Dear Diggers
The latest from our members.
The winds of debate
Following lively correspondence in our recent Dear Diggers about wind farms, we asked an energy expert to respond to the issues raised.
A growing community of young community growers
Somers School Camp on the Mornington Peninsula is a beneficiary of The Diggers Foundation’s ‘Seed the Future’ program.
Corn 'Sheila O'Reilly'
A rare, multi-stemmed heirloom corn saved by Sheila O’Reilly for over 45 years in the fertile Tallangatta Valley. Originally sourced from a NSW seed saver’s nursery, this productive variety produces an impressive 3–4 sweet, rich-flavoured cobs per plant, each bursting with old-fashioned corn flavour.
