The eucalypt tree dug into the bank of swale number 1 is still thriving and seems to have established itself nicely (see pic1 below). This was our first visit to the swale where we had no food waiting for us, in fact, there was nothing living in the first swale except a small succulent surviving...

Weekend work-parties jumpstart community-tended edible parks on vacant land in underserved neighborhoods throughout the city of Philadelphia.

If you could sit down with some very experienced permaculture teachers, have a cup of tea and a home made biscuit, and ask them anything you'd ever wanted to know about life, permaculture or experience of a permaculture teacher, what would that be? Well, after finishing a busy week of training a ...

I'm turning 2.5 dry acres of Knapp weed and sand with a falling down OSB cabin into a dozen Hugelkulter paddocks with a quasi Wofati with a Rocket Mass Heater.
