Crazy weather means we have states all over Australia waiting for levies to break and rivers to overflow. I heard something about 75 per cent of New South Wales, including Sydney is affected.
One turf grower was asked by the journalist (a little naively me-thinks) doesn't the rain bring you more top-soil. It seemed to be implied in her question, doesn't the rain improve growing conditions? No, was his unsurprising reply. The rain brings more sand deposits than top-soil. Are we people so not in touch with our earth, that we don't know floods destroy crops? Was she trying to put a positive spin on floods?
Ironically, this is a strong reason to get in to growing vegies and other produce around your property, to help absorb the heavy rains, which these mad weather patterns are bringing so they don't rush down the drains, in to rivers which then end up overflowing.

A blog about sustainable landscaping and some eco-humour and eco-creativity.
Inside this blog we look at everything that is encroaching in to our natural urban landscapes – outdoor rooms (errchkem), weeds, urban noise, excess nutrientsThere’s a bit of art to add extra colour and inspiration. We believe in making sustainability fun - more gaming, less shaming.
