About Me
I'm from a farming background with horticultural training and enjoy all the benefits of growing food. My Horticultural training taught me to drown everything in chemical just in case there may have been a bad bug or fungus lurking around. (Thank the Universe that that mind set is now changing somewhat). I have since done a number of Permaculture Coarses and apply these principles to my growing and life generally.

Hi Chris and Jo

Sorry we will not be at the Xmas party at your place as we will be on holidays in Tasmania. Visiting the grandchildren.

If you are over our way before then I have some plants for Jo and we have in-floor tile grates we thought you may be able to use in the bathroom of your new house.
