Interesting discussion nights!

I've been to my 3rd Friday night Ecovillage meeting. The last two evenings we've watched short documentaries on permaculture gardening presented by Bill Mollison (the man who coined the term permaculture) and one on making compost - using bins, open heaps and worm farms.

They have started to make tracks on the community garden with clearing weeds, mulching and building fences. The garden area is 20m x 20m. I haven't yet viewed the property as it is a bit much to be tripping back and forwards up there several times a week so will limit myself to just the information evening for now.

Next week we have a presentation by Robert of Oilcrash.com who is a part of our group. Robert is running for mayor with his main agenda being to get the word out there on peak oil.
