POTTED COURTYARD WITH JASON

If you live in the inner city, chances are you don't have a beautiful, sprawling garden -courtyards are notoriously difficult areas to create one. Space is a huge challenge, but Joh and Jason team up to revamp this concrete jungle in no time!


GARDENING (GRAHAM)
HOUSE CALL AT BEACON HILL

Graham's on a mission to save a garden - from itself! He shows three bachelors who are short on time some handy tricks of the trade to tidy up the yard and maintain beautiful plants all year round - perfect if your garden's looking a little out of control!

GARDENING (GRAHAM)
SOIL IMPROVERS, MULCH RING & DWARF WATTLE

Starting at ground level is extremely important and, while the beds are a bit bare, it's a good time to look at ways to improve your soil. Plus Graham will show you a nifty way to mulch trees growing in rass, and take a look at his Plant of the Week; a native shrub that's actually a dwarf wattle - the Acacia cognata "Limelight".

DIY (ROB)
THE WALL

This is wall panelling with a twist that you don't want to miss! Rob uses the beauty of timber to revamp an old wall and add some handy shelving. It looks great and, best of all, you can do it in just one weekend!

PETS (DR HARRY)
BORDER IN THE BED

This week Dr Harry meets a border collie who won't sleep anywhere but on the bed with his soon-to-be-married owners! Erin thinks it's time Ben found his own place to sleep (that's the dog, not the fiancé!), especially with an expensive new bed on the way. Dr Harry has a couple of tricks up his sleeve to solve this one!

PETS (DR HARRY)
DOGS AND SAFE PLAY

Many dogs love to play fetch - its great fun and excellent exercise. But, this game can actually cause injuries to our pets. Dr Harry offers up some sound advice to make sure all dogs play safe. These tips will cover how to play fetch safely, the best toys to use, and a few tips to get your dog started!

DECORATING (TARA)
DE-CLUTTER

It's only natural to feel slightly overwhelmed when you start a home redecorating project. After all, the choices ahead of you are virtually limitless! Tara has received a letter from a couple who have little money and are not sure where to start in reorganising and redecorating their room. They need to reduce clutter and create a sense of space on a budget and Tara is going to show them how!

FAST FOOD (ED)
AUSTRALIAN RED GRAPEFRUIT TARTS

Classically produced as lemon tartlets, these delicate French-style treats are wonderfully re-worked using sweet-sour red grapefruits. They'll add colour and panache to your next dinner party!

COOKING (KAREN)
ITALIAN SAUSAGE BOLOGNAISE

Spaghetti bolognaise is dish that everyone has tried at some stage. But Karen has a secret ingredient that will make your bolognaise sauce more flavoursome than ever - pork sausages!

DECORATING BETTER IDEA (TARA)
RETRO CUSHION COVERS

Tara's got a clever way to re-use old scarves and tea towels that you thought would never again see the light of day - turn them into cushion covers!

DIY BETTER IDEA (ROB)
BASIC TOOL KIT

Take a walk down the many aisles of your local hardware store and you'd be forgiven for being completely bamboozled by all the different products! Rob puts together a basic toolkit with the essential items for the home handyman or woman.
