        Very impressive and interesting, and on what a scale! Thanks for sharing :smile:
        I also liked the link with the film Lawrence of Arabia - lapped up the book, Seven Pillars of Wisdom - and was taken to see the film in London by an aunt when it first ćame out :redface:

          Interesting Webmaster, you wouldn't think it possible. I've already got the sandy soil, all I need now is the sun and heat. :)

            Think I missed something.

            Did he say where the water came from?

            Its quite well know that deserts will grow all manner of things if you can get water there.
