I'm supposed to be talking on Radio Live right now, but I think they've forgotten to call!
Fair enough.
Last time I forgot to be home when they did!* up-date - they did call after all. We chatted about bees, gooseberries and mulch and Helen signed off by saying to Tony,
"He's a very nice person isn't he."
That's a nice way to start the day!

Flippin' heck; get yourself elected to pulic office and you become a media whore!!
PS - if you have any spare rain, could you send it north please; we're parched up here!
Ha!
I already was loose with the media Inventory, pre-council.
That state-of-parch is going to be a big problem this summer I think IV.
I hope your region has prepared your/itself - xeriscaped to the max!
Inform me please - xeriscaping?
Xeriscaping is designing landscapes to thrive in dry conditions - plant choices, mulching, greywater and rainwater harvesting, structures that slow and hold water in the landscape etc are all part of it.
It's interesting to consider emergency xeriscaping, for those caught on the hop by drought. Any thoughts Robert?
Thinking ahead is everything when it comes to drought and fixing up isn't really a viable option, I think.
We all need to get systems in place that allow for gardens without supplementary watering if only because of metering and the costs of water that are to come. Farmers should be doing the same, imo, but they are taking the other road of irrigating, damming, ponding and so on. Bad plan, judging by historical evidence that saw irrigating civilizations crash. What we do on the small scale is reflected in the large and we're not taking care with our small plots of backyard, let alone our farms.
When we start to 'look' at the landscape in terms of the water that lies between the particles of soil rather than flowing in streams and rivers, we'll be starting to go in the right direction.
We're not doing that yet.
