augh! Even better! Oh well. Could of had a further $6 saving!

Not sure if this is the place to post this or not but I have just purchased Gaia's Garden from fishpond for $32.90 (with free shipping). I have wanted this book for a while and couldn't resist at...

Whether they are the right questions or not, I have many. I am just asking them slowly so as not to overwhelm the kind permaculturists who answer them all.

I am one of the "lurkers" who reads a lot and gets a lot of information from here. The reason I don't post often (maybe this is true for others??) is that I don't really think I have a lot of insight...

Thanks all for the suggestions. I will move one of they boys on (anyone want a free rooster, I can't kill it and eat it myself=(). Then let the others do their thing until one of them gets broody.

Well,.... I am still reading! about permaculture that is. I have made some progress, mainly in the planning stages. Unfortunately I have 4 kids, wife at Uni and I am working full time. I haven't had...

Thank you everyone, I will build the swales along the natural lines, this seems the best way to make use of their water collecting purpose. I think the "old" gardener in me wanted neat, straight...

Hi all, great place to find out lots of info, thanks. I hope someone might be able to help me with a question on swales (as the start of a Food Forest)

I have a plot set aside of about 2000m2...

Thanks for the invite. I will check out the web site, thanks.

A nursery sounds pretty intense, are you talking about a bought one or a build your own? I hope to get chooks soon so have to also build the chook house.

No, not building. We have the house and pretty much a blank slate to play with. I will check out Purple Pear, thank you.
I will also start on composting. I have been collecting kitchen scraps and...
