I was a little bit horrified when i came to the conclusion that my permaculture solution to a number of "problems" was turf! But after putting aside my predjidis I have come to fully appreciate this...

I grow my ginger and turmeric intermingled in my rambling edible/ ornamental garden. I do not lift the rhizomes but leave them in the ground to use as needed.

I would like to find a companion...

Hi Sarah,

Any sheep will debark trees if they lack minerals in their diet. We provided mineral supplements to our sheep and have no de-barking issues. They will do quiet well on rough grasses and...

Hi Chris,

I just responded to you PM.

To anyone looking for some seeds the crazy queensland weather has meant that my tree hasn't set any seed this past season. If anyone wants some next year...

As I posed the question I should probably share my thoughts....

I am focusing on getting as many long term crops in the ground asap ( fruit and nut trees that may take as long as 10 years to...

So officially oil has peaked and we are all bracing for what the energy descent feature might bring. My question is this....

What do you want to achieve during the last years (months maybe?) of...

That's great news shimmergirl! My girl has also fully recovered and has grown her wool/ hair back, is stacking on the weight and is even in lamb :) Not bad considering we didn't expect her to...

Be glad to share a permaculture paradise with you all when the shit hits the fan.

Sue that is FANTASTIC! must give that a go!!!

Thanks eco!! I think mother nature provided a better selection than I could ever pick out of a catalogue :)

I got a bit over excited one day and planted out my food forest before I had collected my support species seeds and seedlings. I was a bit worried that the system would suffer but nature stepped in...

Sorry for my lack of reply so far. It has been a weird season for the ice cream bean this time around. I got half a dozen pod off the tree in November and thought that was it but is flowering like...

I read an article once that surprised me. All the fruit fly traps that I have ever seen have always been yellow, but according to this article the Mediterranean fruit fly is attracted to yellow but...

For my two cents worth;

I feel that regardless of personal beliefs about climate change, based on environmental destruction alone the consequences of inaction are far too horrid to contemplate.

I think you just answered your own question. "OUR coal" and "OUR natural gas". As long as we are willing to sell these fossil fuels there will always be someone eager to buy them. We as a country...

No apology needed, I've been taking notes:)
