I have an interest in the ecology of the planet and the animals which is why i became a gamekeeper and the bee situation is a really big problem. I buy pollinating and nectar wild plants for the garden to encourage wildlife and bees. They help with the permaculture aspect of fertilisation and my orchard. As much as a gamekeeper controls certain animals a lot of it has to do with encouraging the wildlife and ecology and bringing new life into the world. So I am right on board with your post which i just read. Equador, i would love to have a farm out there....dream those big dreams of low impact living. Also the weather is better that wouldn't go a miss. keep up the good work ebryans.
