Permaculture Transformation In 90 Days
The Story:After local property owners retired, they decided that rather than sit in front of a TV and spend an average of 5 hours a week tending lawns and ornamental shrubs, they would do one of Geoff Lawton’s Permaculture PDC courses.
After completing Geoff’s course they were so inspired that they continued and attended Paul Taylors Permaculture Soils Course. At the end of the courses, design in hand, they asked Paul if he would help them implement their design and enhance it where he could. Since Paul just lived down the road and over the hill, he agreed.
With the help of a few young travellers from the Byron Bay backpackers, all hand on deck and the project began. The owners already had a tractor so the labour was a lot easier, eventually the design for the 1 acre ‘zone 1’ project would be 80% food forest and just 20% annual cropping.
The property was all up about 50 acres, about half forest with some grazing areas and lots of lawn this project was designed by the owners for the acre of lawn.
The large areas of lawn only had about 2 inches of topsoil on top of a heavily compacted clay base, so they decided that they would like to best use a mix of topsoil and compost to form raised beds since they preferred sitting on the edge of raised beds to bending over. The Plan was to use cheap local timber to make the beds that would rot away over the next 5-6 years. By this time, they would have made enough compost and collected enough farm waste to build up the topsoil over the entire acre to have a nice fluffy productive area. All the raised beds were the same size so a chicken tractor could be cycled around, and over the next 8 weeks we made 25 tonnes of compost, mostly from on farm resources and mixed this with some of the topsoil from making the dam to fill the raised beds.
Many of the raised beds were designed to be inter-planted with fruit trees, the ornamental shrubs, which were planted in areas where the topsoil was a bit deeper and removed, added to the compost and replaced with fruit trees, berries and banana circles in their subtropical climate.
One of the opportunities they had was a road above a ridge on the property that was about 12 meters higher than their new garden area, so all agreed to take advantage of this opportunity and build a 600,000L dam on the high ridge and fill it by connecting it to a road runoff drain some 500 meters away. This meant that they had the opportunity to build about 500Mts of swale that could not only serve as a water course to fill the dam from the road runoff, but it would also provide an opportunity to reduce erosion and and create an area to immediately populate with fruit trees, so yes, opportunity to fix an erosion gully, plant trees and fill and dam that would irrigate their gardens without the need for pumping.
Just a note: that in the first year this acre produced over 2 tons of veggies, if all of these were sold at local farmers market prices of $5 per kilo, this would equate to about $10,000 for not much more time invested than mowing the lawns and giving a whole lot healthier lifestyle on many levels, not just for being active, eating better food, turning waste into compost, managing road runoff that was causing erosion but as an example that inspired family and friends to grow their own veggie gardens as well.
One of the young travellers decided to document this whole thing, make a movie and put it on you tube as ‘permaculture transformation in 90 days’. Yes, the voice over is essentially terrible since it was just a recording while using a monotone dictation program to write a basic script and a proper voice over was never done.
However, remember if you are going to be interested in Permaculture then one of the permaculture primaries is to ‘turn problems into solutions’ so thanks for the feedback and I’ll make sure that we film it better next time.Thanks for reading….. Paul Taylor

Droves of people have turned to local food as a way to retreat from our broken industrial food system. From rural outposts to city streets, they are sowing, growing, selling, and eating food produced close to home―and they are crying out for agricultural reform. All this has made “local food” into everything from a movement buzzword to the newest darling of food trendsters.
But now it’s time to take the conversation to the next level. That’s exactly what Philip Ackerman-Leist does in Rebuilding the Foodshed, in which he refocuses the local-food lens on the broad issue of rebuilding regional food systems that can replace the destructive aspects of industrial agriculture, meet food demands affordably and sustainably, and be resilient enough to endure potentially rough times ahead.
Changing our foodscapes raises a host of questions. How far away is local? How do you decide the size and geography of a regional foodshed? How do you tackle tough issues that plague food systems large and small―issues like inefficient transportation, high energy demands, and rampant food waste? How do you grow what you need with minimum environmental impact? And how do you create a foodshed that’s resilient enough if fuel grows scarce, weather gets more severe, and traditional supply chains are hampered?
Showcasing some of the most promising, replicable models for growing, processing, and distributing sustainably grown food, this book points the reader toward the next stages of the food revolution. It also covers the full landscape of the burgeoning local-food movement, from rural to suburban to urban, and from backyard gardens to large-scale food enterprises.

“This is a love story in three parts about how I ended up with much more than I bargained for, and grew beyond the person I thought I’d be.”
Anna Hess spent her early childhood chasing ornery cows back into the barn, eating all of her family’s strawberries before they got ripe so she didn’t have to share them, and climbing sap-riddled pine trees. The reality of farm life seemed to be summed up in one word — bliss. So when her back-to-the-lander parents threw in the towel and moved the family to a nearby town, Anna resolved to save her pennies and find a farm of her own, one that she would never have to leave.
A couple of decades later, Anna had bought the property, but soon realized she couldn’t make her dreams come true alone. When a friend set her up with a potential mate, Anna went along grudgingly. “To be honest, at the time I was still pretty sure that a farm and a man were incompatible,” Anna wrote, “and given the choice I leaned toward the farm.” Little did she know that the best partnership was a threesome — a man, a woman, and a farm.
Overflowing with photos, this book serves as a preface to the popular homesteading blog, Walden Effect.

Winner of the American Horticultural Society Award for Excellence In Garden Book Publishing
Winner of the Silver Medal for Best Reference from the Garden Writer’s Association
Filled with advice for the home gardener and the more seasoned horticulturist alike, The Seed Garden: The Art and Practice of Seed Saving provides straightforward instruction on collecting seed that is true-to-type and ready for sowing in next year’s garden. In this comprehensive book, Seed Savers Exchange, one of the foremost American authorities on the subject, and the Organic Seed Alliance bring together decades of knowledge to demystify the time-honored tradition of saving the seed of more than seventy-five coveted vegetable and herb crops―from heirloom tomatoes and long-favored varieties of beans, lettuces, and cabbages to centuries-old varieties of peppers and grains.
With clear instructions, lush photographs, and easy-to-comprehend profiles on individual vegetable crops, this book not only teaches us how to go about conserving these important varieties for future generations and for planting out in next year’s garden, it also provides a deeper understanding of the importance of saving these genetically valuable varieties of vegetables that have evolved over the centuries through careful selection by farmers and home gardeners.
Through simple lessons and master classes on crop selection, pollination, roguing, and the processes of harvesting and storing seeds, this book ensures that these time-honored traditions can continue. Many of these vegetable varieties are treasured for traits that are singular to their strain, whether that is a resistance to disease, an ability to grow well in a region for which that crop is not typically well suited, resistance to early bolting, or simply because it is a great-tasting variety. In an age of genetically modified crops and hybrid seed, a growing appreciation for saving seeds of these time-tested, open-pollinated cultivars has found a new audience from home vegetable gardeners and cooks to restaurant chefs and local farmers.
Whether interested in simply saving seeds for home use or working to conserve rare varieties of beloved squashes and tomatoes, this book provides a deeper understanding of the art, the science, and the joy of saving seeds.

Thriving 23-Year-Old Permaculture Food Forest – An Invitation for Wildness
In the small town of Riverton at the bottom of New Zealand’s South Island is Robert and Robyn Guyton’s amazing 23-year-old food forest. The 2-acre property has been transformed from a neglected piece of land into a thriving ecosystem of native and exotic trees where birds and insects live in abundance. Robert and Robyn are a huge inspiration to us, not only for their beautiful approach to healing the land and saving heritage trees and seeds, but for the way they’ve impacted on their local community.They’ve operated an environment centre in their town for over 20 years, where the community comes together to learn and discuss, buy produce and sit by the warm fire over a cuppa. We’ve even heard of folk who’ve up and moved to Riverton because they’re so inspired by the Guytons!
