Hello Kyle,

There is a remarkable section as part of Bill Mollison's presentation called 'GLOBAL GARDENER' on exactly your type of situation, you can find them on youtube. He discusses both the...

I do not see how you can keep 10 horses on that little land and not have already destroyed the pasture and a lot of the topsoil. I believe it would take many months to rehabilitate the pastures...

Loved the 'faxes' thing, not often a typo can make one smile :p

Anyway, 8 chooks on 1/4 acre is great. Chooks are really proficient at finding so much of their supplemental requirements such as...

Check out Damara Sheep, they are not little but a fabulous breed to own.

Meghan,

The best way to raise organic healthy chicks is letting their mother feed them. Beyond this, if you have purchased babies then you have to replicate what their mother does. In this...

I own Damara sheep in the dry tropics.. ie they go from wet season and mud nearly straight into drought on an annual basis. I now have a flock of 25 which is self-sustaining on our property and...

Sounds more like weevils than anything else that I can think of. They were probably on/in the seed when you planted them.

Hi Allie,

Goats are real characters and are fun and can be very hard work. I wouldnt be too concerned about which breed.

Have a look around the district there are sure to be goats and visit...

Sun burn,

It is very suitable for the wet tropics. Naturally hemp fibres were fairly insect resistant and they can also be quite water resistant. Still many of the international trader type...

Greenmama,

Your comment about ex-boyfriends had me chuckling for ages!!.

You do make a good point about location. I could see circumstance whereby a cat would be a useful addition in a...

Very generous of you 8.

Would definitely suit someone who is heading north for a few months even.

Cheers,

Teela,

I had forgotten something. One of the reasons I picked Damaras is because about 2 years ago I happened to be driving thru Forbes, NSW when the sheep sales were on. Two reasons I always...

Cannot watch the video on this computer but I will view it at home..

Callum,

Dunno about graphing posts of posts. I have been on this forum for about 9 years but somehow appear as a newbie now [which is of no matter]. The biggest subject matters and threads have...

pippimac,

Firstly, I am not a cheese maker but have at times past assisted two people. I would think the rennet will still work if it has been stored properly but with anything like cheese it all...

I can't say I have ever had an egg-eater that was free range ie, running round the garden. This is worth a try and has been successful for me. This is NOT de-beaking which is a commercial operation....

Any mention of cats on a permie forum, especially in Australia, will be divisive. Personally,...

If the plant is a 'new' one and you are in the subtropics it will take about a year to produce a bunch of bananas and then a further while for the fruit to develop. Variety matters but most bananas...
