There are some lively conversations about poultry, here. I want a cow, but my one acre property says "No."  Welcome to Homegrown!

Hi, I'm in suburban Bendigo, central Victoria, on 780 square metres, backing onto a hectare or so of scrubby box-ironbark forest. Bendigo, an old goldrush mining town has patches and swathes of forest and wasteland, a result of previous mining activity, with shafts and mullock (spoil) heaps, right hrough the town, all now reverting to forest and woodland, and the occasional mildly toxic site, a result of quartz crushing and arsenic gold extraction. Haven't had my soil tested yet ;D. I garden on a sloping site, very thin, bony depleted Devonian mudstone soils. Found the forum via Raymondo - we inhabit a very cosy gardening forum based in Aust. Got a bit addicted to breeding experiments via the cross-hemisphere dwarf project, and the frustration of only being able to do one generation a year has me now interested in peas, where i reckon i can get 2 or 3 generations a year. No livestock here, but lots of blue tongue lizards, occasional eastern grey 'roos, and once a black tailed swamp wallaby munching on my lettuces. Yes, kangaroos DO bound down the streets of australian cities... T |
