be adding the sheep droppings in spring to other areas to aid bulking up.

Make sure you let thefaster growing plants go to see and harvest the seed
heads. Then you just ned to spread the seed next year.

At the moment nothing is growing fast, too damn cool. Used seedlings to
actually get a garden as we only moved in during April. Have 1/2 fenced off
from the ferals (heeler & heinz). Will be using the rest when & if it warms
up. We have about 15m x 2m that is usable at moment but it does have a great
big gum near one end.
