I have also noticed that when questions get asked, there is a quick response from quite a few people. So I guess this ng is quite efficient and effective, as permaculture should be. :-) Cam |

Hello
Hi there,
this group used to be much more active and some of the things discussed even ended up on a group website at http://www.ibiblio.org/permaculture-online/index.html (which admittedly I haven't worked on in ages... sorry). A lot of good info has gone through this group but there've also been some fights and I think some folks just got tired and moved on ... or went out into their gardens I myself am no exception and still think fondly of the early days of this NG. I hadn't checked in a good while, just been too busy, but was delighted to find Kirsty's post and the great pic on her website! So let's breath some life back into the group.

Hello
The message
from "Michael May" contains these words: Is this group active? It used to be, but Lawrence London, who claimed it was his own, wore down every other contributor in the end. Janet. |

Hello
But there are probably quite a few "lurkers" like me, who drop in from time
to time to see what one can learn. You could also go to the Permaculture website. There are bound to be some links there. http://www.ibiblio.org/permaculture-online/index.html Judanne in Tasmania "Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ...

Hello Janet. Lawrence London sounds like a villain in a Walt Disney kids movie. Well there seems to have been a few posts in the past week. Up until now, each time that I have checked it had seemed like a ghost-group. What happened and how did someone called Lawrence London manage to stifle a group devoted to permaculture? I thought those sort of things only happened in the kids groups. I thought you guys would be pretty good regarding pest control. Well, I'm Jeff Anderson, I am in Queensland Australia, a sub-tropical area, and I have just renewed my interest in gardening/permaculture. I have a half acre riverfront home and am in the process of tearing up lawns and replacing them with fruit and nut trees, vegetable gardens and fruit bearing vines. I am fortunate in that the climate allows year round planting for most vegetables as well as quite rapid growth. I have had vegetable gardens before but not really got into true permaculture. I watched a documentary on permaculture a couple of years ago and subsequently developed quite an interest in the concept. How many people (lurkers) read this group? Anyone have a rough idea? How long before Lawrence London makes an appearance? Regards Jeff |

He's the kind of guy who sets up his pc to constantly monitor the internet for mentions of his name; so not long.

Hello
g'day jeff,
i'm here in sth east qld, just north of gympie on near 70 acres. don't do all that hard yakka ripping up the lawn leave it there and plant over the top of it raised beds are the way to go and depending on your soil type most often heavy clay you will need to plant your fruit trees slightly raised then mulch between them do it all on the contours. just some thoughts ted still isn't online he is still setting up hus home and gardens and much too busy, hasn't finished unloading the first 40 foot container yet and another still in brissy waiting to be transported and unloaded, this job will keep him young for a long time yet i reckon. we hope to get to see them soon as we are looking at doing a business type course at maryborough TAFE in ted n sheenas territory. take care all len snipped -- happy gardening 'it works for me it could work for you,' "in the end ya' gotta do what ya' gotta do" but consider others and the environment http://home.dnet.aunz.com/gardnlen/ |
