RE: IS SELF SUSTAINABILITY SUSTAINABLE??

I gather you have some of the gum trees there too. Crazy bushfire fuel...

I don't know if you call them soursobs there, but I read they come from southern Africa too. They grow like crazy in winter! Luckily the chickens like them.

Crazy bushfire fuel

Indeed! The last couple of wildfires and man-made fires most of the "experts" said that non-indigenous (alien) trees helped spread the fires quicker and made them more intense as the local fynbos burns differently; quicker and less intense fires.

Oh, yes! African wood-sorrel or Cape-sorrel. I love them in a salad, very tangy, although the oxalic content is quite high, hence the tanginess.
