Eating meat depends on the meat. In Adelaide I always ate feral meat from a stall set up by a bloke sourcing feral rabbits, goats, pigs, deer and camel. They also have kangaroo; not that this is a pest but the quota is strictly controlled. By eating these animals I was helping reduce those pests which damage the fragile bush of SA, which in turn is reducing the numbers of native animals sharing the same food. Also, wild meats require no farming of any kind, are cheap to buy and are very lean and naturally organic. The stall became a couple of shops called Wild Oz.... maybe there is now one in Melbourne somewhere too.

You make some good points Gavin. It's all very well to busily build garden beds, but it's another thing to really take the time to tend them, maximise output and make good use of the produce. These things require a lot of observation and thinking time. I look forward to your posts this year. Keep us informed about the cheese making workshops.

All the best for a New Year that involves more enjoying all the hardwork you have put in. My goals are similare for this year; fewer projects, less stress, more vertical growing, more enjoyment of what I have achieved and maintaining that, losing several kilos and getting healthier. Thanks for sharing. I will be looking forward to how you are doing.

It will be really interesting to read about the increase in gardening space by using vertical space. We too are cutting back on meat for green and health reasons.

As for "less projects, more maintenance" -- brilliant! May I follow on?

You've got the year of maintenance... I think I should have 'the year of follow-through'! I'm great on starting things, but(for example) we'd have far better harvests if I kept up with applying compost and keeping the mulch up to the established crops.

Happy New Year Gavin! Love your post. I have follo...
