  • Beehives are placed near the Permaculture Orchard

    Hives are constantly monitored – changes are often required.

  • The Permaculture Orchard is in bloom – plums are first.

    Plums are laden with fruit this year (2018), the second summer in their short lives. The bees introduced no doubt have made a big difference!

  • Runner ducks introduced to control slugs & snails, & it works!

    When ducks go foraging in the grass, they dig deep into mud & undergrowth with their beaks and sniff out the bugs.

  • Red Rascal potatoes.

    Red Rascal are a main crop potato. This picture shows Red Rascal growing in “Potato towers”.

  • NZ Spinach, Cauliflower, Coloured Beet

    Making the most of available space during the winter months.

  • Lettuce, beet & kale grow well during winter, and not so fast as in summer.

    It doesn’t bolt in winter, and it’s too cold for the snails to come out.

  • Lots of leafy greens get their nutrients from compost made on the property.

    Compost is made from cut grass, chipped prunings, and organic chicken manure.

  • Vertical crops

    Beans are a regular crop – high yields in a small space.

  • Chickens add biodiversity to growing areas.

    Heritage breed laying hens produce excellent eggs, but more importantly they break pest cycles when foraging.
