OK dude. Land the spaceship, remove the tinfoil helmet and strap yourself into your chinese-made computer chair.

You said you gave your Moringa lots of water and the occasional urine. If you like,...

Put your money where your mouth is, Len.

Less talk, more action. The amount of time you spend on your diatribes, I reckon we would have this climate change thing sorted.

ALS: I posted that...

And while stuff gets cleared, thousands more re-seed.

I've planted at least 30 Leucaena, 30 Popcorn Cassia, 1 Drunken Parrot, 50 Vetiver, 25 Dianella, 25 Lomandra, 1 Albizia, Canna/Tumeric/Ginger,...

Thanks for sourcing, finch. I originally out millions in my post but was worried about being incorrect so downgraded it. I'm so happy to see that the numbers are in the billions and not hundreds of...

I'm thinking aquaponics as a biomass and companion plant grower, with a smattering of sensitive plants that need regular watering.

The growth rates are astounding compared to other methods.

Have we all gone insane?

Infrasound? Yeah, right. Proven wrong.

Bird deaths? Something like 200 a year vs in the hundreds of thousands for cats.

Don't believe that crap.

But again, the minerals that mycorrhizae are adapted to harvest may not be present in poo and a monoculture of substrate.

This was just expanding on sweetpea's post.

I'm reminded about the...

Yeah, some. Definitely not the whole gamut of soil minerals though. What about mycorrhizal relationships too, exchanging minerals with fungi?

I'm not saying anything negative about aquaponics,...

Missing minerals that are present in soils.

Also missing contaminants too.

And I suppose some soils have too many minerals, or not enough, or the wrong type, so we are doomed whichever way we...

You share in the 'Hello from South Carolina' thread, and thankfully I'm subscribed and haven't missed too much. It's basically become Eco's blog too.

Good to see that you sorted your issues and...

Again, if you are doing broadscale, those three things are very important. That, time and money.

In a Keyline-sense (and I'm not a practitioner), swales are mostly slightly graded diversion...

Look at that leaf litter:

matto knows about Keyline, and from what I read, it would make a great investment, even if you try and form a collective to invest in it.

It's always appropriate. And Markos will probably chime in from a 'planner' perspective too.

Except for the word 'Drainage'. 'Infiltrator' would be a better word?

I don't have any, plus it would be hard to make out.

I can explain though: Contour measured and staked. 7-tine broad fork (Gundaroo Tiller) into a decomposed granite soil. First line on contour,...

I've attempted a broadfork dual-line punch across a Bunyip-measured contour standing above the the line and pulling the soil up. Makes a mini-mound, with gaping holes in it. Plan is to put Vetiver...

Look for Section 3 but it's not exactly what you are after.

I cried a little.

Condolences to friends and family.

Tragic.

It's the Government's fault for not restoring power fast enough?

I've spent the past 5 days working 12 hour shifts, leaving the house at 345am to cut our way through thousands of trees to help...
