not to me a bad thing :-) firstly, i doubt my soil's anywhere near as good

This was my native garden bed, which is made of sandstone rubble.

secondly, i'm always on the lookout
for easy greens for the chooks. they've been a bit grassless lately and the
colour of their yolks is SO much nicer with more greens (plus it's good for
them, since they scoff it up).


Well that's all right then!
