25.01.2022 Hello everyone. We are planning a click and collect type nursery sale for a whole week starting on the 28 September. How it will work is you pick what you wan...t, ring us to order and pay. You drive through the college and we deliver the plants to you. No contact! More details very soon. Please help support by spreading the word. All plants grown by students and all proceeds go back to buying teaching material. Cheers See more

25.01.2022 PERMACULTURE SYDNEY SOUTH (Zoom) MEETING Tuesday, 8 September 2020 ~ 7pm We are looking forward to presenting our next topic:... Cooking With Stored Heat with Nevin Sweeney Under the Choko Tree "In most forms of cooking, heat is applied to the cooking pot until it comes up to temperature, then heat continues to be applied during the length of the cooking process, as heat goes in the bottom and then out the top. This is wasteful in terms of energy and so also wasteful in terms of carbon dioxide production and of course money! There are, however, alternatives and it is possible to heat your food up to cooking temperature, and then using one of a number of techniques we will be talking about, turn the heat off and cook with the heat already in the food." Our link will be posted closer to the date - we look forward to seeing you there!

24.01.2022 Our AGM in next Sunday 23rd of August at 1pm. All members or those wishing to become members are welcome. See you then at the garden

23.01.2022 **We have raised $60 and just donated to Ethos. Thank YOU** Thank you to everyone this morning at Crop Swap Hurstville Community Garden Mortdale, Oatley and Surrounds Home Grown Produce Swap and to our PSS members who donate to the permaculture charity Ethos Foundation at our meetings. This is Rolande, an apprentice Permaculture Teacher in East Africa, who is working with refugee foster carers, teaching permaculture so they can support their families and the young orphaned... children in their care. This incredible young woman is such an inspiration. Thank you for your donations #permaculturesydneysouth #hurstvillecommunitygarden #mortdaleoatleyandsurroundshomegrown produce See more

22.01.2022 A tribute in song to Permaculture and to Our Permaculture Life: Morag Gamble by the Kakuma PermaYouth in Kenya. These talented youth are currently living in refugee settlements, and the skills they are learning thru Morags PDC, are changing lives and empowering people. You may remember Morag speaking to us at our recent zoom meeting about the Ethos Foundation, where 100% of donations received goes to fund permaculture education and projects. A wonderful example of Permaculture rippling out... I dare you to try and resist tapping your toes to Kakuma PermaYouths catchy rhythm

21.01.2022 The time has come,' the gardener said, To talk of many things: Of peach bamboo and tamarind Of cabbages and stings And why the composts boili...ng hot And if all bugs have wings.' See what all is happening at John & Pauline's Haven on the Hill at Highvale on Sunday at 9.30am, including their "stairway of produce". You're bound to love it!

21.01.2022 A wonderful film from @nattopa about the way permaculture is being used to restore significantly degraded landscapes and the ripple effect this creates. I highly recommend you watch and share this film made by Natalie Topa.

19.01.2022 Nasturtiums: Nasturtiums are a great addition to the flowering plants and herbs in a garden, they self seed easily and remain dormant waiting for the start of t...he cooler weather to burst into life. The young seedlings are easy to remove and send to the compost bin, a salad or pot of soup. It is easy to get too many of them to keep them all. The nasturtium, Tropaeolum majus, is native to Peru but is found in many countries around the world. It is also known as Indian cress. The nasturtium got its common name because it produces an oil similar to watercress (Nasturtium officinale). This flower adds many shades of red, orange, yellow to your garden from autumn through to late spring. These annuals come in the long wandering varieties for around the garden and climbing over bushes/frames and in bushier types for pots and smaller places. Nasturtiums grow best in well drained soil and full sun but will grow in most soil types and tolerate some shade. Plant seeds 1-2 cm deep from early autumn where you want them to grow. When they reach maturity and start flowering, picking flowers will encourage more flowering but leave a lot of flowers for the bees to enjoy and to leave some seeds for next year. Some important points about nasturtiums great for cut flowers makes a delicious pesto immature seed pods can be used to make capers flowers and leaves add texture, flavour and colour to salads in ancient times, the leaves were eaten to prevent scurvy and made into a hair tonic attract bees and other beneficial insects to your garden make a colourful live mulch wherever there is space in the garden help keep the soil moist deters weeds from growing said to deter the cabbage moth, white flies and cucumber beetle attracts aphids away from other plants are good companions and insect repellents for broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumber, potatoes, radishes, tomatoes, zucchini very good for growing as a mulch and insect repellent under fruit trees the leaves can be infused in boiling water, cooled, strained and with a little liquid soap added, used as a spray for aphids medicinally, the leaves are said to prevent and treat colds and flu, some other viruses and measles by helping build the immune system the leaves are effective against some micro-organisms that are resistant to common antibiotics. The leaves contain a chemical called tromalyt, which acts as a natural antibiotic in the body nutritionally, nasturtium leaves are high in vitamin C, A and D and have good amounts of iron, sulphur, potassium, calcium and magnesium All parts of nasturtiums are edible: Leaves are a bit peppery, the older the leaf the stronger the flavour. Good for sandwiches, salads, soups, stews, stir fries, mixed through pasta and rice, flavouring for vinegar, juices and teas Flowers can be used for floral arrangements, salads, garnishes and for flavouring butters and oils Seed pods when immature can be pickled like capers or used in salads and mature ones kept to plant next season or roasted and ground up to use as seasoning like pepper. Don't eat large quantities of green seeds as they are high in oxalic acid. This information is just one of the profiles in my new eBook.

11.01.2022 Cobblers Pegs! Farmer's friends! Did you know the Bidens Pilosa plant isn't just an annoying weed that ruins your socks. It's actually edible, highly nutritious... and is a fantastic fodder food for chickens. So much so that we actively spread its seeds into thickets of sticks so our Monkland State School chicken team can feed them for free the sticks act as an armour and prevent the chickens from scratching the soil.

08.01.2022 Annette's farmer friend, Aaron Brocken of Harvest Farms has opened the CSA for Spring 2020 and will be delivering to the Oatley area ... Annette explains below how it works: Delivery direct from my farmer friend, Aaron, of Harvest Farms in Bilpin, Blue Mountains. Organic Veggies Organic Fruit... Organic Eggs Sourdough Cider Community Supported Agriculture fruit & veg boxes DIRECT FROM THE FARMER at Harvest Farms, Blue Mountains. Order now via the link below. (I dont profit from this in any way. Im just super supportive of what Aaron is trying to achieve by doing the right thing by the environment and community.) *Background: My friend, Aaron Brocken, is a young farmer who has set up some of the first social enterprise, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms in Australia. *How it works: you pay for a seasons membership of the farm (from $290). Every fortnight Aaron fills our boxes with whats fresh on his farms, and delivers them to OATLEY, Erskineville, Putney or Parramatta. There are 7 boxes in a season, so it works out to about $40 for each 12-14kg box of organic fruit & veg. Aaron also offers boxes of organic fruit only, that he personally selects from the organic stalls at Flemington Markets too. See website for details. There are about 8 Oatley families already signed up. Members are always welcome to visit the farms at Bilpin and Mt Tomah (COVID-19 permitting) - next open day is Saturday 26th September 2020 (bookings essential via website). www.harvestfarms.com.au
