'Biggles' helped secure a modest government 1:1 grant to assist Gemtree build this neat little garden and display room to make simple practical sense of the biodynamic vineyard cycle.
Kids seem to love it, which is a good start.
They can learn biodynamics while Mum and Dad taste some.
Of course the Gemtree mob made the Minister stack a cow horn with cow shit.
"This shit's not fresh," he said with a grin, massaging it in.
"This shit's cold. It's not warm enough to be fresh."
Bignell grew up on a dairy farm. He can handle shit.
Gemtree was amongst the first of McLaren Vale vignerons to begin converting bits of its vineyard holdings to biodynamic management. Their adjacent reforested wetland on the piedmont is an exemplary commitment to the local ecology. FROGS!!!
From little things, big things grow.These folks were in at the start.

is that Baba Yaga with Biggles whitey?
Considering Baba Yaga had to carry her little hut around on her chicken legs, I doubt that she would have built it from Willunga Slate, as the kids and crew at Gemtree did. But maybe them mighty Mike Brown gams could do it!
