In december I started cutting the first exotic shrubs, starting with the Aucuba japonicas which were everywhere and a bamboo plant that was blocking the entire sight on the garden from the house. I still left the rest till next winter because I first wanted to see them in summer with leaves and f...

After the first big clean-up we decided to set up a central plot for annual and perennial vegetables this year still, so that we will be able to have a yield next growing season. A large quantity of cardboard was used to cover the grasses and we bought 15 m³ of compost. The problem with the deliv...

The aim of this garden is to demonstrate what permaculture can do for people, to explain the principles in practice, to organise work shops to deepen the understanding of the principles. It is also meant as a gathering place for the whole village to experience permaculture, transition, living sim...

Today I have drawn my map of jobbies that I would like to see carried out on Saturday, which is when the first Permablitz that I know of will take place at my home. I am fearing (but loving!) a great assembly of people from many corners of the island, therefore I need to have very clear what I ca...

Planting seedlings into the vegie beds needs to happen while it's cool, hence the need for an evening gardening session. This session is open to the public - just enter the garden from Vannam Drive, Ashwood opposite Beechwood Terrace. We'll start at 6pm, eat a picnic dinner (BYO), then get stuck...

So Nick and our current permaculture interns set to work completely dis-mantling the rocket stove water heater and examining all its components. We made new discoveries and adjustments,  put it all back together, and then covered the whole thing with mud. Read More »

Since solving this problem is both necessary and interesting, we decided to develop an intern project around it. The brief: design, implement and plant a system that makes use of intermittent excess water, shelters the intern camp and shed, and provides a useful yield. Go, you fabulous ...
