Thanks for all the wonderful reading and v...Hi Rob,<br />Thanks for all the wonderful reading and videos on your site, and the link to the truly inspirational "Back to Eden" video.<br />I am not totally new to vegetable growing, but since moving to tropical Cairns I have had trouble finding web sites for growing in our hot climate.<br />I will be converting over to wicking beds if I can find some IBC or 44g drums, which are hard to find and are expensive up here. <br />My question or 2 if I can ask is, do you know of any groups or web sites which are based NQ, and after watching the back to eden video, I have remembered about a 9m truck load of green waste mulch I had put behind the shed 4 years ago, and it is know composted down; what would be the best size screening mesh to use before putting the final product on the garden. My current mesh has 24x24mm holes, or should I find myself some smaller 10 or 12mm mesh.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Steve.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
