Thanks Colin. I thought you’d enjoy this quote.

Comment on Bioboxes basics by G K Yeo

It’s all great until your box of Broccoli seeds suddenly decides that only 25 are going to sprout! What happened, I have no idea. Unless the Silver Eyes, a small finch in our area, decided to have a feast at my expense but I doubt that because they cleaned out the box too thoroughly for an animal. Most likely something I did wrong with the soil prep. Can you have too much of a good thing like composted cow manure or blood and bone? Even that was only a couple of handfuls per box. Baffled and annoyed. Mostly because I got an infection in my toe at the same time and have to wait a week for the next box to sprout.
Any growers in the Maryborough area?

Hi Colin

1 hour -well spent- intro awareness of gbiota.

I have appreciation of your aims, look forward to find out more, and try. Very Impressive quest – looks like should grow.

As former dry land SA farmer and now retired but director of LawrieCo – have had 25 years encouraging , coercing farmers to rebuild critters and carbon in soil – so empathize with your journey.

Our LCo journey has been described a leading edge – I know it to be bleading edge.

Would look forward to meet, chat ?

I am not clear about the connection between the inspection pipe and the AG pipe. In the picture it looks like the inspection pips is just on top, how do we make sure the water actually flows into the AG pipe, an out of the bed close up picture of this connection would be super helpful.

Dear Colin
I have been updating myself to the gbiota club … congratulations – your message is catching on.

My partner, Dr Darrall Thompson is very inspired (he bought the wicking boxes yesterday before reading your gbiota site)

We will keep in touch

Wishing you and your family well
