See the nice big field in the photo to the south of "our" place? That's maize for feeding to dairy cows, which is pre-treated with a pesticide called "sprinter", which is a nerve agent. Our water supply passes through this field, picking up lots of nice things to help our garden grow, like "sprinter", fungicide to get rid of mildew which grows on maize due to being grown in the wrong climate, and of course, nitrates from the excessive feriliser added. So, thanks to greedy and ignorant farmers, what appeared to be a near-perfect place ain't. Kind of resembles a tropical island surrounded by shark-infested waters!
Back to the drawing board. We've got another 3 places to see this week, so fingers crossed.
BUGGER.
ReplyDeleteBugger. Good try though. I bet you've got more of an insight into how it all works from your foray.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear this- but better to know now than later
