Colin and Xiulan

​
Hi I am Colin Austin.  I am 73 years old and have always grown my own food.

A few years ago I married my wife, Xiulan - a Chinese Doctor.  Before we married she had enjoyed a fit and healthy life in China. But when she came to Australia and changed her diet she developed Type 2 Diabetes. 

​

This prompted me to study the effect of diet on health.

We are all told we need to eat fruit and vegetables, you may think of organics but that has concentrated on avoiding chemicals like pesticides and insecticides. But healthy plant can only come from healthy soil, rich in minerals released by the soil biology.

Wicking beds create the healthier soils which grow healthier plants.

 
The message is clear - eat for health.
