Short Property Description

I’m qualified in horticulture, have been growing my own food for 35 years using organic, permaculture, electroculture, GANS, & now applying Masanoba Fukuoka natural farming methods. I love nurturing soils, plants, & an extensive flower garden for bees, birds & butterflies. My home land is 4 acres, with grassland & forest for kangaroos, a good orchard, wicking vegetable beds, ducks, bees, a small dog, and large flower gardens.

Organic/Biological methods we use

The property is cared for with permaculture & chemical free practices, using electroculture and GANS to improve plant health and growth, and developing Masanobu Fukuoka natural farming practices with a vision to have a food field. I would like to start growing grain too.

Saving seeds is important here, and growing heirloom vegetable varieties. On the property my emphasis is to increase the perennial food plants grown. I grow some native bush foods, and a range of herbs.

I am active in community permaculture activities & meetings.

Due to loving care of plants and trees, there is a most enjoyable range of birds singing every day! And frogs sing at night!
