Water restrictions and gardens
"Farm1" please@askifyouwannaknow wrote in message
... .. i mean, sydney people (and those in other places) have been experiencing the reality of water shortages for 5 years, haven't they? Oh come on! Sydney people wouldn't know a water shortage if it bit them on the arse. They only think they do. dude, they know. they don't "know" in the sense of "being deeply affected by economically", but they, obviously, know. it's ludicrous to suggest otherwise when it's been a hot topic for many years now, & i was living there when it first all blew up. again, just because most of them don't rely on rainfall to make a living does not make the awareness any less acute. (snip) I suggest you do two things. Do some reading up on P.A. Yeomans. He was a farmer whose published material goes back to the mid 1950s. The second thing is to look at the 2006-07 copy of the ABCs "Open Garden Scheme", page 22 on Lyndfield Park. That farmer started work on his farm in 1982 and even then what he was doing was not unique. All that knowledge was around even then. frankly i'm a bit amazed at how combative your response is, and the way you feel it's all right to generalise about witless cityfolk where it's not all right for people to make statements they acknowledge are general(?) i'm not sure where you might have got the idea that i'm painting country people as dimwits when i'm _obviously_ not. kylie |
