[QUOTE="Grant, post: 1969, member: 1"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/38241/#b[/URL] known growing locations [ATTACH]251[/ATTACH] The other issue you face is that the story is changing. So far we've got: 1 hive with a view to get 3 more in spring. One hive. Then all of a sudden there is potential to get 20 hives across 4 acres. You aren't going to get accurate guidance without the full story, we also don't have ostriches in New Zealand. I'm sure they would be classed an invasive pest if we did. But if you are planting up 4 acres, how long will it take for the plants to get large enough to give you a crop? Then will that crop contain active manuka or just plain manuka? Then refer back to my previous points above about how do you ask your bees to forage on that crop, when they have a 2-3km range? [/QUOTE]
