Glad to hear that you are still holding your head above water. it appears that you picked a difficult site to work on, however you should come up with some tricks to use in dry country landcare and rehabilitation.

Hi! Greg, All points taken.
I too have spent a lot of time on research which has not returned the cost to me.
I am not a commercial farmer or a consultant. I have been on a disability pension for many years and do a bit of research and experimentation to give me something to keep me thinking. I have been replicating some of the experiments published in Acres USA and have corresponded with people such as Phil Calahan. I do own land but only run a few sheep for fire control and am gradually planting much of the two hundred acres to native trees as an environmental statement. There are no BD farms within 400 miles from where I live, in Port Lincoln, South Australia. Along with several other home gardeners, I bought in "real" Pres. for about five years of just did the home garden and an area to compare with the untreated areas. Then a couple of years ago, Hugh Lovel gave me a set of his cards, which I use mainly in making my compost. My health does not allow me to even grow enough food for my own use, but I enjoy the better quality of it, when grown by some form of BD.
I am currently experimenting growing reeds for use in controlling erosion in creek beds, in LandCare Programs. They want them in long "ropes" for easy planting.
Thank you for replying to my email.
