Hi and welcome,

just a few thoughts on my experiences in developing 8.2 hectares in a low rainfall area. We have been here now for 28 years and because we developed this property from scratch and have been successful with some of the methods we have used, we have some tips both on the farming side as well as the gardening side that might be helpful.

Cuttings save you heaps of $'s !

One good way to save money, and if you if you like to make money, is by using existing plants in the garden by layering or taking cuttings. We have done this with a variety of plants and it is especially worthwhile for expensive plants like Rhododendrons. Sally wanted box (Buxus Sempervirens) hedging as a border around various plots in the garden but to buy the smallest plants from the nursery was going to cost too much so she set about taking cuttings with great success as you can see from the photograph in the foreground and background. All you need is a little patience and nature will do the rest.
