Steve, I am back on line after a wonderful 3 weeks in India. Will be writing a report soon, but lets just tempt you with the fact that BD is going great in India. Highly innovative, making soil out of desert and rock and producing delicious BD food. Working on all types of produce, from vanilla, pepper, paddy rice, sugar cane, coconuts,cocao, bananas, papaya, cotton, dairy, tropical fruits, coffee, tea, vegetables and herbs plus working with peasant farmers in native villages in very poor country. Peter Proctor has done a fantastic job getting them all started, and now they are up and running their own week long workshops many times a year. They have scientists doing work on the BD preps and composts etc, have written their own Planting Calendar and even have a group growing the prep plants, making the preps and packing and distributing the BD preps. The local farmers are coming to their doors wanting to learn how to grow this new way, for they can see the results. We have made a video - so will have lots to discuss soon. Re your friend coming - see my contact info below, ask her to ring and we will work something out. I will be in Queensland next week for 2 weeks, doing workshops, and in Brisbane on 17th for a Home Gardeners Workshop, so if she is there then we may be able to connect.
