Permaculture
- GARDENS and ORCHARDS. We are designing our centre according to the Permaculture Design Principals Permaculture workshops are already being offered. And our intention is that our gardens will provide sufficient food for workshop participants.
- CHICKENS. We have hens (and a couple of roosters) that provide us with handfuls of eggs daily. They also scratch and aerate the soil in our gardens.
- COMPOST. We have built a compost processing structure out of a woven framework of thin eucalyptus branches. Due to the compost we already use from our compost toilets our trees are extraordinarily large for the short time we have been here.
- OTHER. We have plans to get our nursery going in the near future.
- WATER HARVESTING. Although the main house is still being constructed, we are capturing, storing and using water channeled from the completed roofs of the house for irrigation purposes.
