Our rocket stove / pizza oven combo has taken a while – over 3 years of just sitting there. It’s an old washing ‘copper boiler’, the thing your great grandmother might have used, and...
2 Years ago, we participated in a very successful day for the national Garage Sale Trail day. We’ve decided to do it again this year, and it’s now over the whole weekend. SAT 21st...

Have had an extremely busy 12 months, and decided (plus encouraged) to take it a bit easier in the 2nd half of this year. Will still be growing heaps of veg, but probably a...
Just finished watching this short series on the ABC – and it’s great that it has received a bit of attention in the media, social media and general conversation. At first, I wasn’t so...

It’s been ages since we’d been down to Tassie, and honestly, it sounded like a good idea when we booked the boat in October! Anyway, despite the stress of harvesting post xmas produce, packing,...
Thought I’d provide an update on some happenings in our Permaculture Garden by showing some images (All taken during the month of November). I hope your garden is flourishing, and I guess we can...
Part one – The Site For some background on the origin of the idea – please see previous post: Biointensive Urban Farming vs Edible Forest Gardens. In July 2016 it happened – I was able...
And almost not the kind of busy that’s good for your health, at least when what you’re meant to be doing is being the ‘stay-at-home-parent’. The “I had too much gardening to do today”...
Of course, it’s obvious isn’t it, we need both! I’ve just returned from a 9 day Forest Garden Design Intensive with Dave Jacke… So much information to absorb, and such an eye opening and intensely...
We're often happy to barter our produce & services for some combination of the items below, by arrangement.
Excess quality produce and fruit from fruit trees (Apples, Lemons, stone fruit, grapefruit etc) are almost always welcome.
- Plastic pots & seedling trays
- Straw / Lucerne / Peastraw
- Relishes & Preserves
- Tomatoes (we never seem to grow enough!)
- Seeds, if we can use them
- Home-baked bread
- Fruits eg Passion-fruit, kiwi.
- Items for the compost: Kitchen scraps, shredded paper, sawdust, coffee grounds.
- Much more... make a suggestion
It's fairly easy to approximate value: A large bag of coffee grounds for a couple of bunches of herbs, a bag of apples for a potted plant or some seedlings, etc.
