You've made some good selections. I've been told that Lomandras are great for taking phosphorus out of the soil and I've also noticed in my garden that my proteaceae plants growing near <a href="http://www.gardeningnativeplants.com/eremophilas/" rel="nofollow">eremophilas</a> aren't showing any signs of <a href="http://www.gardeningnativeplants.com/phosphorus-toxicity/" rel="nofollow">phosphorus toxicity</a>. Also remember all of these plants are fairly <a href="http://www.gardeningnativeplants.com/make-your-drought-tolerant-plants-more-drought-tolerant/" rel="nofollow">drought tolerant</a> and will eventually survive on rainfall but they will need some extra water to get them through their first summer.

I will keep you posted on how they go and am aware of your advice about keeping an eye on the phosphorous toxicity. i have not yet tested my soil PH but i have fanatastic sandy loam under the mulch then clay here in Rowville. hi mike,
