Toby, where can you get tagaste seed?

"Keyline"  Ranch....Would  you please be so kind as to explain this in more 
detail. 

I've read about keylines, dams/ponds, etc., but for some reason it hasn't 
sunken through my dense head. What exactly are the keylines, and how does one 
determine them?

On my farm there are several steep hills and hollows, and a number of 
shelves, and some old logging roads. High hard wood forested hills surround 
most of the farm, which is in southern Kentucky except for the western side 
which is bordered by a large creek. There are lots of good size drainage ways 
that at times place water where I do not want it.

Look forward to your reply.  All the best. Frank
