A very knowledgeable guy Charlie, thank you for sharing John.
Can you please ask Charlie if he buried a whole 44 gallon drum into the ground for the Avocado tree. I also see that he planted two Avocado tree into one hole.
I would like to plant two Avocado trees into one hole, we are renting a house and I have two grafted Avocado tree's. The garden is not very big. I love Avocado's, but they have become very expensive to buy.

My understanding is that the drum is only at the top of the hole - so only half or a third of a drum used. But the hole needs to be about 80cm -1m deep and then filled with compost.

You’re amazing, I love your style. What area are you in, it looks dry.

[@wayneberry8703]

It’s been to dry, John.

[@lizzie9173]

Was he growing the 'walking stick' cabbage just for the chooks - or does he eat some of it himself ?

[@homesteading]

Charlie said he does eat some. But I think most of it goes to the chooks!
