permaculture

[Darren Doherty <darren@permaculture.biz>]

G'day,

Can I just add that this is a wonderful location having been to this
Estancia on a couple of occasions (including for 1 PDC in 2006) and whilst
the growing season is relatively short (temperature being the limiting
factor) the soils are fantastic with plenty of water available. There is a
large existing garden area that with the right management will produce a lot
of food...Plenty of quality biomass for composting is available and should
be a focal activity....

All the best,

Darren
