| Post subject: | Hi from Central Queensland. |
Hi there! I'm Daffy and I'm passionate about growing my own food. At the moment I have 2 mature bowen mango trees, a passion fruit vine that I I have growing up one of the mango trees that won't fruit, an assortment of fruit trees and veges. I'm a bit of a reptile/animal nut and I'm owned by two cats (one is what might be kindly call..ahem...."special needs"..lol) I also have 2 blue tongue lizards and 5 pythons and a fluctuating population of fancy rats. I'm looking to expand my food producing capabilities as food prices and distrust of supermarket offered "fresh" foods grow. Another factor is I'm a student and so prices of food and it's dubious food value and shelf age are of a great concern to me. I'm of country stock. I've grown cattle and sheep and in recent history (but not currently) have owned Dexter cattle. Past hobbies have also included a passion for African rift lake cichlids. In short, self sufficiency has been a constant theme regardless of circumstances. I look forward to swapping ideas, brain storming and most importantly learning from those who know more than myself. Cheers, ~Daffy. |

Try your next passionfruit over a wattle the wattle will give it support and nitrogen and it will die at about the same time as the vine needs replacing. |
