    Slingshot and a bag full of grapes. Every time the Cassowary has a crack at the crops they cop a grape to the head. It's a fun game for everyone! 😂 the bird will eventually decide to eat elsewhere, and you'll have half a bag of grapes for arvo tea

    Your three-year journey towards self-sufficiency is incredibly inspiring and admirable. Your dedication and hard work are evident in every step towards achieving this goal. It's clear that your commitment to sustainability and independence is making a meaningful impact on your life and community. And I am a floating village life from Vietnam.

    In terms of feeding multiple animals, we always cut a length, or a few, or storm drain pipe (lengthways) in half.
    It gives you a nice long trough type set up and keeps the animals from eating directly off the ground, minimising consumption of worms.
    Really enjoying watching your homestead grow and will drop into the Cafe when we next head North from CQ.
    All the best ✌️

Definitely I got your location in my maps for next time I'm up in FNQ cheers.

    Diatomaceous earth for insects. You can get food grade and then non-food grade which is better. Also, apple cider vinegar can sometimes work on certain insects by attracting other insects that yet other insects like to eat and they wind up eating the other bugs. Some though actually deter bugs. I think.
