This sounds interesting - do you have photos?

Really love this thread
Thank you

Thanks for the feed
I am in the Winelands/Breede River area of South Africa
We have a Port Jackson invasion on the land we bought two years ago.
My small herd of goats, sheep & Boris, the Ox - all love the Port Jackson
I am kept busy cutting it to have available to them over night.
During the day the roam free & help themselves.

I see it has a high protein content - good for my milking girls

I was wondering if the Tanin content may act as a natural de-wormer/worm inhibitor?

Thank you for sharing your journey
Inspiring

So it is healthy for the soil?
I was worried about it killing earthworms etc
I use it in the chicken run were I get nice compost...

What are the uses of Diatomaceous earth? I was led to believe that it will kill internal parasites - now I have been told that it won't.
What is the research? &/or theories behind it?
