Ooh, Geoff Lawton! A name I've heard, I'll go read it straight away :)
I can't wait! I've been listening to a few episodes a day. Got a big kick out of the one about mooching homesteaders.
hahaha - that was fun :)

Will be another couple of hours at least. But I have some good info for you.

Wow, 18" deep mulch! I've got a ways to go, but Sam and I are headed out to collect more leaves :)
