Webs

These cold frosty mornings highlight the amazing mahi of our spiders. Everywhere you walk there are dew droplets on webs. In bare branches, long grass and sometimes trailing from who knows where.

Spiders are an important cycler of nutrients and controller of insect populations. Keeping things in check in all important balance.

I like that spiders are web builders. Webs that span between. A reminder that everything is connected.

Fish Hydrolysate

This is my first ever drum of fish hydrolysate. It is now over a year old. It smells sweet. Was so surprised how little it smelt during the fermentation process. I have been adding it to all of my compost teas and slurries.

Kereru

 

This time of the year is punctuated by the whooshing of these majestic birds.
Kereru all come down to feast on the tasty new Tagasaste buds. It is not uncommon to have flocks of 10 or more swooping down over you.
