Post: # 43405Post pomegranate »

Hi,
I live on 20 acres in central Victoria, Aust. At the moment we are in the middle of a drought. We have a mud brick house that runs solely on solar power. The mud bricks are 10inches thick so we have good insolation, which was handy as yesterday temperature reached 43 deggrees c.
As we are 7 k's out of town our water is from3 large tanks and a very low, muddy dam.
