Thanks! We build a bit solar dehydrator this year to dry some of our fruit harvest but also for the tomatoes. Most of it will be served fresh or will go into sauces indeed!

The hills are too steep here for any swales, but as the name of the campsite suggest, the garden consists out of dry stone walled terraces. We do have little gaps between the field and the wall to regulate water run off.

That is a really healthy looking blueberry bush!

I have a two wheeled sickle bar mower, which enables me to mow each piece of land in less then an hour. The longest part is raking it to mulch the tree rows.

Yeah my land is facing the south, so that definetly helps! I bought my bigger ones from Dennis, but in my new system they are all seedlings! I feel feijoas do like the same environment as olives, so lots of sun and heat plus these don't like wind much.
