Mongrel tree's

We've have just ordered another 50 endemic tree's to plant on our rural property. We've been planting out our 9 acre's of nude hill with natives for the last few years-hoping in someway to offset the carbon footprint our business-Mongrel sock making creates. We've lost count of how many we've put in but numbers in the hundreds. The tree's are planted as seedling's, most not much more than six inches tall, now many of them are up to 3 metre's. We started planting out the property round the boundries, that done, we're moving in. Needing to keep the new planting watered, we've elected not to water the house garden-so have lost a few ornamental's but really haven't lost nearly as much as we thought we would. It is truely delightful to see the native fauna, furry, feathered and scaley, making themselves at home and thriving. Since we eradicated the latest feral cat invasion, the variety of bird life has exploded. We have a small water trough near the house, just off the verandah, which is a busy spot in the morning's and early evening's. A lovely place to start and finish our Mongrel Sock making day's. It's where we do most of our business planning, phone calls and meetings-it a hard life, eh? Kind of nice to be doing the right thing for the environment, and reaping the benefit's.
