more than you
00:32:14might realise
00:32:14are actually
00:32:15allergic
00:32:16to the grevilleas
00:32:17and it's actually
00:32:17the ends
00:32:18of the leaves
00:32:19cause a rash.
00:32:21The rash
00:32:21can go up your arm
00:32:22and I've actually
00:32:23seen children
00:32:23suffering from
00:32:24an anaphylactic reaction
00:32:26and they can't breathe.
00:32:34Great.
00:32:35Well, that's the
00:32:36give and take
00:32:37of gardening.
00:32:38Take away
00:32:39and give back
00:32:40and here we've got
00:32:41some beautiful flowers
00:32:42to come
00:32:42and all done
00:32:43nice and safely.
00:32:45Perfect.
00:32:49Meet Australian
00:32:50interior designer
00:32:51Tigger Hall
00:32:52and her fabulous
00:32:53palette of fabrics
00:32:54and decor.
00:32:56Follow me
00:32:57on a trip to Korea
00:32:58with my sticky
00:33:00gochujang chicken
00:33:01winglets.
00:33:03To catch up
00:33:04on any stories
00:33:05you've missed
00:33:06or to watch
00:33:07exclusive Better Homes
00:33:08and Gardens content
00:33:09plus loads
00:33:10of how-to videos,
00:33:11recipes and more,
00:33:13check us out
00:33:13on 7 Plus.
00:33:15windows.
00:33:23Well, they like
00:33:23the artwork
00:33:24to any room
00:33:24because once
00:33:25they're framed
00:33:25they really do
00:33:27bring the outside
00:33:27to life.
00:33:28So I'm going to show
00:33:29you the easiest way
00:33:30to put a set of architropes
00:33:31around a window.
00:33:33So it starts
00:33:33with a set square
00:33:34and I set it to 5mm
00:33:35and that's going to be
00:33:36my quirk
00:33:36which is to set down
00:33:37from the top
00:33:38of the frame
00:33:39down to where
00:33:39the architrave is.
00:33:40Then I'll cut
00:33:42everything
00:33:42over size
00:33:44and this is where
00:33:44the trick is.
00:33:45You don't want
00:33:46to use your tape measure.
00:33:47Basically what I'll do
00:33:48is I'll hold up
00:33:49the architrave
00:33:49to one mark here
00:33:51and then on the other side
00:33:52I'll use my pencil
00:33:53and marker
00:33:54and then cut
00:33:55on that line.
00:34:02That way
00:34:02I know that
00:34:03each piece
00:34:04is going to be
00:34:04spot on.
00:34:10And when you're
00:34:23doing architropes
00:34:24the most important
00:34:25part is to make
00:34:26sure that you use
00:34:27PVA glue
00:34:28on your mitre
00:34:29joins.
00:34:29That way
00:34:30it won't crack
00:34:31over time
00:34:31and it'll look
00:34:32like a professional
00:34:33finish.
00:34:40Look at that
00:35:03a perfect fit
00:35:04every time
00:35:05the easiest way
00:35:06to do architraves
00:35:07now
00:35:07I'll just use
00:35:08some filler
00:35:08fill in the nail holes
00:35:10give it a lick of paint
00:35:11and I have to say
00:35:12this window
00:35:12is the perfect
00:35:14masterpiece.
00:35:15I'll almost call
00:35:15myself
00:35:16Michelangelo.
00:35:17He was a painter
00:35:18wasn't he?
00:35:20Interior design
00:35:21seems to have become
00:35:22stuck playing it safe.
00:35:24I mean how much
00:35:24cream grey
00:35:25and white
00:35:25do you see around?
00:35:27Which is why
00:35:27I'm so excited
00:35:28to introduce you
00:35:29to one of my
00:35:29favourite designers
00:35:30Tigger Hall.
00:35:32Her vibrant decor
00:35:33and fabrics
00:35:33prove that classic
00:35:34style never goes
00:35:36out of fashion
00:35:36and it might just
00:35:37make you reconsider
00:35:38using colour and
00:35:39pattern
00:35:40in your own home.
00:35:48Hello Tigger
00:35:49I'm so thrilled
00:35:50to be here
00:35:50what an absolutely
00:35:51beautiful boutique.
00:35:53It's gorgeous
00:35:53to have you here.
00:35:54So much to look at
00:35:55though I wasn't sure
00:35:56where to start
00:35:56but this looks like
00:35:57a pretty good place.
00:35:58This is all our
00:35:59neapery
00:35:59that we've just
00:36:00had done really
00:36:01for the summer.
00:36:02Gorgeous designs
00:36:03and lovely colours
00:36:04and then I spotted
00:36:06this little lamp
00:36:07shade as well
00:36:07how gorgeous
00:36:08is this?
00:36:08Yeah no
00:36:09they're beautiful
00:36:09aren't they?
00:36:10We love the
00:36:10gathered lampshades
00:36:11lots of different colours
00:36:13really any pattern
00:36:14can be made
00:36:15into a gathered lampshade.
00:36:16And tell me
00:36:16about the cushions.
00:36:18I do a lot
00:36:18of the cushions
00:36:19with borders
00:36:20around them.
00:36:21All of these
00:36:22are hand painted
00:36:23originally.
00:36:24Sometimes we blow up
00:36:25the design on them.
00:36:28Oh they're so gorgeous
00:36:29but do you come up
00:36:30with every design?
00:36:31I do, I do.
00:36:32I can't stop painting
00:36:33I love it.
00:36:34Always doing something
00:36:35ideas are always
00:36:36in my head.
00:36:37It's all the way
00:36:37you want to do
00:36:39It's time to have
00:36:41a car for you
00:36:43So many gorgeous
00:36:45fabric swatches
00:36:46here of Tigger.
00:36:47You're a prolific
00:36:48designer.
00:36:48How many altogether
00:36:49would there be?
00:36:50I have a lot
00:36:51because I can't stop.
00:36:52What a great answer.
00:36:53I'm always in trouble.
00:36:54And yes
00:36:55I have so many
00:36:56inspirations
00:36:57and so many colours
00:36:59that I want to do
00:36:59so I'm always
00:37:00creating something new.
00:37:02This one is
00:37:03from the Amber Palace.
00:37:05It's the mirrored ceiling
00:37:06that I painted
00:37:07while I was there
00:37:08and always have
00:37:09a little sketchbook
00:37:10with me.
00:37:11This one is
00:37:11from the
00:37:12Udipo Palace.
00:37:14It's like a 14th century
00:37:15hand painted
00:37:16which I recreated.
00:37:18And yes
00:37:19lots of different
00:37:20designs from
00:37:20different places.
00:37:21What is the secret
00:37:22to getting
00:37:23and patterns
00:37:24to work together
00:37:25in a home?
00:37:25Because I know
00:37:25a lot of people
00:37:26are afraid of that.
00:37:27So what is your trick?
00:37:29So my trick
00:37:30and has always been
00:37:31as an interior designer
00:37:32which I was
00:37:34for 30 or 40 years
00:37:35is that
00:37:37you have to use
00:37:38the same hue
00:37:39or the same tone
00:37:40together.
00:37:40But if you
00:37:42get a sudden
00:37:43jolt of a different colour
00:37:44it goes bing
00:37:45and it makes you
00:37:46sit up.
00:37:47But with these
00:37:49if it's all
00:37:49in the same tone
00:37:50you'll feel
00:37:51very relaxed
00:37:52of the senses.
00:37:53so you can put
00:37:54in really
00:37:55sometimes 20 designs
00:37:57and you won't
00:37:57feel the jolt.
00:37:58I'd love to invite
00:37:59you back to my home
00:38:00so you can see
00:38:01the studio
00:38:02and where I
00:38:03create the textiles.
00:38:05Shall we go?
00:38:05I would love that.
00:38:06Thank you.
00:38:06Let's go.
00:38:07Let's go.
00:38:07What a gorgeous garden
00:38:19Tigger.
00:38:20Thank you.
00:38:20The wisteria
00:38:21and the camellias
00:38:22it is beautiful.
00:38:23I know
00:38:23and what a beautiful
00:38:24time for you to arrive.
00:38:25It's a great little house.
00:38:27We've done a lot.
00:38:28Bought it about
00:38:28five years ago
00:38:29and done masses
00:38:30in the garden
00:38:31and I've done
00:38:33things like
00:38:34buying salvage
00:38:35products
00:38:35because I love
00:38:36the hunt
00:38:37and the search
00:38:38for old
00:38:39second hand
00:38:39doors and things
00:38:40so everything
00:38:41in the house
00:38:42is second hand
00:38:44not new.
00:38:45It is so wonderful
00:38:46reusing things
00:38:47like that.
00:38:47I'd love to have
00:38:48a closer look.
00:38:49Yes welcome.
00:38:50Let's go in.
00:38:50Now this is a bit
00:39:01of fun Tigger.
00:39:01I love it.
00:39:02I remember I got
00:39:03in a lot of trouble
00:39:03painting the walls
00:39:04when I was little
00:39:05but this is a different
00:39:06story altogether.
00:39:07Oh so this is
00:39:08my little bit of whimsy.
00:39:13I did this
00:39:14one Sunday morning
00:39:15I woke up
00:39:16and I thought
00:39:16oh I'd love
00:39:17some wallpaper
00:39:18in here
00:39:19and I thought
00:39:19no I won't
00:39:20I'll just paint it
00:39:21so I think
00:39:22it's something
00:39:22that anyone can do
00:39:24it's very achievable
00:39:25no cost
00:39:26and yes
00:39:28I think it's great
00:39:29I'm going to add
00:39:29flowers to it
00:39:31and a bit more
00:39:31to it at some stage
00:39:32but it's just
00:39:33that sense of whimsy
00:39:34and freedom
00:39:35I think is really
00:39:36important in a house.
00:39:40This is my little
00:39:42little spot in here.
00:39:44What a room
00:39:44this high ceiling
00:39:46and the natural light
00:39:47and it feels so
00:39:48collected
00:39:48there are so many pieces
00:39:49I just want to explore
00:39:50and find out the story
00:39:52behind everything.
00:39:57I really feel
00:39:58this has actually
00:39:59brought everything
00:40:00that I believe in
00:40:02and my travels
00:40:03and it's got to be
00:40:04quite a lot of family
00:40:05things in here
00:40:05and it goes back
00:40:07to my philosophy
00:40:08of interior design
00:40:09is that we should be
00:40:10authentic to ourselves
00:40:11not all buying new things
00:40:13throwing out old things
00:40:15I've got things
00:40:16from my grandparents
00:40:17from my great grandparents
00:40:18so it's like a really
00:40:20special living history.
00:40:22I agree
00:40:22it's so important
00:40:23to tell your story
00:40:24and to show your personality
00:40:25through your decor
00:40:26and you've definitely
00:40:26done that.
00:40:34So come in
00:40:36this is our little room
00:40:37this is what I call
00:40:38the trillage room
00:40:39and I created
00:40:40this wallpaper
00:40:41to go here
00:40:43after I went
00:40:44to a very famous
00:40:45designer in Los Angeles
00:40:47called Tony Duquette
00:40:48and he has a trillage room
00:40:50and trillage really
00:40:51is just French
00:40:52for trellis.
00:40:59And it's like
00:41:00an inside outside room.
00:41:02And fabulous
00:41:02being on the ceiling
00:41:03as well as the walls
00:41:04and that trellis pattern
00:41:05really never goes
00:41:06out of style
00:41:07because my grandmother
00:41:07had this
00:41:08but in green
00:41:09and we called it
00:41:09the green room
00:41:10and it's just gorgeous.
00:41:11Yeah it always is.
00:41:12Anyway I'd love to
00:41:13now show you my studio.
00:41:15Would you like to come down?
00:41:15Oh I would love that
00:41:16and that is coming up shortly.
00:41:22The best thing is
00:41:23it's statewide friendly
00:41:24easy to mix
00:41:26and easy to use.
00:41:29Best part of this dish
00:41:31is
00:41:32smashing
00:41:33the cucumber.
00:41:37The best part of warm
00:41:39weather has to be
00:41:40outdoor entertaining
00:41:41enjoying food in the sunshine
00:41:42with family and friends.

00:42:09Korea has been
00:42:15a really popular
00:42:16destination lately
00:42:18and in our home
00:42:19the K-pop culture.
00:42:21So today
00:42:22I am going to
00:42:24take inspiration
00:42:25from that
00:42:26and make you
00:42:27my Gojujang
00:42:28chicken winglets
00:42:29and smash cucumber.
00:42:30Here I've got
00:42:411.5 kilos
00:42:43of chicken winglets.
00:42:45If you have
00:42:46a whole chicken wing
00:42:47just cut them
00:42:48at the joints.
00:42:50I am going to add
00:42:51paprika.
00:42:53What paprika does
00:42:54is just gives it
00:42:55another layer
00:42:56of flavour.
00:42:58I've got
00:42:59some chicken
00:43:00powder.
00:43:02It's basically
00:43:03chicken stock.
00:43:05Crush it
00:43:05into a powder.
00:43:07And then
00:43:08a quarter
00:43:09of a cup
00:43:10of corn flour.
00:43:11that's to just
00:43:13coat your
00:43:14chicken wings
00:43:15and give it
00:43:15a slight
00:43:16crisp on it.
00:43:22A sprinkle
00:43:23of salt.
00:43:24and that's done.
00:43:29I find
00:43:30using my hands
00:43:31the easiest
00:43:33way to make
00:43:34sure that
00:43:34all these
00:43:35chicken wings
00:43:36are coated.
00:43:38Now part 1
00:43:39that's done.
00:43:45I've got
00:43:46a baking tray
00:43:47lined
00:43:48with baking
00:43:49paper.
00:43:50It's just
00:43:50going to save
00:43:50you from
00:43:51washing up.
00:43:54and then
00:43:58we're going
00:43:58to put it
00:43:58in the oven
00:43:5930 to 40
00:44:00minutes

00:44:09Let's start

00:54:13Vậy đó là một lần nữa, và đó là một bộ đường, công trường để giúp nâng thống mình nhé.
00:54:27Hãy truy lên cả một trong số mô phía, và chỉ có thể xảy ra nó một chút trên.
00:54:32Các bạn có thể sẵn so với một quần nữa, nhưng nhận có một cách đem tổ chức mà cảm giúp chúng ta nhất là một số phát tố,
00:54:36cho những bộ đem do số.
00:54:43To stop our letterbox from being pulled through, I'm just using these L-brackets.
00:54:54They're riveted into the post box, but screwed into our posts.
00:55:01As well as the sleepers used for the letterbox, I've put three in this garden bed here.
00:55:06It helps to draw people through the garden, and it stops them feeling tokenistic.
00:55:13When you're planting up around a letterbox, you obviously don't want anything that's going
00:55:21to get too tall, otherwise you're never going to get the letters in.
00:55:23So I've got a ground-covering myoporum, which is going to spill over towards our front path.
00:55:27I've then got this amazing fragrant baronia, which just smells absolutely fantastic.

00:57:04We've been exploring the home of one of Australia's biggest interior designers, Tigger Hall.
00:57:20Now, we're taking a look at the space I am most excited about, Tigger's studio.
00:57:26So, here we are.
00:57:28Wow, Tigger, another incredible space.
00:57:30This studio really reflects you as an interior designer.
00:57:32Oh, thank you, and I think also my paintings.
00:57:35I've got my gorgeous paintings here, and on the wall, the funny plates.
00:57:43But this really is my happy place.
00:57:45This is more me, I think, than anything.
00:57:49Almost 20 years ago, Tigger started her own fabric collection, Nine Muses Textiles,
00:57:55inspired by her love of colour and travel.
00:57:57So, these are all the paintings, and how I start first, as you can see, is I paint the pomegranate,
00:58:11and there's one little print of it.
00:58:13That's a small scale, so we can make things big and small.
00:58:16That's a large-scale pomegranate.
00:58:18And this is a fun one to see in here.
00:58:22This is the paintings of the geranium fabric.
00:58:25These are gorgeous, and I'm sure people at home are wondering how you go from having this lovely artwork on the paper
00:58:31to it being on the fabric.
00:58:33So, what we do, we put it together.
00:58:36Sometimes I do it on a board like this, where I cut the individual pieces out,
00:58:40and once we have the file, then we can choose the colours and change the colours,
00:58:44change the scale and all of those things.
00:58:47So, you can see a little bit over here, there's some of my colours.
00:58:51So, I wanted to explain to you how I get all my colours.
00:59:06So, what I do, I choose the colours out of a great big blanket like this.
00:59:10We call it our colour blanket.
00:59:12And then I cut them out and plonk them onto bits of paper,
00:59:16so I can actually see where I'm going with the colours
00:59:20and making sure that they all work together.
00:59:23And I get a beautiful colour palette, and then I give it to the printer,
00:59:27and he puts it onto this colour blanket, and that becomes my Nine Muse colours.
00:59:32So, when I was talking earlier about everything working together,
00:59:35you can see that it doesn't matter what colour it is,
00:59:38they're all quite harmonious and tonally working together.
00:59:41But I really do believe that if you wake up in a room with the colour that you love,
00:59:45you'll feel really good and really happy all day.
00:59:48It has the power to change your emotions.
00:59:50It does, indeed.
00:59:51Everyone has a different colour.
00:59:53Yeah.
00:59:53And you were saying earlier that the fabric is actually sustainable?
00:59:56The fabric is from Belgium, and it's grown sustainably.
01:00:01It has every single green and clean code and medal that you can wish to have.
01:00:09So, it is completely organic and completely sustainable.
01:00:12And where we do the printing, it doesn't use any water.
01:00:16So, it's also very sustainable as well.
01:00:19Oh, just couldn't love the colours more.
01:00:21And I can see some of those beautiful colours over there in some paint.
01:00:24Can we have a little look at that?
01:00:26Yes, of course.
01:00:27Come over.
01:00:27So, Tiga, it is fascinating watching you with your beautiful watercolours,
01:00:47but it's almost like we've gone in reverse because we started in your boutique
01:00:50and now we're seeing the very beginning of your designs, where it all starts.
01:00:55Yes, exactly.
01:00:56This is the painting, and often I do it all, little things like this,
01:01:01and then it'll become a different sort of design.
01:01:04A lot of the inspiration is from nature and from flowers.
01:01:08This is the little potato plant that I'm doing here.
01:01:11And all of the colours, actually, as well, are from nature.
01:01:15This is the new collection that we've got here.
01:01:17And they look super bright, but they're really just from nature,
01:01:20so very easy to live with and really beautiful colours.
01:01:25The colour combinations you find in nature are never wrong.
01:01:28And where do people find you if they want to find out more about your designs?
01:01:32So, they can look online on Nine Muse Textiles or just come to Tiga Hall Design.
01:01:38They can always find us there.
01:01:39Fantastic.
01:01:40Well, I've absolutely loved every minute of today with you,
01:01:43and I'm sure lots of people at home will have been inspired
01:01:45to introduce some colour into their home.
01:01:48No more beige everywhere.
01:01:49Yes, I hope so, because it's a great thing to live with.
01:01:52Absolutely.
01:01:52It's amazing what masking tape can do.
01:02:05Now, I've got these two bits of timber,
01:02:07and I want to laminate them together.
01:02:08I'm going to be using nails to do that.
01:02:10Before I put my fixings in place,
01:02:13I'm going to put some tape down where I want to put my nails.
01:02:16Then I'll simply laminate it together.
01:02:20I'll get my punch.
01:02:25I'll punch my holes.
01:02:28You might think, Adam, why are you doing this for?
01:02:31Well, you would have seen me put plenty of fixings in on this show,
01:02:34and usually after I've made a hole in the timber, what do I do?
01:02:37I get my filler, and I patch it up with the filler.
01:02:41But what happens?
01:02:42The filler, well, it's bigger than the patch that I've actually made.
01:02:45So doing it this way, I can put my filler on,
01:02:48and then once I'm happy with the coverage,
01:02:51I can simply tear the tape off,
01:02:53and the filler is only in the hole, not over the whole board.
01:02:58That means there's less sanding for me to do,
01:03:00and I'm a very happy man.
01:03:01So who would have thought that just so much hard work goes on behind the scenes
01:03:09to produce something as simple as a glass of water?
01:03:12So cheers to the army who are helping keep us hydrated.
01:03:15I'll see you next week with more Better Homes and Gardens.
01:03:17Bye-bye.
01:03:17Next time, if you thought your dream home was a quarter-acre block
01:03:26and a white picket fence, then you've never seen this penthouse.
01:03:30I would be prepared to give up sleep forever
01:03:32if I could enjoy this view for 24 hours a day.
01:03:37Ah!
01:03:38Dr Harry meets a family who will change your view of farm life.
01:03:42Imagine having your own farm and you're 10 kilometres from the CBD.
01:03:49There are people who love plants, and then there's this guy.
01:03:53What, you've taken your hobby to a new level?
01:03:55Exactly that.
01:03:57Every deck deserves a solid foundation.
01:04:00You can't get better than concrete.
01:04:03A low-level deck can hide a multitude of sins.
01:04:07And Colin's really pushing the limits with this chocolate mousse.
01:04:11This is my avocado.
01:04:13I thought it was an avocado, but it was a chocolate dessert.
01:04:16That's next time on Better Homes and Gardens.
