Where are the permies ?
Hi Kirsty,
it's not quite dead. Len has never given up (good on you!) but a lot of
the regulars have vanished, alright. Well it's good to see new folks
comin' in!
I really enjoyed looking through your site. Looks fabulous! Makes me
long for warmer climes (I'm in Ireland).
Have you checked out our (as in the group's) website
http://www.ibiblio.org/permaculture-online/index.html
?
I also have a little chicken tractor (built from wood) but supplement
that with extra range fenced off with electric poultry netting as there
is very little room inside it (and thankfully I have the space).
I just moved them from the softfruit garden into a goat paddock (the
goats are currently interested only in the hay feeder in the yard - it's
mid-winter here) and put lots of little heaps of aged manure all over
that paddock as well. Here comes the test: will they finally work for
*me* for a change and spread the manure? It's full of earthworms so
there is an incentive
We'll see.

I'm very interested in seeing/hearing about anyones experiences with their
permaculture gardens of whatever size. (ideas that they have taken on that
I might use)
And I am willing to share whatever I can give as a novice.
I am presently attempting to permaculture my whole suburban block. Which I
have kept an online blogg on for the past year (give or take missing a month
here and there)
This is my 'learning' curve for when I buy a bigger property and take it on
more as a full time job. I figure if I am unable to'manage' the suburban
block then what hope have I got on a larger scale. So far so good. I
generally work in the garden 3 weekends out of every month. I work full time
at my own business so my time is scarce.
To be honest my 'chicken' tractor does a good deal of the work for me. I
would highly recommend one.
