Scarecrow

Description

We live in the dry Mid North of South Australia on 3 town blocks - a total of half an acre. We have hot, dry summers and frosty mornings during increasingly dry winter months. Despite this harsh climate we manage to grow much of our own food. Our garden beds are shaded, mulched, humus rich and now converted to wicking worm beds.
