My private residence is my project. And possibly a life-long one at that... Actually, I doubt that'll be the case (I hope!). But seriously, my aim is to grow the best organic food I can to continue healing my digestive system, use smart design to leave a lighter footprint on the earth and con...

I am not a survivalist. Really I’m not. Despite growing up in a family that was so deeply concerned by nuclear threat in the 1980?s that we had pictures of mushroom clouds (framed) in my childhood lounge room, I refuse to concede that my family’s future may involve turning our farm ...

Hayes Valley Farm was decommissioned in June 2013. Hayes Valley Farm's mission is to serve as a community and agricultural hub encouraging San Francisco residents to connect with one another, grow their own food, and learn about sustainable ecological systems.

My fabulous home vegetable garden

I mentioned in my first Update that one of the reasons I had to move the Hordes of rabbits and chickens out into the country was that rabbit manure tends to accumulate and only so much of it can be turned into mulch and compost and fertiliser.  The same thing was to prove true out here. The chan...

My landlord had assured me I'd be able to lease the property for ten years, but then sold it to his son.  Aside from the fact that a lot of legal issues are still outstanding, I don't really want to discuss this anyway.  It's just unfortunate. But by ten weeks I had a much larger flock of poultr...

I think the summary said it all.  Because of the distance, and the need to feed and water all the animals, it wasn't possible to move only some of the animals, or leave important household goods at the opposite end of the journey...  In addition, of course, I couldn't even go ahead and build new...

Since adult chickens attack baby chicks that are not theirs, I had to separate them into a new place. Unfortunately, the new place was not as secure as the old one, and "something" (probably Egyptian Mongoose, known here as Saca-rabos) maybe more than one, managed to catch them. The rooster's fea...

A one-month course held every year between mid February to mid March There is an increasing and urgent global need for viable, sustainable human settlements. Ecovillages provide environmental, social, economic and spiritual sustainability, and an enhanced quality of life for all. Ecovillage comm...

La estructura casi no recibe rayos del sol debido a que se encuentra bajo la sombra de un gran pino aún sin identificar, un Ficus disciplinado y una palmera Yatay. Aprovecharé ciertas zonas húmedas de su alrededor (sobre una de las medianeras) para ubicar las trampas de microorganismos eficientes...

The Findhorn Foundation community is an experiment in conscious living, an education centre and an ecovillage. Based mainly at The Park, Findhorn and at Cluny Hill College in the nearby town of Forres, the community extends also to individuals, businesses and organisations within a 50-mile radius...

Forthcomming weekend I will attend a "Waldgarten Workshop" in Sterbfritz - Sinntal, near Frankfurt in Germany. The workshop will be held by Harald Wedig, who is in Permaculture since 1992. This will be my first contact with a moderate - climate based food forest. I am incredibly excited! Since I...

I've been thinking about heading for the Kimberleys next year to help establish some food gardens around the Broome & surrounding areas. Found some very inspiring stuff at  the RIG website: http://www.remoteindigenousgardens.net/ Any Permie comrades with info or insight please share! :)
