@homebuddha says:

Oh Rob it’s you haha! I followed your aquaponics for last 4 yrs. You’ve moved! Double Geeze!

I love how council tell you to get it under control, yet they constantly fail to meet their own obligations under the biosecurities act. Especially lantana.

Rob, thanks for bringing us along your journey!!

When it rains it pours is a saying. Take your time and I am so happy to see B talk some sense into you Rob. Accepting help does not make you weak in any way. I am also mighty impressed with the amount of weedwacking, I just did my dog yard and that was more than enough

@nobitsapothecary says:

Slow and steady wins the race! I applaud your regenerative approach- building healthy soil is always the key. Keep at it.

And no shame in letting all if us contribute financially to the process. Lots of us WANT to help.

Please don’t be too hard on yourself Rob! Everyone needs help from time to time. I get it, I hate having to ask or letting people do for me. But my health has had me laid up for a few years now, and I’ve HAD to let people do “my jobs”. Mate, I can’t even cook myself a meal, even soup from a can. And I used to feed a ravenous growing family of 5 by making 95% of what we ate from scratch. I know how hard letting someone else step in is. But you don’t want to burn yourself out! So, good on Bianca for taking control. Like minded folk, help each other, it’s part of our thing. In an ideal world, if every subscriber sent you just $1 AUD, think of what you’d have. Sadly, not many people will do this, but I’ll be looking out for the gofundme and give what I can. ❤

You guys are living my childhood, just in a slightly tamer place. 😂 It’s hard, things go wrong and unplanned. It’s not your fault. Just think of the benefits that come with it. Think of those glorious night sounds of frogs and bugs. The smell of the bush as the day heats up. The night sky with more stars than darkness. They make it worth it. And I miss them daily. 😊

My dad worked 12 hour days all week, and spent most weekends pushing his slasher(he had a giant push slasher not tractor) around the fire breaks and yards, whippersnipping, etc in the tropical heat. Like you, non stop till done. Didn’t want help, didn’t want it done for him. But we helped anyway. It’s what decent folk do. ❤ Have a good one, and don’t feel obliged to reply. You’re busy, I’m good without a chat. – Janis.

People who are complaining about lack of content have no clue what it takes to get a new farm up and running. We have been doing similar for years and although we’re making progress, nothing ever seems to happen as quickly as we would expect. Something else always seems to come up demanding more time (and usually money). “Quick remodels” seem to never happen, and changing the landscape such as conditions of the soil to support what you want it to grow, doesn’t happen overnight. Ignore the Negative Nellies and just keep doing what you’re doing! Those of us who have (and are still) traveled this similar path understand and empathize. We appreciate all you’re doing and share in your pain and successes!

Thanks for sharing a slice of your life as it actually occurs – nice to hear how it all goes

We have had our place 5 yrs and still havent competed all the projects that need to be done. Farming projects are never done, always more to do! Keep up the hard work it’s worth it!
