Eucalyptus

The four huge Eucalyptus trees in the Zone 2 gardens (what we call - the wwoofer gardens) are no more, as motivated by the hurricane we just experienced. We wanted to get the trees down, before the hurricane did it for us. We are officially a category 2 hurricane proof farm. The cabana is fine, the animals are fine, and our structures are fine. Some of my plants got damaged, but i'm experimenting anyway - no harm replanting. The Eucalyptus sadly halved our banana patch, but it had to be done as it has vastly increased our potential garden space. The trees will remain in the ravine for many years, so we need volunteers to come help clear and plant around them - we will carve stairs into the trees to make it easier. We still have a few monster Eucalyptus to drop, but we are focusing on one space at a time.
