<br>Hope this is enough to go off for the unit guide at the moment. Will write up some specific Qs to tease out the issues & comparisons better. Putting together a prac from scratch is quite challenging! I'm not sure whether there's far too much in there for a single prac, whether it's a comprehensive enough for this stage (or whether you wanted a fully written prac).<br>
<br>The dryland salinity prac seemed a lot less 'technical'/hands-on than the others, so I wasn't sure to what degree we should go down the 'permie-theory in the permie garden' path, as compared with the 'soil testing' to ascertain soil health & illustrate the impact of specific management techniques. I think I've pretty clearly gone down the latter route, and hopefully the different ways and amounts the beds and surrounds have been managed will provide for some interesting comparisons & indications of how compost, mulch & raised beds, in particular, are helping improve soil health & our growing prospects.<br>
<br>Comments, queries, 'hurry up and get me something on ______', you know my email & phone number.<br>Thanks a lot for the opportunity to put something like this together. Hope it's ok.<br><br>Cheers,<br>
