Well as I said sometime ago I've put aside the money and have enrolled for the online PDC with Geoff Lawton. You actually enter into an interactive world that really blows your mind. My partner was a bit critic on my decision, not to convinced of the online format. Sunday after enrolling I showed...

Creating a small, self sufficient permaculture eco village in the fertile Sth Gippsland hills. Opportunity to build several small eco dwellings and help develop permaculture property.

I'd say the install was a success. It held water and the berm grew the mixes we initially seeded it with without a problem. The Sunchokes you see here will be used to expand plantings out into Zone 2. The corn, comfrey and cilantro all grew as expected as well.  So the takeaway is that if you ...

It’s like having a feral piggie running around the orchard at night. Plus, that little piggie has friends, quite a few of them in fact. What on Earth am I talking about? Fatso, who is King of the wombats here at the farm, that’s what I’m talking about. He’s a big wombat and usually camera s...

Excited to work on the online PDC!

The CurriculumThe curriculum for the six weeks is a coordination of theory and hands-on field work. Practical application of the principles of permaculture is fundamental to the understanding of its teaching.  Permaculture provides the framework and guide which we refer to on the journey to susta...

Well I'm buried in the snow right now.  But I'm researching and planning, trying to use some observations from living on my first property this winter to help me in tweeking the design.  One thing that's already come up more than once that I wasn't really expecting is the MegaFarmer on both sides...
