ok, I'll bite McDs have never done the right thing in a permaculture sense. They've done the thing they were forced to do or wanted to do so they could keep their profit margins high. Why is paying minimum wage a good thing? In NZ you have to by law, it doesn't get you brownie points. AFAIK McDs are pretty much the same as the rest of the
fast food industry in terms of not treating their ...

Mungbeans, you've prompted me to get a soil test on my place to see if there's anything more to my sand than just, well, sand. I reckon you might find Aerated
