If anyone is interested in assisting in designing, planting and working on a food forest in the Crookwell region please let me know. I have been collecting fruit and nuts for an orchard and want to get them in the ground soon. I have a variety of species to see which ones grow best in my area.

Michael Mehaffy and Nikos Salingaros are running a series of essays in Metropolis Magazine at the moment, they are all publishe...
In december I started cutting the first exotic shrubs, starting with the Aucuba japonicas which were everywhere and a bamboo plant that was blocking the entire sight on the garden from the house. I still left the rest till next winter because I first wanted to see them in summer with leaves and f...
After the first big clean-up we decided to set up a central plot for annual and perennial vegetables this year still, so that we will be able to have a yield next growing season. A large quantity of cardboard was used to cover the grasses and we bought 15 m³ of compost. The problem with the deliv...
The aim of this garden is to demonstrate what permaculture can do for people, to explain the principles in practice, to organise work shops to deepen the understanding of the principles. It is also meant as a gathering place for the whole village to experience permaculture, transition, living sim...
We had 3 important tasks to
accomplish today:
1. Planting the first seeds in the
seedling flats
2. Creating a rainwater capture system
3. Build a nursery
The kick-off today was slow and
discouraging... we had the sense the Pygmies weren't grasping the importance of
the small steps we've ...
Maya Mountain Research Farm is a well established permaculture project with over 24 years worth of work. We offer an excellent opportunity to plug into an ongoing experiment in agroforestry, permaculture and renewable energy.
Here are the adventures of Gaiacraft Team members Delvin, Ali Ma and Tamara taking advanced permaculture teacher trainings with
some of the masters and maestras of the movement. This document will
share the experience and some of the learning highlights from this
adventure in education.

Today's first task: building seedling flats
so the villagers can germinate and tend to their seedlings before they're
strong enough to transplant to the field.
We bought wooden planks and saws and began measuring and cutting the necessary
pieces to build the seedling flats. 26 in total. W...
Today I have drawn my map of jobbies that I would like to see carried out on Saturday, which is when the first Permablitz that I know of will take place at my home. I am fearing (but loving!) a great assembly of people from many corners of the island, therefore I need to have very clear what I ca...
Planting seedlings into the vegie beds needs to happen while it's cool, hence the need for an evening gardening session. This session is open to the public - just enter the garden from Vannam Drive, Ashwood opposite Beechwood Terrace.
We'll start at 6pm, eat a picnic dinner (BYO), then get stuck...
So Nick and our current permaculture interns
set to work completely dis-mantling the rocket stove water heater and
examining all its components. We made new discoveries and adjustments,
put it all back together, and then covered the whole thing with mud. Read More »
We’ve snared Adam as a special guest teacher on our Urban Permaculture Design Certificate in Sydney in January 2012,
where he’ll be taking the class through the mechanics of good urban
permaculture design. In the meantime, however, I thought I’d share some
of the design work that VEG h...
Since solving this problem is both necessary and interesting, we
decided to develop an intern project around it. The brief: design,
implement and plant a system that makes use of intermittent excess
water, shelters the intern camp and shed, and provides a useful yield.
Go, you fabulous ...
It’s been an adventure of epic proportions to get to this point. But
thanks to our amazing crew, and to Joyce and Michael of Allsun farm, it
looks like this whole market garden thing might just work…
