    Love the enthusiasm, excellent work, LOVE the willingness to learn!!! Take nothing as gospel Take everything in & apply relevant ideas to your situation As a south aussie with some home ground knowledge, my hairbrained suggestions would be to 1: don't worry about clay content in your soil type, look to increase the homus stuff 2: try turning small swales at the right time of year to encourage native seed to sprout that was deep dormant seed previously (a few skids will help trigger fire seeds too) Two thumbs up Don't take my bs as gospel either

    The paid partnership sounds great. We have a pretty similar range of fruit/nut trees but no idea how to look after them, and the parrots are the only ones enjoying any fruit. Our trees are very big and old, so how to prune to a manageable size is definitely something that would be useful. All the pruning videos on TH-cam deal with new, young or small fruit trees. Love the secret squirrel references 😂
