Easter 'Permablitz'

Dale was up or down (depending on weather your standing upright or on your head) from Tasie
this weekend, on break from a Permaculture course run by Southern Cross Permaculture Institute.

This was awesome as I had the opportunity to pick his brains about a recent Straw Bale Course that he had just completed and that I aim to complete in July and to share some permaculture stories.

I also thought it would be a great opportunity to engage in a micro blitz on our block and setup a couple of sheet mulched garden beds. (Sheet mulching is a quick way to build garden beds; involving layers of cardboard, hay, horse poo, and compost).

In a couple of hours we had two garden beds, filled with peas, lettuce, broccoli and cabbage (a good autumn selection).

On our N - S block we should see some good rapid autumn growth through into the winter.
