    Should have been OK Tahr - maybe they chewed it out

    Lotus major (Lotus uliginosus) a perennial legume, grows well in wet, acidic, infertile soils where grazing pressure is light. Lotus has also been widely sown in agroforestry situations (where forestry and agriculture are combined) because it tolerates shade and needle litter better than clovers.

    We used to target No1 Creek - my mate got quite a few deer on the first big slip about ten minutes up the creek - Henry planted it with bush burn - I used to race up the creek about an hour to the forks - there was a lovely burn up there about 1km long - first time I went there the ground and logs were still black - Henry told me that he went bush for about a month after that one got away - you can still see it on Google maps - it looks like it is still grass and has never bushed over

    What was the creek with the hut in the fork? Was that #2 creek? I cant remember.
    Yeah, I chose Lotus because it seemed to be in there on some slips and in the creek anyway.

    Dave McNuir and I also carted fert and seed into the Mangoira in the Ruahines. I dreamt of great herds of deer...but someone else must have got them, ‘cos I didn't.
