On the show today: Gardening Hour sees Olympia and Paul Plant discuss coir fibre and its various applications. Paul tells us what plants thrive from its use and why it is much preferred over peat moss. Paul also answers your questions about expanding edible sources in the garden, growing poinsettia from cuttings and if epsom salts can help improve soil and tackling yellowing leaves. PLUS Paul introduces his plant of the week: edible Rosemary! A classic Mediterranean plant with many mythological meanings and a fragrance that can be divisive.

In the second hour; today is World Elder Abuse Day. Helen Wallace from the Caxton Community Legal Centre calls in to discuss the different types of abuse experienced by elderly people and the signs to watch out for for yourself and loved ones.
Elsewhere, the Scenic Rim Clydesdale Spectacular 2024 is on this weekend! Greta Stanfield calls in to tell us all about the stars expected from the UK, USA and across Australia, and your chance to experience harness making, blacksmithing, horse-drawn demonstrations, competitions and more!
