Here's a slide show of some photos detailing a couple of the projects we have launched at Ibis to promote the production and growing of local organic food
Matt and I have made use of the eclectic array of bits and bobs lying around the campus (being good permaculturalists) and through a couple of permablitzes and weekend work blitzes we have managed to create a fairly decent system incorporating:
- A sizzling hot compost
- A bread Crate Worm farm (Industrial size!)
- An experimental tub compost system (doesn't work!)
- A garden raised garden bed system
We still have way too much food scraps to handle at the moment but we should be upping the ante massively on the hot composts.
We will also mix in wood chips with the scraps as we go, preventing a nitrogen overdose that
creates stench and gaseous toxic sludge which makes poo smell good!, and giving us a nicer product that we can work into larger compost systems.
Our long term view is to build a nice working herb Spiral and a mandala garden design, a couple of classic permaculture design solutions which will provide great demonstration sites for our darling school students!!!;
enjoy the slides:
