<pre>I agree - putting all the pollinators on one side is taking a big chance
that the wind is always blowing from the same direction. Here the
recommendation is about 60 m in every direction but most people have
more than that.

I was interested that you are planting mostly table olives. It
seems to me (but people in the grove in Oz will have more precise info)
that there are now enough table olive trees in the ground in Oz to
satisfy the market a number of times over. It seems to me a classic
economic cycle where the delay between planting and production means
planting goes on when there is already a surplus in the pipeline. Oz
already produces a very large part of the table olive market
domestically while it is only a small percentage of the oil market that
is producted locally. What are the export prospects? There is ample
evidence that table olives make poor oil.
