Peach drooling
"FarmI" ask@itshall be given wrote in message
... THAT makes sense. at our place, some were placed along small ridges, (less than 1m wide). you can imagine how silly that seems to me. Hmmm, sounds to me like the ridges might have been formed by machinery?????? yes. Could that be the explanation of how they were made or are they supposed to be sawles for water diversion? Where you are in wet times, it makes sense planting on mounds/ridges rather than in a depression whihc makes more sense here. i think they might have been swales - in which case they are running slightly the wrong direction!, or planting ridges (the 2nd-previous owners wrote in their book that they brought a commercial crop of snow peas to fruition, so they might have been for that, or for the raspberries that were there on the ridges, but since wandered. or indeed swales and planting ridges combined. there used to be more fruit trees (or something) on the ridges but they died before we came. the ridges look to be flattening out more now. is that possible? (compaction, presumably). this is the same area where there are lines of jonquils, which i have mentioned. they also did lavender and garlic in lines, but those lines are more the "right" direction to catch run-off. i can't quite fathom what they were exactly trying to achieve tbh. i think too much stuff died after they left for it to be clear what they were doing, really. kylie |
