Post 100? Wow!
A bit of a milestone for this little blog that started life as an experiment to get some blogging and website experience and then morphed into a sustainability and appropriate technology site.
So what to post? Why not a couple of random photos showing a taste of the backyard food forest bursting forth after our earlier permablitz and some of the produce.
A couple of panoramic shots of the some of the fruit trees showing the lush growth after installing the mulch pits. You can see Pears, Olives and one of the Loquat trees in this shot.
Peaches and Apricots galore!
The Grapes along the side fence are also doing very well.
A selection of produce and the Plum and Apricot jams I made this afternoon. And there is so much left on the trees, I will be able to bottle a several kilos of the apricots as well. I love apricots 🙂 .
Even the Squash is taking over!
Quite Literally
Well there you have it, a small selection of pictures showing some of the amazing results of the Permablitz. We have so much fresh goodies growing in the garden. And that doesn’t include the eggs and the honey.
The funny thing is we have been really busy over the last three months and have hardly had a chance to work in the garden/food forest so it is significantly under producing! We expect that, in 2015 we will have a huge surplus and the food forest will become almost self sustaining.
And that is simply awesome!
I have finally posted the November edition of The Good Earth podcast on the website

You may recall, I posted recently here about the ATA entry in the Google Impact Challenge and asking for your support.
Well the good news is that the judges at the presentations in Sydney were so impressed with the standard of entries that they awarded grants to the six finalists who did not receive the main awards. The ATA received a $250,000 grant to continue the good work ATA is doing in Timor Leste.
This result is a tribute to all the hard work the ATA and their supporters (like you) do and everybody involved should be congratulated!
You can read more about the result on the ATA website.
The Good Earth Podcasts!
What? You have a Podcast? Yes, I have a Podcast!
Many will be aware that I have a monthly gardening show on 3WBC 94.1 FM community Radio in Melbourne (www.3wbc.org.au) called “The Good Earth“. This show as part of a larger group of programs and shows at Wonderful World Media (WWM). Most of the Good Earth shows are podcast on the WWM site (www.wwmn.net) and I thought it was about time I shared them here as well.
I will provide a link to the latest show at www.wwmn.net when they are put up and I have also provided a link to the previous shows here as well.
So sit back, and enjoy the madness that is my gardening show with my Co-host Kathy Smalley on
“The Good Earth”
