Hey guys I'm helping some friends with a design for their small suburban block and need some ideas. He's a keen fisherman and has a fish cleaning sink outside. Currently it all collects in a bucket then she digs it into the garden. We are looking for a way with less handling (baby number 2 on the way and less digging space with all the plantings) to get the fish guts into the system. I thought of some slotted pipe going straight into a veggie bed but I think the stink coming back up the pipe would be bad. Someone suggested a worm farm but I can't quite picture how this would work given the height of the worm farm under a sink etc. I thought maybe putting an empty top tray under the sink to catch the guts then placing it straight into the worm farm? Their composting skills are basic so don't want to risk a rat infestation. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi all, long time listener, first time caller! I'm in SW Western Australia and trying to find a list of wind tolerant fruit trees to plant on the southern boundary of a suburban block to act as a wind break for the winter months. The block is so small I can't really afford for the trees to not be edible. I'm in a temperate climate with hot dry summers and cool but rarely below 2 degrees Celsius winters. Trees will have full sun all day, Hope someone can help.
My list so far from internet research:
Cherry Guava
Feijoa
Lemon
Loquat
Pomegranate
Mulberry
