Pest management
The pest-control is getting an upgrade around here.
Planting trees
Any day you get to plant a tree is a good day. And I’ve planted 96 trees so far this month.
Our classic kiwi caravan
I need a non-gardening hobby, so I’m looking to do some restoration work on our 1965 classic kiwi caravan. Come take a peek at her.
The bush cam
I got a new toy for my birthday and it’s absolutely revolutionised the pest and weed management of our native bush.
Clearing the clearing
This week we cut down a bunch of gorse and cleared out a nice spot for a picnic in the bush.
The value of the bush
Musings on what value we place on our native forest remnants.
Sourcing native trees
In order to plant native trees, we need to source native trees. I went tree-hunting this week.
Trees that count
Last week I went on a planting spree and we got 70 native trees into the soil.
Learning to farm
I’ve had to learn how to look after my land and animals. Here’s what I’ve done so far.
Why our wetland is important
One of our paddocks was once a very valuable ecosystem. I’ve got plans to return it to its former glory.
