Small scale urban design for a client based in Melbourne, Australia

Yesterday I got my parcel from GreenHarvest containing my much awaited Comfrey roots, Queensland Arrowroot corms, and Ginger roots. The Arrowroot corms went into various spots around the garden, and although maybe a bit hap hazard in my planting there is reason to my madness. They went into dif...

"After a lecture of mine, I once heard an architecture student say, "I still don't see why all this has been discussed.

After a rather productive evening on the PRI  forum, I made the decision to build a worm farm in a bathtub. I was rather fortunate to be able to pick up a nice tub from a client of mine who is doing a bathroom renovation and I had planned to use it as a water trough for visiting horses, but ala...

Yesterday I picked up an old bathtub from a client of mine who is doing a major bathroom renovation. I also scored his old shower basin, though I am not sure yet what to do with that. Anyways... the bathtub was to be used as a water trough for visiting horses, but after visiting the PRI formum l...
