  A little Sunday ramble. I have two thoughts, one good one bad.

  Bad thought first. I totally get the obvious need to try and use stuff already manufactured to avoid encouraging more damaging industry. In the First World that would be a cinch, it's rather immoral the level of waste, and really good stuff. But not in Ghanzi. We live among some of the poorest people anywhere, an empty coffee tin has great value. So maybe I'll be a little flexible on that one, besides, wha...t would I do about solar?

  Good thought. What I've not come across yet is a star chart for the year. Initially it could be at a fairly course scale. Like when Canopus is rising in the south east in the early evening, its time for spring planting. Eventually this could become really precise, put a precise sighter up on the deck etc. And it would be linked to the moon and its effects whatever they are. The aim would be to get as close as possible to a point where a clock would no longer be essential.

  :) Have a lekker day/night

  Kolbroek piglets at the end - and the adults are so fat!

  This is totally counter-intuitive with great potential for intense, small paddock, rotational grazing on the desert soils. At the moment they are stuffed on the Kalahari Farm. Pigs will root the soil, sheep do the grazing and possibly supplement the water - on the natural pasture which may be 25 to 33% of the plot. I will take photos before with the GPS camera. A really interesting project.

  We find these on the farm, they are really beautiful and taste like cucumber. Seems they are actually grown commercially. What a great experiment a small paddock of horned melon might make for the pigs and chickens.

  This is so special, endless dreamy ideas for a cob cottage for the old folks :)

  Secured the domain www.kalaharifarm.com so website next. I'm also getting great information on chickens which I plan to set up at Dqae Qare so they are fully established when we move. I am especially keen on Koekoeks.
