		Farmers' impressions of the influences of trees in Australia
		Asked whether there were any planted trees on their farms, 35 percent of farmers responded that they had tree belts and corridors, 14 percent had tree blocks, 6 percent had alley belts (at least two strips of trees with grazing or cropping between the strips) and another 6 percent had widely spaced plantings.
		Trees may provide indirect benefits for farms through the provision of shelter and shade for livestock or the amelioration of land degradation problems such as soil erosion and high water tables.

	Pravda.RU: Condoms grow on trees in Australia
		The native population of Australia live in traditional communities, so the percentage of sexually transmitted diseases is very high there, since the notion of safe sex is rather weird for them.
		There were plastic boxes hung on the branches of the trees, and one could reach out and take as much condoms as needed, totally free of charge.
		But at that time the condoms were given away free in two places only: in the city supermarket and in the local hospital, but the natives did not feel like going that far for getting protection from a very weird, as they think, opportunity to catch a venereal disease.

		A beautiful tree like a fig, if planted in a bed that is too narrow to accommodate its massive roots, will ultimately lift up any pathways and damage the foundations of any nearby wall in its efforts to find room to grow.
		Another method to control invasive tree roots on mature trees is by digging a trench around the roots and placing a double layer of shade cloth around the outside of the trench.
		Seek advice from your local council for safe trees to plant for your area, and the distance from a house or wall that they should be planted.
