Hello Everyone  I just wanted to greet the community I recently completed a PDC and I'm looking to join permaculture efforts and help our planet

Peter started being a Bee Stewart in 2010.  He built a 'Top Bar' hive and recieved a colony from a local beekeeper.

I'm experimenting.  Trying new approaches to permaculture design.  Now, I'm definitely not the first to come up with a swale pathway, but I've added another little feature... a deeper depression below the swale line which acts like a little dam.  All the soil that I dug up from the hole I mounded...

Right outside the kitchen door was the perfect spot for a high bed.  Red bricks on the terrace side, the outside perimeter created with posts and willow branches.  Peter did the pounding of posts and I did the planting.  This was completed in 2009. Now the bed needs some rejuvenation and renovat...

In 2009 we were enjoying the rush of the vitality and diversity that the pond provided. In order to ensure areated water Peter dug a creek that was feed from water collected from the roof of our shed.   Unfortunately, the stones we used were too small and the creek was quickly filled in after a...

Our last project in 2008 was designing and creating a pond.  Our ground is clay clay clay ideal for a pond without a liner.  Timber was used to reinforce a two meter deep swim area. Two regeneration areas were also incorporated.  It was an incredible experience.  Frogs, newts, and dragonflies soo...

Enlarging our Compost holding was our next challenge.  Peter was at work digging again, pounding in support beams, and building two wooden compost bins with a covered space between them for staw bales. The system works well.  We have learned to put only finer mulch material here such as kitchen ...
