Watching Landline this weekend I was really happy to hear the average Aussie farmer embracing the concept that there is life in our soil that needs respecting – a turn about which has occurred since the increased price in petrol and fertilizers … but also was rather amused that we have to hear it from an American and import such ideas – when they have been here in Australia under the guise of Permaculture for decades – hey what ever way we can have farmers respecting the earth – may it happen!! It was a great episode to watch ….
