Qld: Nursery operators welcome level five changes
It's about to get tougher for nursery operators in Queensland .. as the south-east
moves to level five watering restrictions next Tuesday.
And the head of the Nursery and Garden Industry Association DONALD SCOTTS says he'll
keep lobbying the state government for an exit package for those who'll be forced to close
down as consumer demand shrinks.
But Mr SCOTTS has welcomed the decision to allow people to hand water their gardens
three afternoons a week .. rather than the originally suggested two mornings.
He says plants can survive on morning frost or dew moving into winter .. but they need
a drink in the afternoon.
From Tuesday .. odd-numbered houses can use watering cans or buckets to water their
gardens from 4pm to 7pm (AEST) on Tuesday .. Thursday .. and Saturday .. while even-numbered
houses can do so on Wednesday .. Friday .. and Sunday.
