Dog Days of Summer So catching up on the past several months Kimbo ... bomb ... just climbing out of the shell hole? WAS Kimbo your alter ego?...
Fire and Drought Helen, I had no idea conditions are so bad in NSW. I just checked a news story on the drought that's showing areas that have...
Nice distinction. How are you doing, Helen? I need to read back through your posts and catch up.
Beautiful music!
Interesting! I had no idea cattle would eat vetiver. The leaves seem too sharp-edged and hard.
I dunno, KiwiInOz, I'm as afraid of damaging myself with a falling tree as of the chainsaw. I usually get help if I need to remove a large tree.

The cattle who are there now belong to my neighbor, so I don't harvest them. I eat the pigs and deer, who are harvested by some friends of mine...
My advice is to go somewhere you'll be appreciated. If you're looking for a urban area, consider Austin, Texas, where the local Permaculture...
More pix: This is a close-up shot of the neighbor's land. It's really sad. Dust-bowl kind of stuff. [ATTACH] For purposes of comparison,...
