Noticed that you also reside in Flaxmere. I am looking into self sufficiency and living off the land. Noticed you had an interest in hydroponics - I am looking into aquaponics. Might be great to catch up for a cuppa and exchange notes, if you are keen. Riaz

Very true. Sounds like a sad state of affairs. I wonder what will be next? Still I'm sure a good many will grow what they want anyway.
