See the post on 'Farmer John' a real inspiration to us all. Permaculture, is a change in mind set. I have learn't SO many things the last few years here on the block, just because I opened my eyes and then my ears and began to work with Mother Nature and suddenly, things began to happen. First, I worked with bamboo, to make fences, gates, and raised garden beds. Then, I stumbled upon all the FREE manure and rotting hay, a girl could want. It seems I look at things and just know what I can do with them and I help others out by taking 'rubbish' off their hands and recycling it free of charge in my own environment. Pictures are coming to help others 'see' what rubbish you can salvage and put to good use, Organic gardening and Permaculture is really the way to go...ask your bank manager!!! :) Thank you all for the comments, yes I think it’s about time we all thought about and started to be pro-active in replenishing our beautiful land.

A truly impressive sight and one which, if it weren't for the incessant rain, I would love to emulate here in my own garden in Wales. A hundred years ago the cottages of the British Isles were all similar there was even a "cottage garden" design movement; it is just that in the intervening years our gardening habits have designated the garden as an "outdoor room" instead of seeing it as a useful asset to be developed for our food needs, and thus our native skills have declined as we have taken more and more on board from our "garden designers" and gone down the mall for our food needs. Do I have a downer on garden designers - no: I used to be one in another life, it is just that we maybe, need to get back on track, personally I am a fan of the Permaculture movement. on my travels through the European country of Slovenia, I was always impressed with the inhabitants gardens – a profusion of flowers, fruit bushes and trees, vegetables, bee-hives, even in the smallest of plots, some with vines growing up walls – nearly each and every house was directly in touch with the majority of what they ate, all fortified with natural fertilisers.
