25.01.2022 Introducing Tabebuia rosea or the pink trumpet tree. What a beauty!!! Looking at small things nature provides to keep me grateful and grounded #pinktrumpettree #tabebuiarosea #naturescolours #smallthings #begrateful
25.01.2022 To help me stay grounded and look after my health (head &body) ive made a patch at mullum gardens where i can grow WHATEVER I WANT...so excited. Needed to prep the soil first though so ive added some zeolite, crusher dust, innoculant, compost, cardboard mulch and of course some ready to go biochar from @byron_biochar. Biochar is such a good additive for so many reasons and im lucky to be in an area where i can get the best quality! With this wet weather ill start planting it out in the next few days and ive been working on a nice planting plan to incorporate veges and herbs so keep an eye out!!
25.01.2022 Troopy goes bush. Loving the exploration I can do now. Currently in Darwin exploring and having a fabulous time. Will post some photos soon. #troopyadventures #troopylife #explore #australianbush #yeww!
25.01.2022 Our global food system is broken. In fact, the UN estimates we have fewer than 60 years of farmable soil left on Earth. And many of us are concerned that gov...ernments, pesticide manufacturers and Big Ag want to control what we eat. However, there ARE solutions. And our movie The Need to GROW documents disruptive (and hopeful!) new technology that threatens to shift the balance of power AWAY from the global food companies And into the hands of the people. If youre passionate about healthy food and creating a brighter future for our planet, please watch this film (for free) right away: https://grow.foodrevolution.org/ Many deep-rooted corporate interest groups want this technology to quietly disappear. We cant let that happen. We WONT let it happen. Which is why were sharing our movie for free at: https://grow.foodrevolution.org/ The more people who watch this movie (and learn about these solutions)... The more chance we have of leaving our children and grandchildren a green, healthy, thriving planet. https://grow.foodrevolution.org/ The film is engaging, informative and compelling without being preachy. It will give you hope, and inspire you to participate in the restoration of the Earth. Join us in making a difference. Watch the movie, learn about the solutions and spread the word: https://grow.foodrevolution.org/ See more
24.01.2022 Its official! Im off grid! Thanks Dom for the help connecting her up. Took me awhile to tackle this challenge but got there in the end #solar #vanlife #offgrid #alwayslearning
24.01.2022 There are only about 10,000 species of microbes that have been cultured and described formally, and yet there might be a billion species. That is why this study is so important.
24.01.2022 I asked for a new home and I got exactly what I needed...a small community with a massive garden, freedom to play and grow and friends to create with. The garden heals me and I with such a heavy year I needed a place to reconnect with growing. So stoked, it feels like the beginnings of something wonderful. #growyourownfood #nursery #timeinthegarden #playinthegarden #flowers #mentalhealthawareness
23.01.2022 Its been a long week...transitions are never easy and Im still finding my feet in this new adventure but its always easier with a little bit of local gin #fortheloveofgin #findingmyfeet #taketimeforyourself
23.01.2022 This is what japan does when a tree is in the road of a road...they carefully transplant it.....what do we do here?
22.01.2022 Big ones small ones some as big as your head....grown accidentally by my bestie in the wicking beds i built for her. She says she has a black thumb but this sunflower tells a different story! #growyourownfood #sunflower #saveyourseeds #greenthumb
21.01.2022 North bound for some exciting prospects....will be in the northern rivers for at least the next couple of weeks....if anyone wants to play, let me know!

20.01.2022 Found this bad boy weeding my food forest/garden...it was only a quick visit south this time but ill be back at rhe end of september and ill have a bit more time so if i missed you, dont despair, ill be back. The mid north coast is still my home and i feel a connection there that i dont feel other places. Looking forward to seeing you all again soonnnn
20.01.2022 Sunflower season makes me happy. i’m growing these bad boys at my plot @mullumcommunitygarden along with a bunch of other things. loving the deep red one #sunflowers #beefood #birdfood #sopretty
19.01.2022 I think im going to try soaking my seeds in my spit next time
17.01.2022 Any organic gardener or permie will know the value of cardboard. I use it as the base of all new garden beds....it kills the weeds or grass (while allowing the decomposing goodness back into the soil) and as it breaks down it encourages microbes to come to play -particularly fungi which likes the corrugations. Only draw back is the crazy amount of sticky tape they use which has to come off. Sunday funday is spent prepping materials for the growing new vege patch. #growyourownveges #cardboard #letthemicrobesplay #onemansrubbishanothergardenerstreasure

11.01.2022 For anyone that knows me, they will know how much i love my mat (tea from south america) so when you get permission to prune a mate tree you get pruning. So stoked....d never seen this plant before! #mate #ilovetea #newplant
10.01.2022 What a great idea!!
10.01.2022 No! This is not Legos. It DID NOT come with an instruction manual. This guy built this from a pile of pebbles. AMAZING!
10.01.2022 These wicking beds i built for my client last year couldnt be working better. As a busy full time worker and mum of two, time is a luxury but she can still have her own veges!! She only needs to top up the water reservoir every couple of weeks and the veges are pumping! The compost buckets in the middle feed the soil too! So happy with them! #wickingbeds #growyourownfood #evenwhenyouhavelittletime
09.01.2022 The sun sets on another adventure. Looking forward to hearing back to my home on the east coast carrying the lessons and love I've received in Australia's northern state. Will never forget this little trip for so many reasons. #nt #ntaustralia #darwin #adventure #lovemylife #isitoveralready

08.01.2022 Its beginning to look a lot like a hothouse. One of the most challenging building projects ive ever done....it was half designed and half built then left abandonded and working on other peoples projects without them can leave you often wondering what they were thinking. I also had the challenge of using scrap bits of wood to make the frame.... I love the challenege of using what you have and its very good at building problem solving skills... Weve got something up and she feels pretty sturdy...ive now left it to be finished by the guys at the lighthouse...have fun! The rest of the IBCs will be wicking beds, made like the ones in the forefront with little worm towers in the middle which we did as one of our PDC activities and should pump out some veg. #wickingbeds #hothouse #diychallenges #growyourownfood #problemsolving
06.01.2022 I love the variety of jobs i get to take on. Just getting back from 4 days doing bush regen with a delightful bunch of teenagers doing their duke of Edinburgh in beautiful barrington! #bushregen #clearingprivett #influenceourfutureforbetter #teenagerscanbedelightful?? @ Barrington, New South Wales, Australia
05.01.2022 Darwin has been a place of connection and learning for me. A moment before this I was told I wasn't allowed to drink with uncle John because he was black and this was on the back of some more serious racism we witnessed on the street outside. What a society we live in hey? Always act in love. especially to those who don't show it to you, they need it the most.
05.01.2022 Throw back to guatemala @fungiacademy 2 years ago! What a fun adventure that was...delving deep into one of ny favourite topics surrounded by a community of fellow fun guys ( had to say it). Follow what you love, do what brings you true joy and youll never be bored. #travel #fungiacademy #fortheloveoffungi

03.01.2022 "I'm going to look for a light that will illuminate all of these moments, Leaving behind everything I have to and continue growing. I am everything I have to be, I go where I go without having to lose"... "Me voy a busca' una luz pa' iluminar Todos estos momentos Dejando todo lo que tenga que dejar Y seguir creciendo Soy lo que soy, lo que tengo que ser Voy a donde voy sin tener que perder" 2021 the year of self love and personal growth based on this idea. Love and strength to all in the coming Roman year.
02.01.2022 This is a common problem unfortunately...excess nutrients can kill waterways...whats the solution? One thing we can do is buy and eat organic orrrrr grow your ownn! Orrr go to a farmers markets! The bigger an industry gets, the more it has to rely on unsustainable systems...

01.01.2022 When something goes down, it must come up.....Im excited to announce that Ive been offered a job teaching permaculture in the northern rivers! Im both nervous and excited...a whole new wave of learning has begun as i will be getting mentored by people that I have looked up to since the beginning of my permaculture journey and so many other gardeners and teachers that have been doing this stuff for a long time. Feeling pretty stoked to have been offered this challenege. As Ive officially moved back to the rainbow region Im looking for a sweet little spot to park my home on wheels around Mullum.....Im only in need of a bathroom, good vibes and a place to grow some vege. Friends of the area...spread the word?
01.01.2022 I got to spend the night in one of the most magical houses Ive ever been in with some very rad humans. This dome sat above a man made cave system that fills with hot water to make spa/saunas that made you feel like you were back in the womb next to a pool nestled high in the mountain with boardwalks and birds everywhere. Feeling so inspired by the love and creativity in this space and bursting with ideas for when i build my own home. #goodoldnimbin #incrediblehomes #incrediblehospitality #creativeliving #community #sharing #laughterismedicine
