She was Bill Mollison's neighbour

Cara and Antoine stopped by for a few days to lend a hand.  Cara casually dropped into the conversation that she had grown up in rural Tasmania with Bill Mollison (the co-creator of permaculture) as a neighbour.  How cool is that!!  We got lots of scything, mulching and weeding done during their short stay and had some great discussions ..... Cara is trained in architecture and furniture making and Antoine has studied wine making .... they have plans to create an ecological project in the near future...

Antoine got to work scything nettles and ferns
for mulch material for the garden ..
 

Sharpening the blade ...
 

The grim reaper!!
 

Mulching the garden ...
 

The mulched leeks and celery ...
 

Cara adding grass cutiings as mulch ...
 

Having a little rest ...

harvest ... and plats them together.
 

Thanks for your company, your enthusiasm and for helping out in the garden.  Good luck with your project.
