Jim has a true multi-generational household, and is very keen on growing his own veggies and fruit in a child-friendly garden. He’s also keen to design garden well to produce lots of fruit and veggies with less effort!

His previous gardening attempts over many years has been a bit hit-and-miss, having tried his hand at lasagna beds, wicking experiments, companion planting, and very adhoc water/shade systems. Finally, with the help of the Permablitz Designer Guild members Meg, Felicity and Kaitlyn, now is the time to get it all sorted!

Jim’s back yard… Let’s blitz it!

On the day, we’ll be:

• Espaliering some trees
• Setting up an Asian water/pond area
• Converting a bath into a wicking bed
• Clearing out weeds
• Laying down mulch
• Planting out the good stuff!

We also have some pretty cool (and practical!) workshops:

• How to break down clay soil
• Turning a bath into a wicking bed
• Preparing your beds for Spring planting
• Best use of your body for gardening
• Growing plants typically used in Vietnamese/Australian cooking
• Recycling old materials in the garden (for raised beds, glasshouse and more)
• How to check your pH and soil moisture measurements

Things that would be handy to bring:

• Gloves
• Shovel/spade/mattock/fork
• Wheelbarrow

Please note that due to the sharp and pointy nature of many of the tools used, this will not be a kid-friendly blitz. Sorry!

If this blitz sounds like a fun day to you, then fill in the form here!
