I bought the property in July 2012 and am slowly renovating the house using ecological materials and methods where possible and have started to grow food. Ideas for the future include planting a forest garden and creating an association to encourage a low impact lifestyle.Liza Sweetinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03608341831277667657noreply@blogger.comBlogger133125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643327606019358857.post-79110977145793556932021-09-19T22:43:00.002-07:002021-09-19T22:43:34.559-07:00Dora<p> Dora came to visit and help out for 10 days.

They have been sculpted by a pioneering woman called Evelyn with the help of countless volunteers and people attending her on-site construction courses. They are part of a wider initiative to demonstrate low impact living that is closer to nature. The pods are surrounded by trees, shrubs and other plants that provide shade, food and building materals.

So, as requested - a post all of his own .... in recognition that Il Soo is our first visitor from Asia He was educated in Singapore and the US and has a degree in Chinese literature and came here to learn a little about rural living, permaculture and vegan cuisine. Congratulations on adapting so well to a lifestyle that must be pretty alien for someone who has always lived in big cities.<br />

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...<br />

Tejal is studying philosophy in the UK and is president of the University vegan society . Marguerite studies food systems in the USA and is a yoga fitness enthusiast. We worked in the garden and spent many hours discussing the vegan issue and the problems related to food waste and animal agriculture and how they contribute to pollution and global warming.... it was a pleasure to meet two such well informed, passionate and committed vegans ... it seems to me that veganism is the only sane and humane way forward ...<br />

Lawrence, an English workaway volunteer, arrived a few weeks ago fresh from a motorbike trip around South America. It wasn't until after a few weeks here that he casually slipped into the conversation that he had a first class art degree from one of the most prestigious art schools in the UK and that he was a straight A star student .... anyway he put his evident talents to use here and decided to create a sculptural herb spiral using stones recuperated from the old falling down barn on the land here ....<br />

We will soon be putting name tags for everyone around the fruit trees that we have put in so far ... there are more to come but we may have to wait until November now for the rest as the weather is changing. We have bought the scythe and grelinette (broad fork) which will come in very handy for loosening up compacted soil and cutting nettles and ferns for mulch. Some images so far ....<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you both for all your help - you have transformed the garden, made huge headway with the terrace, made jam and chutney and learned lots about permaculture. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Good luck Rosie with your exciting future - to grow organic food ... somewhere, somehow ... at a crucial time for our ailing planet ... what a noble pursuit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Bon continuation to you Louise - have fun and learn loads on your wwoofing adventures for next year.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
