How big an area have you got there Luke?

Have the neighbours made any comments yet?

I use Inkscape for quite a few things. I really enjoy using it now that I have 'worked out' some of its functionality. It is not exactly intuitive but with a bit of patient use it does become pretty...

This is how some folks around here kept cats. They had a series of wire tunnels, some even going up into the trees. This way the cats could roam without putting the local birds and wildlife at risk....

Fire ants?

Welcome aboard Tim. I reckon the 'community' aspect of permaculture is probably one of the most important in terms of carrying it into the mainstream. I'm always happy to see more people 'joining...

Hi Gerry, I'll start by saying I have no concept of how much things cost to rent these days...

My initial reaction is to think that $300 seems like a lot of money for a small piece of undeveloped...

I went to look for that place you mentioned Andrew for your cork oaks, but I don't think it is what/where you think it is. I'll have a bit of a hunt around though.

I think we probably all agree on that... One of the things I have often pondered is that these ideas we all hold dearly (permaculture, LM etc) are still a way off becoming mainstream, and it will...

I'm half way through Vol.1 at the moment Luke. It really is a wonderful piece of work! It's one of those books I went into thinking I might learn something (read that I arrogantly thought I knew...

I think perhaps you are reading into my posts something which isn't there Len. Or perhaps you are just letting off steam in general and my post was a handy foil?

Maybe I am just a poor...

I still haven't received my copy but you already raise the points that concern me Eco. I still think that we need a revolution of the human mind on other topics for it to work. And I'll be honest...

One of the big exacerbating factors is that the export industry is preferred over the local trade industry. Globalisation and so called 'free trade agreements'. Farmers don't just trade their...

I reckon the saddest thing is that land is 'owned'. This is one of the fundamental problems with the way we run our society.

It just goes to support my own view... that is that a well made permaculture/productive garden also looks great. I reckon they look better than in most cases than all but the most well landscaped...

It's an important thread MouseITH. I'd love to know why you wanted to delete it.

All you have to do is go out into the car park and breath the air, go have a look at the local 'river', check out the farmers walking off the land, have a look at the starving folks in the third...

I haven't yet pebble. One day when I get the resources together I will though. In the meantime I absorb what ever I can and try to learn as much from my own little parcel of land as possible. I...

I just had a quick glance but will read more later there are things like this...



That flabbergasts me. Why would you waste 1.8 million on this when you could spend it on actually doing...

The trick is to combine it with a Shade house on the South side of the house. In the winter you can use vents to draw the warm air from the glasshouse in through the house and then in the summer you...

us boys and our toys eh.
