A stunning garden! And just watched your chop chop compost video haha- brilliant!

I have a question about your pool. We also have a pool in our yard and I have been wondering how best to put it to use within a permaculture system (aquaponics or natural swimming pool or rainwater collection or fill it in!??)

Is it chlorinated? If not what system are you using to keep it clean?

Many thanks
Jo

The curved mesh greenhouse is exactly what I need to allow light and rain in but keep squirrels and birds out of my garden. How was it made, or can it be purchased?

Thanks!

Hi Shirley Symons,

Yes she was my grandfathers cousin. I was named after her.

I have visited Cov. Gardens in London and swapped info with their archive records. Melba and she were often sharing rolls in the early 20s.

Thanks for your interest.

Was at your talk in Maroochydore library yesterday and discovered your personal permaculture world for the first time. You impressed and delighted me, Rosina; thank you! Although my tiny retirement village yard is the smallest garden I’ve ever had, it does contain mostly edibles, which, now that I’ve seen your methods and enthusiasm, will benefit from the work that you do and the generosity with which you pass it on. It’s never too late, is it? Long may you garden!
