This season we are bring you mini episodes each week. These are designed to be under 10 mins of fast practical information you can use in your Permaculture Journey. They are not comprehensive so do your own research.

Week number #1 is Seed Saving. A few ideas for keeping your seeds in tip top condition.

In the words of bugs bunny... That's all folks!⁠ ⁠ What a whirl wind into the world of podcasting.

A BIG thanks to all our guests who selflessly gave up their time to come and speak with us.

We have learnt so much from you. ⁠And we are so grateful. You have all supported us and encouraged us. It means the world. ⁠ ⁠ 

And a HUGE thanks to our listeners. It's weird chatting and sending it out to the world. But when we get lovely comments, messages and interactions with our listeners- it gives us the warm and fuzzies. ⁠ 

Our hope is to make even the teeniest impact into someone's life. To keep you company when you garden, give you something to giggle at, a new technique to try, a new piece of knowledge. If we can do that then it's all worth it. ⁠ ⁠ 

Season 2 starts back up on the 22nd March. We will still be in social media land if you want to reach out. Behind the scenes we will be recording with some EPIC people and we cant wait to share. ⁠ See you then! ⁠

Chris Arnold aka The Green Thumb Guru speaks with Alysse about how he went from starting a small garden and self educating himself about Permaculture to filling up his 300sqm block, taking over the verge, engaging with his community and how it was time to spread his wings and grow. He and his family are now a year into being on 16 acres in the Manning Valley on the lands of the Biripi people. Chris is open about his experience and shares the good and the challenges along the way including the issues he faced scaling up. 

Grab that cuppa and enjoy.

Tyson Yunkaporta - Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World

Yep it't that time of the year. Zucchini's are seemly growing a centimetre per minute. You have successfully grown an abundance of vegetables.

Now what? There are so many you can't possibly eat them all, or even give them away fast enough. This our friends is the Summer veggie Glut. It happens to even the best garden planner.

But the question is what to do with it all? Here is our take on how to minimise the glut (waste) and eat/preserve your produce in various ways to make the most of the glut. Enjoy! 

Ever wondered about Native bees? Well this week we dive into Native Bees with Steve an expert in the field.

He tells us about Native Stingless Bees, what they need, how to care for them, why he loves them and so much more.

We were surprised to know they seemed so much easier than European honey bees to keep and we are both going to be buying hives in the near future.

Spoiler alert!! Jo did the course she bought for her husband. (Not what I planned but life changed and I couldn't say no). Next season we will be welcoming home a few hives of our own.

This week we chat about People Care. Looking after self, kin and community. If people’s needs are met in compassionate and simple ways, the environment surrounding them will prosper.

We had such a wonderful conversation talking mushrooms with Kellie from the Pickled Patch.

We learnt that mushrooms are far easier to grow than we thought.

We had a lot of laughs and learnt tons during our interview. We hope you do too. 

Enjoy.
