Backyard Permaculture: Starting at home…
A small tour of a 15 year old subtropical food forest in the suburban backyard in the Clarence Valley Northern New South Wales.
Timelapse of backyard work shot over 6 weeks of Sundays.
The first part shows yard preparation for a green manure crop – added gypsum clay breaker and some sand, used a rotary hoe to break up heavy, compacted clay soil then sowed green manure crop and mulched with sugar cane mulch before watering in.
The second part shows our pond construction, mark II. The first pond I was a little too eager and didn’t plan it very well. So, the pond “reboot” involved draining the old pond, getting the levels right, replacing the liner with something larger and thicker, creating a small waterfall and decorating with rocks and some initial plants.
