Last year we planted 5000 York Gums (Eucalyptus Loxophleba subspecies lissophloia) and 3000 assorted other trees, but because of lack of rain I have been hand watering by carting 19 loads of 2000 ltr of water on the truck every second day and are doing the same again this year. I intend to double this amount next year (2009) if I can find out [1.] Where to get seed. [2.] How to raise seedlings.

All the seedlings up till now have been purchased, it is a very expensive operation for a pensioner. I have dropped a couple of pics showing last years seedlings.
