I live on a small suburban block in Southern Sydney, on which I try to grow as much food as I can. I've always practiced organic gardening with composting, worm farming and green manuring and am wanting to learn more about permaculture in practice and how I can develop food gardens beyond just organic. I also deliver short gardening workshops for schools and community groups. . I heard this was a good place for learning and sharing of ideas
Welcome Alicat, You're doing great by building your soil with worms, compost, and green manures ... living soils are key to working "in concert with nature", a basic tenet of Permaculture. But you're right, there's so much more such as guilds, energy flows, food forests, and more. Ask questions about specifics and/or concepts. We'd love to hear more about your gardens and plans/projects.
Thanks Bill, I'm fortunate to have access to a few established 'basic' permaculture systems via the schools where I provide workshops. All very interesting. Am looking forward to learning more about everything . Will be sure to ask lots of specific questions as they arise. Thanks
