We had a social get together to make paper pots.

The Green temple mandala garden is based on the layout of the Purple Pear mandala.   So why a mandala garden? Well, I've been gardening veggies in some form or other for at least 20 years I reckon, whether it be a tomato in a pot or some lettuces in a polystyrene box. I've tried the square ...

Many of the people I have corresponded with on the Permiculture Forums here in the United States really think of Permaculture as a collection of "techniques" they hope to be able to try out and use on their places.  This is unfortunate.  Permaculture is more than sound bite techniques.  This is w...

In the late winter of 2011, we are hosting a weekend PDC which has 15 students in it right now.  It’s a really great group and with the format I am able to continue designing and implementing pC gardens around the city.  In Northside, which is one of the hotspots for community and PC in Cincinnat...

don't feed grain to the birds rotating over a bed...........unless you want a green manure crop rather than the crops you planted LOL I guess that should have been obvious if I'd thought about it but unfortunately I didn't, oh well the chickens will enjoy eating it when they get back to that bed...

In examining how the roof trusses were built, I made these sketches:       I obtained some 4" x 3/4" x 12' spruce boards (hemlock or fir would have worked also) and tried to form them over the best of the existing trusses, but they were dry and wouldn't bend that far without cracking.  ...

Hi All I wanted to tap into the observations and expertise of people with experience of Eucalyptus trees, as I think that this could be one of the benefits of this Network. If you have seen my earlier posts, you'll be aware that much of my emphasis is on bee forage plants. In the UK, there are ...

The first project on the list this Sunday was to move the Big Blue Bus to its final home. We've been working to set up the bus as a camper to use while building the house. After the house is built we'll convert it to a workshop. We'd decided we want to move her to what will eventually be the back...

The right date on the pictures is of course 2011, these are the views of the garden area and the yard. Most of the garden had been tilled in the place of vegetable beds. We will have to negotiate with the local people working in this garden not to do it anymore. Also there will be a snail problem...

Costa’s Townsville Odyssey February 21st, 2011LeonEditNo comments It’s been almost a week since Costa came to visit us here in Townsville, and we’re still reeling from the vibrancy he temporarily instilled in this small city. First stop for Costa was the Mary Who? Bookshop in the CBD, where ...

Charrette is a new word for me. It means a detailed design session. I hosted a charrette in my mother's home which is a short walk from my own property. My large and loving family is fully engaged and supportive of the efforts. As the owner of a 30 acre parcel of farm land (some field and some ...
