The magazine you’re holding in your hands is an historic one. This is the last monthly issue of Home; from now on, South Africa’s No. 1 home and garden magazine will only be published eight times a year. While I write this with a heavy heart, I’m still full of hope and have plenty of plans up my sleeve. Because I’m a glass-half-full type of person. I’d rather be part of the solution than part of the problem. And as much as our enthusiastic, creative and hard-working team would have liked to continue putting together 12 monthly issues of this beautiful magazine each year, the Covid-19 pandemic has also hit us hard. Like so many other magazines. The good news is: it’s far from over! And in addition to these…

THE HOMEOWNER Gill Staniland WHERE Hill Top Farm, Baardskeerdersbos SIZE 50m² Her colleagues call her the “plastic police” but she likes to refer to herself as a green warrior. Because Gill Staniland of Baarskeerdersbos believes that one should tread lightly on Mother Earth, even when it comes to your place of residence. So three years ago, she decided to build a hemp house on a 7ha plot of land that she had already acquired in 2014. And it’s not just the building method that’s ‘green’; thanks to water tanks, solar panels and gas, this little hideaway is completely independent of municipal services. “My total municipal bill is just R150 a month as I only have to pay inheritance tax,” Gill explains. Even though her home is tiny, it creates a…

WHO LIVES HERE? Dieter and Laura Matzner, their daughter Lara and two Schnauzers, Peppie and Mannetjie WHERE Menlo Park, Pretoria SIZE 440m² For many years, Laura Matzner fostered a keen interest in an extremely run-down house in her neighbourhood. She even Googled the property and began dreaming about what she would do if it belonged to her. The home, however, was not for sale. But then in 2012 the property was unexpectedly put up for auction. With their kids now out of school, Laura and hubby Dieter suddenly had different needs. Laura, an interior designer who doesn’t shy away from a building project, was keen to take on a new challenge and Dieter, a mechanical engineer, was eager to build an energy-saving house, something he had been interested in for…

WHO LIVES HERE? Andrew and Karin Yates WHERE Knysna SIZE 10m² When Andrew and Karin Yates think back on the devastating fire that swept through Knysna and surrounds in 2017, a sense of relief overwhelms them. It was a miracle their own home wasn’t destroyed. However, the blaze did completely ravage a freestanding log cabin on their 10-hectare plot, where guests would usually stay. Many trees were also turned to ashes. “With the beautiful forest surrounds gone, we wanted to make sure that our new guest space was something really special,” says Andrew, a retired mechanical engineer. And special it is! Instead of a cabin, he decided to build a gypsy wagon. “I thought the quirky design, an authentic replica of a real gypsy caravan, would be a fun surprise…

Sowing plan for spring Early September Sow beetroot, carrots, cabbage, lettuce, peas, spinach and Swiss chard which germinate at cooler soil temperatures. Sowing tip For fine carrot seed such as ‘Cape Market’ (developed specifically for South African conditions), sow row by row, using a funnel made from a sheet of paper to help distribute the seeds more evenly. Mid-September Sow bush and runner beans, and bush squash. Sowing tip Green beans germinate best when two or three beans are sown together in a hole. Make a bean teepee by tying three canes together (or string for training upwards) and sow the heirloom runner bean ‘Lazy Housewife’ at the base to climb upwards. The kids will love it. End September Sow tomato, brinjal, chilli, sweet pepper, mealie, pumpkin, melon and other…

New in nurseries The star of the show Calibrachoa ‘Good Night Kiss’ is vivid and luminous with bright rose-pink blooms featuring a dark, burgundy throat and five yellow lines forming a star in the centre. Also known as the trailing petunia for its small, petunia-like flowers, this new release in the Cabaret series grows into a well-rounded plant that amply fills containers and large hanging baskets. Flowering is from spring to autumn and is not affected by midsummer heat. They like plenty of sun, well-drained soil and regular watering, especially if planted in a hanging basket. Feed with a diluted liquid fertiliser every few weeks throughout the blooming season.

• Compile a scrapbook or moodboard of ideas you find in magazines or online. This will help your landscape designer to get an idea of your thoughts and desires. • Make sure that what you do will be sustainable and that your lifestyle, time and finances can maintain it. The biggest tragedy is that initial ideas fail due to a lack of ongoing maintenance, full-time attention and sufficient funds for both. • Even if your garden requires little maintenance, it still needs to be looked after. • Make sure you know what the plants’ growth habits are and what your designer had in mind so that you can take care of them. Often, plants are forced to grow in a certain space and then one needs to prune them intensively…

• Decide how much time you have to spare for working in your food garden. If you don’t have much time, rather grow fewer vegetables that you can care for properly, and expand a little each year. • Make a compost heap before you start. Good compost is the key to a successful organic vegetable garden. • Wait until you’re sure there won’t be any more frost before planting or sowing out in the open. Start off your seedlings in July on a warm, sunny windowsill. • Plant the vegetables from north to south – low-growing ones on the northerly side of the bed and taller ones or those on a framework on the southerly side. The taller plants then won’t block the sun from the lower growers. In summer,…

Deon de Goede, Home’s DIY guru, tells you how to build a raised wooden bed: Use any sturdy leftover planks for your planter; pallets are ideal. Decide how deep you want to make the planter. If your soil is fertile enough, even just one plank about 10cm high will work. 1 Cut the planks to the desired length and treat them with Super Laykold or any other waterproof paint to protect them from moisture. 2 For the long sides, lay the number of planks you need for your desired height next to each other, then glue and screw a single vertical post to each end. For the short sides, glue and screw the planks at a right angle to the long sides to form a frame. Tip To make pointed…

The wonderful advantage of a pap tart is that you can adjust the ingredients and quantities to suit what you have in the pantry. Substitute the fried mushrooms with chunks of sweet pepper, leave out the corn or replace the biltong with crispy bacon... The choice is yours! Here’s my interpretation of reader Monique Eksteen’s masterpiece. PAP • 1L water • 5ml sea salt flakes • 500ml maize meal • 60ml soft butter • 1 tin (400g) corn kernels, drained TOPPING • 1 tin (400g) braai relish or tomato and onion relish • 200g button mushrooms, chopped and fried • about 350–500ml cream • 250ml grated cheese • a handful wet biltong (optional) 1 Bring the water and salt to the boil; whisk in the maize meal. Reduce the heat and simmer until the maize meal thickens. I like to…

An old Beatles song about a blackbird using its broken wings to “fly off into the light of a deep dark night” has been churning in my head for days on end. I live alone. I work alone too and have endured my second round of self-isolation – meaning solitary confinement. It took great effort to retain some grip on normality during those lonely weeks. I tried adhering to some sort of structured routine. And mostly I managed, but there were days that sloppily slipped one into the other. On the good days, I faithfully attend to the smaller rituals of life: rising with the dawn alarm, forcing myself to make the bed, shower, do my hair and put some colour on my lips. I stroke the dog’s ears and…

WINNING LETTER In the garden Dawid Sekgoro of Kimberley writes My love for gardening comes from my childhood; my uncle worked at a nursery and he would call me to come and help him because he believed I had green fingers. When I started my own garden nine years ago, there was only a shack on a barren piece of land. Fortunately, it had good red soil. I started by collecting stones and bricks for the layout. I didn’t buy any plants; I planted cuttings. My neighbour had a leaking tap where grass grew and I started replanting the grass. The size of my garden is 14 x 11m. I use empty paint buckets for pot plants and my neighbours have also started collecting paint buckets for me. My favourite…

Bedroom beauty In this guest suite at Galashiels Lodge in Stanford, owner Rosalind Nale created a fabulous fabric focal point with a colourful cherub-and-roses print that turns an ordinary bed into a showstopper. “The angels and roses are a tribute to my mother Gill, who passed away in 2017,” says Rosalind. “She adored flowers and fervently believed in guardian angels. When I saw this beautiful linen fabric at a décor shop in Cape Town, I knew it would be perfect.” Taking advantage of the extra-high ceiling, Rosalind used wooden cladding at headboard height all around the room as a functional decoration that not only ties the space together but also serves as an actual headboard and provides a solution to rising damp in this old heritage home. “We stripped the…

“The use of hemp in the construction industry has great job creation potential and reduces the carbon footprint of this industry as a whole,” says Wolf Wolf of Wolf + Wolf Architects. Not many builders are familiar with hemp as a building material but it is simple to work with.” • Hemp is non-toxic, fire-resistant, provides excellent insulation and is carbon-negative – which means it does not release harmful carbon into the atmosphere. • The crop grows quickly and doesn’t require much water. About one hectare of hemp can produce up to 8 tons of hurd – enough building material for a 50m2 house like Gill’s. • It regulates internal humidity by preventing condensation when it is cold outside but warm inside. • It doesn’t rot or get mouldy. •…

In the 30 years that Cheryl and Trevor Button have lived in their house in Bantry Bay in Cape Town, they’ve accumulated many hand-me-down items of furniture, trinkets, kitchenware, clothing, books and toys. “There was just too much of everything!” exclaims Cheryl. “We had to create space by getting rid of our mismatched furniture and various pieces passed on by friends and family. I wanted to be free of all this clutter and keep only the items that we use and that hold meaning for our family.” With the help of our declutter experts Carin Smith and Jani Augustyn-Goussard, Cheryl identified a spot in the corner of her living room in which to create a multipurpose space where she can both sew and work on her computer. Jani, a colour…

Linda Pietersen of Cape Town writes I’d love to know more about this jug and what it’s worth. Can you help? Ainsley Taylor of Stephan Welz & Co. replies Moorcroft art pottery has been sought after by collectors worldwide since 1897 when William Moorcroft, the art pottery designer for an English company called Macintyre’s, first began producing wares for prestigious stores such as Harrods, Liberty of London and Tiffany’s in New York. After winning a gold medal at the St Louis Exhibition in 1904 for his Art Nouveau-style ‘Florian Ware’, sales of his wares increased significantly and in 1913, with backing from Liberty, he opened his own company. The company’s reputation was further enhanced when William was appointed ‘Potter to HM the Queen’ in 1928. In addition to rich colours…

Mary Coetzer of Centurion writes We’ve adopted a kitten from an animal shelter; any advice on how to make her feel at home? Dr Roxanne Jones, veterinarian and owner of online pet care portal zuki.co.za, replies Your kitty is likely to feel a little out of sorts in her new environment. Here are a few things you can do to help her feel happy and secure: Don’t rush it A six-week-old kitten might be adorable, but it’s far too early for her to be separated from her mom and siblings. If possible, wait until she’s at least eight or 10 weeks old. Mommy cats help to socialise their babies and teach them vital skills like litter box usage. Smell is extremely important to cats; if possible, bring the blanket she’s…

Curling leaves Joanne White of Durban North writes The young leaves of my ‘VLV Kaapland’ rose are crinkling and smaller than usual. What is causing the damage? Ludwig replies It is most likely aphids and thrips that have come out of winter hibernation. Careful inspection should reveal tiny aphids on the buds or underneath the leaves. However, the type of thrips that has become prevalent in roses in recent years is virtually invisible in the larvae stage. The adult thrips lay their eggs further down the stems beneath the bark. When the larvae hatch, they move upwards to the new leaves and puncture and suck them out from the underside, causing this curling and deformation. Once they have reached the bud they mature to the adult stage and immediately start…

WHO LIVES HERE? Corniel Venter WHERE Kruis Farm, Montagu SIZE OF GARDEN About 1 500m² TYPE OF SOIL Clay with shale From the Keisie Valley all the way towards the Waboomsberg mountains – this is Corniel Venter’s glorious view from the stoep of her cottage. Wrapped around her house on three sides, this stoep also allows her to follow the sun as the seasons change on the farm Kruis outside Montagu. “It all depends on whether the wind is blowing and where the sunshine is best,” she says. After her husband’s death in 2011, Corniel’s son Pieter moved to the main homestead on their citrus farm and took over the management of the property. Two years later, Corniel relocated to a once run-down labourer’s cottage on the farm. “One day…

“We mainly used indigenous plants but here and there we also used plants that create a Karoo feel, such as the Australian rosemary (Westringia fruticosa),” explains Jan. • The main stalwarts are dune crow-berry (Searsia crenata), wild rosemary (Eriocephalus), salt bush (Einadia hastata syn. Rhagodia hastata), vygies, bush violet (Barleria obtusa), blue sage (Salvia africana), rough blue sage (S. chamelaeagnea), krantz aloe (Aloe arborescens), bitter aloe (A. ferox), Cape red-hot poker (Kniphofia uvaria), plumbago (Plumbago auriculata), Cape honeysuckle (Tecomaria capensis), statice (Limonium perezii), camphor bush (Tarchonanthus camphoratus), ground morning glory (Convolvulus sabatius), jade plant (Crassula ovata), fountain grass (Pennisetum spp.) for contrast, Carex grasses for texture, Cape thatching reed, and Kei apple (Dovyalis caffra) and big num-num (Carissa macrocarpa) which both bear fruit for the birds. • Parrot beak (Lotus…

There are many vegetables that thrive in pots and containers: tomatoes, spinach, lettuce, carrots, radishes, beans and chillies. Many herbs, such as parsley, basil, thyme, origanum, lavender and rosemary, also do well in pots. “Place the containers in a sunny spot, preferably near your kitchen, where you can easily harvest the plants. Lavender and rosemary need large pots; for other herbs small to medium-sized pots will work. Parsley or rocket can even be grown in a small pot on a windowsill.” Karen says a lemon tree and several other fruit trees are also suitable for a large pot. “A tree will only grow as big as you allow it to,” she says. “Prune it so that it stays small enough for the pot and where the pot is situated.”…

WHO Wilmie Smith WHERE Cape Town BUSINESS Mathilde & Amélie HER WORK Mathilde & Amélie was born as a result of Wilmie’s lifelong love of crafts, knitting, embroidery and needlework. “When I came across textiles, tapestries, lace and handwork at brocantes (flea markets) during the 10 years I lived in France, I was struck by their quality and imagined the many long hours devoted to these nostalgic items,” Wilmie recalls. “I developed a desire to restore dignity to these neglected but once fashionable objects and to renew them as items that could be useful, decorative…

The right rug Christel du Preez of Cape Town writes My living room needs something to ‘tie it all together’, like a rug. But I have no idea where to start! For example, what should I consider when it comes to size, design, material, texture and colour? Please help! Wouter le Roux of Hello Charlie Interior Design Studio replies Rugs are a great solution when it comes to bringing furniture, and a look, together. They can also create spatial definition between dining and living areas in an open-plan room where furniture has a tendency to ‘float’. Here are some tips on choosing the right rug: 1 Proportion and size is key Avoid a ‘floating rug’ look: it should sit under the front legs of a sofa and occasional chairs to connect…

COLOUR FOR SUMMER Now is the time to sow annuals such as alyssum, bedding dahlia, sunflower, impatiens, lobelia, marigold, portulaca and zinnia to provide abundant colour in the garden over the coming summer months. Trees of life The value of trees as sources of beauty, building material, food and medicine, and the important role they play in the environment cannot be underestimated. Arbor Week (1–7 September) is celebrated every September to highlight the role that communities, homeowners, businesses, organisations and schools can play by donating and planting trees. The two ‘Trees of the Year’ for 2020, chosen as part of the Arbor Week celebrations, are baobab (Adansonia digitata) and Cape ash (Ekebergia capensis). [ TIPS FOR TREE PLANTING ] • Select the right size tree; one that does well in…

An unsightly problem Elanza de Waal of Malmesbury writes I have ivy right around the front part of my yard. On one side it is lovely and green but the front part suddenly started to die. Must I remove the whole plant? No new leaves are sprouting and some stems look dead – they break off easily, while others seem to still have life in them and don’t break off. JJ replies Sometimes ivy gets infected with a fungus that damages the plant. Treat it with Mycoguard, prune off the damaged leaves and feed with 7:1:3 fertiliser. Your ivy will soon grow strongly again. Listen to JJ’s gardening tips and tricks on Derrich Gardner’s show Brekfis met Derrich at 07:40 every Saturday on RSG.…

Jan Hagen offers advice: • Although thorn trees have a tap root system, be careful if there are shale or rock substrates, as well as clay, present in your soil. The tap root then grows sideways and can damage structures such as walkways, steps and foundations. • Fiddle leaf fig (Ficus lyrata) and rubber plant (Ficus elastica) are popular houseplants but when the plants get too big, people often transplant them into the garden. These become huge trees, especially the rubber plant, which can cause countless problems with their invasive root systems. • Tickey creeper (Ficus pumila) is popular for covering walls but it can cause a problem when it starts to grow into the smallest cracks. • People also like to plant the Indian laurel fig (Ficus nitida) because…

WHO LIVES HERE? David and Karen McEwan and their kids Lisa (7) and Andrew (5) WHERE Fairfield Farm, Middelburg, Eastern Cape SIZE OF VEGGIE GARDEN 35 x 40m2 TYPE OF SOIL Sandy Karen McEwan wasn’t daunted by her lack of knowledge or experience in growing vegetables when she started her food garden on their farm in Middelburg in the Eastern Cape. “We got married in 2009, after which I moved to the farm. As a trained chef, I initially offered cooking classes and food demos and also did catering in the surrounding towns. After my eldest was born, I started my veggie garden – largely to feed my family with organic produce,” says Karen. “In the first year, the harvest was incredible. I couldn’t believe what grew in that dry…

A raised bed is not only more convenient for gardening and harvesting, it is also beneficial if your soil is not very fertile. Wooden boxes are ideal, but Karen simply uses old tractor tyres. • If your planter is directly on the ground and does not have a base, put a few layers of wet newspaper underneath and then a piece of cardboard. The paper and cardboard suppress weed growth and earthworms like to lay eggs in this layer of paper. • Sprinkle a coarse layer of well-rotted leaves or hay on top of the cardboard. Fill the box with rich compost. • If your planter has a base, start with a layer of coarse dry bark, wood chips, sticks or manure. Follow the same method as above.…
