spare a thought for Sar Lanka, with a famine over there, some countries are in food shortage.

Nut grass is my worst weed, keeping it out of water melons coming is going to be a challenge.

Tomatoes a bit slow

Carrots doing OK

The corn patch so far

To save money the old 4m rotary by Hills was modified and cut down to fit under the 3m roof area of the deck, so some arms look a bit not square, in case you are wondering.

What the landscaping effect look like from the back, that tree is a 120yr old avocado in full blossom.

The clothes line is part of the deck, and under roof as well. No more bindi, no falling clothes, no getting wet clothes, easy to hang clothes, no sunburn. Clothes do not fade from excessive UV. The rotary clothes line turns the easy reach out over the deck to a higher place.

I have been working on a cat walk to a laundry deck for Diane.

@portlandbeer@neotxt.dk Do you have a link to his off grid, would love to see….

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org They live in burrows in the compost

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Mice is the worse, they keep eating my seeds and making me lose my corn plants.

Assuming the wire netting lasts 10 years, that costs $300 per year, and the compost fertilizer lasts 3 years, that costs $1000 per year, my veggie and fruit food forest only has to produce $25 of food per week. is this achievable? I reckon. We will see.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks Son, hope it produces OK. We will see in 12 weeks time

And watermelon, rockmelon and pumpkin seedlings too

Trusty hoe that dug the corn rows

View of other side
rain makes things look fresh

Notice the wire reo mesh that cost me 1000 for allow tomatoes to grow over them, I reckon we have 150 tomatoes in already, about 60m of trellis

The garden and fruit trees are big

My wife Diane and myself ate our first bounty of fruit, large golf ball sized lotus fruit. Nice.

The next gate into new paddock, chooks will have one paddock for 6 months as the veggies grow in one paddock and than the other

More corn plants,

View of corn plants

The rows of corn are 15m long,
special soil made for carrots, 30cm of loamy sand

The garden is big, main entry

I lost over 50 corn seedlings due to mice eating the seeds, as the empty hole shows.

I plant the veggies into the rich compost, that cost me 3000 dollars.

Finished the garden shed wiring, took over 250 man hours to do or 36 days. Now I start the growing the veggies, the garden shed houses fruit trees as well as veggies.

THis stuff is very smelly, and gardeners love the smell, like horse manure and compost rolled into one. Notice the beg tent circus affect of the enclosure

Explosive growth on trees after only 2 days receiving the new manure

Big pile of manure

40 wheelbarrows later

Finished wiring up the big shed, only have the doors to do, covered with blankets for now to keep birds out.

Attached some pictures of the new compost I am wheelbarrowing in, some far I have down 90 loads, over 2 days. About another 40 wheelba

rrows to go.

You should see the explosive growth in two days with the new manure.

I did achieve the 1 volt drop carrying 80 Amps I wanted to achieve but only for a few hours, it melted.

Built this weird 8 1 ohm parallel resistors and fried one of them. It got too hot handling 1 volt at 10 amps each, 10 Watts gets hot after a while.

Up to the side of the wire netting orchard shed

I went to a Taxation bloke the other day, he couldn’t help me fill in my Capital Gains Schedule, as he only knows how to fill in Excel Spreadsheet numbers on his own format…..so I had to do the Tax myself, but he did give me one clue…. Arrh those excel formulas, often ½ page long.

Biogas, yes I looked at many videos on this. The one shown uses animal manure, where do you get huge quantities of that from? I am more interested in digesting dry grass, and found this too is possible. Not sure of the yield potential.

This person uses music frequencies to explode cancer cells apart…. interesting research.

nice :)

About ½ way through the wire netting process
