Eels for brunch

Last day at the Lions Hut it is always Eels cooked on an open fire.

The night before we go bobbing. A whole gang of us sitting around a big pool with our sticks and a fire lighting the dark night.

Great way to end a great few days with family and friends.

Trefoil

Birdsfoot trefoil is a great legume for slightly acidic soils. The bees love it and it makes a beautiful ground cover self sowing readily.

Fungi

The powerhouse of our soil. We only get a glimpse every now and then as to what beautiful processes are happening below ground.

We have a list of basic patterns for our new bathroom;
Privacy -when in shower and toilet, Shelter -from rain and wind; Flat; Paved; Light -natural in the day, electric at night; Hot water -shower tubs, basin; Ventilation -lots; Waste water used -subtropicals; Dry dressing place; View -stars, bush and gardens, of bath from kitchen window; Rocket bath; Clothes hanging space; Shaving & tooth brushing place; Hand washing between toilet and house and car park and house.....................

First we cleared the site then used fencing standards and wood ash to make sure things would fit and get an idea of hot things would feel.

Strawberry mulch

Strawberries like a heavy mulch and a little acidity.
we use pine needles.
