[QUOTE="Eeb Evih, post: 13048, member: 427"] I farmed near Karapiro in the hills to the north of SH1. I observed over the years, 1960's pasture weed white daisy early 70's plumless and nodding thistle and a huge outbreak of inkweed, each seemed to run about 5 years before the mineral or element there was a deficiency of was resolved. meanwhile the stock only occasionally arrived showing copper deficiency in the '60's and 70's but by late 70's mineral deficiencies were rampant in on farm bred stock (sheep and cattle) my dairy neighbours had this more than 10 years earlier than us peasant sheep farmers. I put it down to superphosphate as they applied 2 to 3 times more than us drystock farmers... so I began using rock phosphate and dropped all chemical use on farm. Skinks came back after a few years, the first bell bird was heard in 1990 and after 65 years finally I saw a Kereru in 2013 June while the Waipa Council was ascessing my 75ha of Kanuka and 12 ha native bush (third of my property, retained because I had a son who was making furniture out of Kanuka and he had a 30 year rotation at 2ha a year) for SNA land grab [/QUOTE]
