Another great article Craig. I visited this property yesterday and it is looking amazing, with 1.5-year old fruit trees fully laden and tagasastes well over two metres tall. The food forest area Cam did recently has taken off fast, and Kim said she’s impressed how well it has held up to the heat – thanks to all the careful soil prep I’m sure.

Cheers,
Dan

This is an inspiration as to what can be done by by ones self.You have shared this with us and in turn we would like to share something unbelievable. Josie was suffering with a frozen shoulder. She couldn’t sleep because of the pain and inflammation, and we tried every kind of healing process for her. Then when we were at complete despair, some idiot recommended a comfrey Poultice.The results were unbelievable, within three days the pain was gone.Her osteoarthritis also disappeared.
I concede that she is not entirely out of the woods.But the affects of Comfrey and its healing properties is beyond contestation. This is coming from a skeptic, and i repent any previous remarks i may have made about organic gardening to anyone.
Cam if i told you that by applying Comfrey to any part of the body that is in pain, then be reassured that immediate relief is there.Because we are just simple hard working vegetarian people, and we just shared this knowledge to our friends, who were also suffering from all sorts of pains, from migraines, back aches, deep tissue strains, etc, and in every case immediate relief was there for them. I am sure that you may have access to similar knowledge. But this is our own experience with a diverse age group of children, teenagers and older people like us.
If you feel like a laugh one lady we knew, paid $11.00 each for some pain tablets, which didn’t work, we gave her some Comfrey for free and immediately she was well. But suffered from the side affects of the painkillers.

Bless you Cam and your family and thanks once again for sharing your knowledge with us in a time when this is of paramount importance to humanity. Only because we have lost touch with nature and need to ground ourselves into some sort of rational thinking. Yours sincerely

W Bellman.
