    Tea tree oil comes from Melaleuca (tea trees, paperbarks, bottle-brushes, etc.) and eucalyptus oil comes from Eucalyptus (blue gum, red gum, etc.). They're all Australian trees, but the oils are different.

    Eucalyptus oil comes from eucalyptus trees, and tea tree oil comes from tea trees. ^_^ They're definitely different, although similarly mentholated.

    All your animals seem so happy, you are providing them with such good care and love and safety!
    Love to see your hard work on the property and how you are slowly but surely transforming it!!
    Thanks so very much for sharing your progress with us!

    Tea tree comes from the melaleuca tree which is in the myrtle family. Eucalyptus has quite a few different trees for oils like radiata and globulus but there are several more people distill to make oils. They are also part of the myrtle family so that’s why you might mix them up. But quite distinctive aromas for all. Tea tree less good for opening up the airways but great for moving ants on. Nice to see Theo’s full face in this one as the brim of his cap usually kind of cuts his profile in half. Handsome bloke.

Oh my, those ferns all golden are so beautiful. I did enjoy the video - especially your description of the Pet Parade! Who know Furrnando would become a herder? Oh golly, you never run out of chores on all that acreage, but you both work so hard, I'm certain it will just keep getting more beautiful every year.

    Bea, my love , the wonderful smell you are inhaling is Euchalip oil. Tee Tree is completely different . Both have distinctive aromas. When you deplete the leg hairs or underarms, beauty parlours use tee tree oil to sooth the skin. Problem is, you then reek of it for the remainder of the day!!. Lovely to see you back to your old self. By the way, any chance the chance Theo could recreate the lovely chicken house you had on the last property. The current establishment looks so bland in comparison. Take care.

    I grew up in California among the redwoods. What you called suckers we called sister trees. As roots are already established one can have as many as three trees grow up. Often their trunks grow together over time. Also how the Forrest maintains itself after fires. Redwoods burn sometimes from within. It's been a while since I sat at a fireside ranger story. One reason is they were struck by lightning. Can't remember beyond that. It would be the sap from the tree that burns, redwood doesn't burn. In order to start a redwood the seeds from the pinecones need to burn in order to grow.

    Flat Rock, NC, USA is 8.23sq. mi. or 21.31 sq. km. It grew up as a town from a well known geological formation known to the Cherokee and other tribes for centuries. The village itself sits on almost all of the flat rock. I remember walking most of it in junior high on a field trip. It really is a huge area of a granite rock!

    First of all don’t worry about what you look like, you’re in a forest you’re working. When I go to work at my daughters house in the yard for fun I never shower before I go over because I’m working I’m in the yard. Secondly and what’s more important is it probably 50% of the people that watch you look just a scruffy and were watching it. Please never worry about what you look like when you’re home you do as you please.
