    We had one of the worst droughts ever when this was filmed, it broke a couple of years ago. Now too much rain in a lot of places, floods all the way to Tasmania.

    Anyone know about Graeme Salt? Some people want to bring him here for a two day seminar. I think there's probably better people to look at, but I don't know anything much about him. I can't watch video's at the moment, what do you think. https://youtu.be/8Q1VnwcpW7E

    Dave, your post made me think of Alfalfa. Might not be suitable for Jim but it's a good nitrogen storer. https://www.pioneer.com/home/site/us/silage-zone/alfalfa_grow/alfalfanitrogen/ Catch 22 has a good Alfalfa story.

    Sorry about that, I don't know what happened and I couldn't delete it. That post was a reply to this one. I'd done a bit of research on it after watching that movie. See post 271 for the story.

    It froze up for me when I went Advanced to check it, so I just clicked submit and it came up without the last line and no Edit options. I can see the page ok, tried another browser and it works but still doesn't have the options thing.:scratch: The movie was Beasts of the Southern Wild. It's...

    We didn't cut down many trees before nature decided we weren't wanted. Once this was a rainforest, a bit before they decided to build there though.

    Don't know what happened there, a bit didn't work. must be too hot. I've seen some changes in the weather over the years, no doubt we've warmed things up a bit since the industrial revolution but I'm more with the natural cycle of things. It was all green here once, not red dirt for 70%, be...
