Andrew Koch
Prior to joining the Club in 2005, Andrew was an excellent grower of
orchids and specialised in Cymbidiums. He was always willing to
provide his time and knowledge to other members, in particular, new
members and novice growers. He was actively involved in the
Committee, organised our Popular Vote at monthly meetings and
assisted at all shows. He organized the transfer of our Autumn Show
to Tanunda and our Christmas Dinner Caterers and up until his health
problems over the last year, remained our club liaison person for both
the Autumn Show (where he organised sponsorship from Foodland
Tanunda) and our Christmas Dinner.
Following the passing on July 24th, he will be greatly missed by our
Club.

 General advice Time to get busy and take note of the jobs of potting and
division to be done. Sept and October are the best months
to work on the collection before the hot weather sets in.
Do you have small slugs and snails in your pots? Get a
cheap coffee grinder and grind up your snail pellets.
Sprinkle in the pot and water them in. Bite size for micro
slugs and the baits get right into where they hide.
