Hannah's in Melbourne to visit an inner-city patch that's small on space but big on plants and style. Garden owners, Judy and Andreas Sederof, have transformed a challenging block into a productive patch that is filled with color year-round. Situated in Brunswick east near the Merri Creek, it's filled to the brim with plants and ideas in every inch of this 66sqm garden. Judy describes it as “pretty eclectic, pretty crazy... I just collect plants. I'll see a plant and I’ll love it.” The site has been designed with the house built on the back boundary to leave a bigger space for a garden out the front. The diversity of the garden highlights different t...

Mike and his partner bought an unrenovated house on a leafy Mt Colah street 10 years ago. Their garden starts on the verge with edibles, and the front yard is a thriving ‘no dig’ food forest. There’s another obvious sign that there’s something interesting going on here - a community swap stall with seeds, plants and books all enclosed in a big, old red phone box.
Mike says he’s met more of my neighbours in the last month, than in seven years!

A Forest Garden With 500 Edible Plants Could Lead to a Sustainable Future | Short Film Showcase
Instead of neat rows of monoculture, forest gardens combine fruit and nut trees, shrubs, herbs, vines and perennial vegetables together in one seemingly wild setting. This type of agroforestry mimics natural ecosystems and uses the space available in a sustainable way. UK-based Martin Crawford is one of the pioneers of forest gardening. Starting out with a flat field in 1994, his land has been transformed into a woodland and serves as an educational resource for others interested in forest gardening. This short film by Thomas Regnault focuses on Crawford's forest garden, which is abundant, diverse, edible, and might be one answer to the future of food systems.

Self-Sufficiency Made Easier Using These 12 Principles!
This year I have decided to dedicate a playlist to all things permaculture. It is my hope that it will act as a valuable free resource and guide for anyone wanting to look at how permaculture can help their gardens flourish - and beyond! Today's video kicks off that playlist by explaining the 12 permaculture principles in the context of a kitchen garden, how they can overlap, and why they should not be seen as rules, rather as a guide.

What is sustainable gardening?
🌱 What does it mean to garden sustainably?
🧐 We asked two experts—Jose Torcal and Mary Jenkins from RAINscapeTO—and here’s what we learned:
🌱 Essentially, to garden sustainably is to mimic nature as much as possible
🌿 That is, to grow what will grow in the conditions available
🌻 For example, in soil that’s clay-heavy, grow plants that appreciate that kind of soil, plant drought-tolerant species in sunny, dry spots, and so on
🙌 Grow plants that will thrive in the conditions in your region (research native plant species & plant those guys!)
🚫 Reduce or eliminate lawn: lawns are costly in many ways...they need a lot of water, do nothing for pollinators and wildlife, and require carbon-intensive maintenance
🌿 Resist replacing soil – work with the soil you have as much as possible
🍂 Amend ...

Self sustainable zero waste productive home in Melbourne demonstrates future | Gardening Australia
Costa is visiting a temporary installation on the banks of the Yarra River, the latest iteration of Joost Baker’s experimental constructions; “Greenhouse”. Subscribe 🔔 http://ab.co/GA-subscribe
While it is perched on the edge of the CBD, it is aimed squarely at homeowners everywhere, “in the future we will all live like this” says Joost.
The 3-storey house is a humble 87m2, about ¼ of the size of an average Aussie dwelling, but it has big ambitions, to demonstrate a productive, sustainable & no-waste future. “Our food system one of the most wasteful, polluting things on the planet – the way we grow our food but also transport and sell it. I wanted to create a house that was shelter for people but could also grow food and create energy – our cities have so much potential”.

Highly productive urban farm / Sustainable garden / Permaculture / Edible beauty / Fruit & Veggies
Welcome to Melbourne Foodforest! Here's a bit about us.
🌲 About three years ago, we made the marvellous (or crazy?!) decision to convert every inch of our backyard into a productive working garden. We intermingle fruit trees, veggies, and companion flowers in many layers to create a space that nourishes our belly and our soul. We've made use of every inch of space including vertical space to create an edible jungle, teeming with life.
🌲 We have filled our garden with over 70 varieties of fruit, countless heirloom veggies, chickens, a productive pond with fish, four worm farms, compost bins, water tanks and a greenhouse. Currently we eat around 50% from our garden and we hope to increase this percentage as our garden evolves
🌲 Our philosophy to gardening is all about edible beauty - pro...

Hannah visits a tiny yard in Melbourne’s inner-city that is bursting with ideas and productive plants. Subscribe 🔔 http://ab.co/GA-subscribe
Hannah's in Melbourne to visit an inner-city patch that's small on space but big on plants and style. Garden owners, Judy and Andreas Sederof, have transformed a challenging block into a productive patch that is filled with color year-round. Situated in Brunswick east near the Merri Creek, it's filled to the brim with plants and ideas in every inch of this 66sqm garden. Judy describes it as “pretty eclectic, pretty crazy... I just collect plants. I'll see a plant and I’ll love it.” The site has been designed with the house built on the back boundary to leave a bigger space for a garden out the front. The diversity of the garden highlights different types of plants, which take advantage of the various soil profiles. Judy says, “we have quite deep, productive soil here which was nurtured, adding compost and mulch, but it really was pretty good to begin with. Whereas this side of the garden is really all on rock, so it had to be built above the ground.” There’s a lot of colour in this garden and Judy says this is due to her background in design and interiors, “I just love color and I'm always changing the color pallets and getting it to work together.”
Judy and Andreas have been designing sustainable houses for 30 years and built their own with the aim of being light on the land. Andreas says, “the four critical elements are glass, mass, insulation and most importantly orientation. We chose this block because the house faces north which is the optimum angle for sustainable building design, often called passive design.” In this home, the ceiling has 2-feet of insulation which Andreas calls “super-insulation” as it’s double the standardised requirements. “Everything in here is double or triple glazed... and to get this house to 9.5 stars, we had to provide way more concrete or brickwork than this house was planned for,” says Andreas. The sustainable principles that underpin the house can also be found in the garden. Timber used in the wicking beds is Cypress macrocarpa, which is known to be a sustainable timber, and “things like not having any hard surfaces so that the land absorbs the moisture, and it doesn't heat up the building,” says Judy. Pipes direct grey water from the shower to the garden, as well as “two squat rainwater tanks underneath the deck here that are connected to a pump; they collect rainwater from the roof. We use that a lot in summer,” says Judy.
With no bare ground in the planting style, Judy says, “one of the things is to plant heavily so it keeps weeds down. They also provide quite a lot more moisture to the site, so I mulch, but I don't have to weed very often.” Much of the garden is edible, including flowers like nasturtium, marigold and viola. Judy says, “In summer I can grow some of the bigger vegies like eggplants and tomatoes. Over winter, there's more low growing brassicas and herbs.” Judy utilises tent structures and shed walls to grow vegies vertically, as well as wicking beds that were built by Andreas. “They're really high functioning wicking beds,” says Judy, “They store a lot of the moisture, and it wicks up in the soil. I just have to put a light sprinkling of water on top when I'm growing seeds but mostly the vegetables root down quite well.” Judy takes her love of designing interiors to the outdoors and uses a lot of recycled materials, including baskets from old vineyards repurposed as planters, and an eclectic mix of mirrors, sculptures and ornaments found in hard rubbish collections. “I do collect things... I do it innately, I don't think about it that much,” says Judy and in a cool temperate garden when many plants lose their leaves, having these elements really hold the garden together. Even though it's a small space, there's more than enough happening year-round to keep Judy actively planting, improving and making the most of her little productive inner-city sanctuary. “It's a connection with the Earth to me,” says Judy, “it really grounds me... it's very soothing.”

Costa visits a sustainable house and garden, designed to make efficient use of every space. Subscribe 🔔 http://ab.co/GA-subscribe
Mike and his partner bought an unrenovated house on a leafy Mt Colah street 10 years ago. Their garden starts on the verge with edibles, and the front yard is a thriving ‘no dig’ food forest. There’s another obvious sign that there’s something interesting going on here - a community swap stall with seeds, plants and books all enclosed in a big, old red phone box.
Mike says he’s met more of my neighbours in the last month, than in seven years!
Mike’s aim is to improve livability while caring for the planet. Mike renovated the original house to increase its energy efficiency, with solar water and solar electricity. He’s built a hardwood pergola down the west side of the house which hosts a grapevine that shades the house in summer. It’s the first of many clever structural innovations he has installed in his garden using mostly recycled materials.
Compost System:
The three-bay compost system is built from recycled roof sheets and brick pallets. Liquid from the back of the bays runs and into a well-positioned bucket. Like all the compost, this liquid is then diluted and used on the garden.
Chook House:
The chook house is palatial and has been built using leftovers from the renovation. It’s both vermin and fox proof, and he used the old front door as the human entrance.
Irrigation:
Rainwater is captured across the site, stored and cleverly distributed. Mike has four tanks positioned around the garden that collectively hold 27,000 litres of water. The garden is irrigated via overhead driplines and tank overflows are redirected to garden beds. Storm water from the driveway is redirected into a set of pipes that are re-directed into the garden.
The entire back lawn was dug up to create swales (a series of contoured ditches) designed to slow down water flow and hold it in the soil.
There’s was a rocky outcrop in the backyard where water naturally collected into a pond. Mike has since bricked in the pond, added a bathtub for an outdoor pool for the kids and then found a bathroom basin which he turned into a bird bath.
Wicking Beds:
Mike has made wicking beds from second hand bulk containers. One is used as a liquid fertiliser brewer and the other four have been chopped in half to make 8 wicking beds. The sides of the wicking beds are protected from the sun with recycled zinc aluminium panels take from a roof. The wicking beds are placed in an ‘exclusion zone’, that has been covered with netting to prevent fruit fly, possums and rats making off with the produce.
For Mike, the journey of the garden is infinitely more important than the destination. He’s learnt a lot on the way and is keen to keep learning. It’s inspiring to see what can be achieved in such a short space of time and what will follow, as Mike’s sustainable gardening journey continues to grow.

Instead of neat rows of monoculture, forest gardens combine fruit and nut trees, shrubs, herbs, vines and perennial vegetables together in one seemingly wild setting. This type of agroforestry mimics natural ecosystems and uses the space available in a sustainable way. UK-based Martin Crawford is one of the pioneers of forest gardening. Starting out with a flat field in 1994, his land has been transformed into a woodland and serves as an educational resource for others interested in forest gardening. This short film by Thomas Regnault focuses on Crawford's forest garden, which is abundant, diverse, edible, and might be one answer to the future of food systems.

This year I have decided to dedicate a playlist to all things permaculture. It is my hope that it will act as a valuable free resource and guide for anyone wanting to look at how permaculture can help their gardens flourish - and beyond! Today's video kicks off that playlist by explaining the 12 permaculture principles in the context of a kitchen garden, how they can overlap, and why they should not be seen as rules, rather as a guide.

🌱 What does it mean to garden sustainably?
🧐 We asked two experts—Jose Torcal and Mary Jenkins from RAINscapeTO—and here’s what we learned:
🌱 Essentially, to garden sustainably is to mimic nature as much as possible
🌿 That is, to grow what will grow in the conditions available
🌻 For example, in soil that’s clay-heavy, grow plants that appreciate that kind of soil, plant drought-tolerant species in sunny, dry spots, and so on
🙌 Grow plants that will thrive in the conditions in your region (research native plant species & plant those guys!)
🚫 Reduce or eliminate lawn: lawns are costly in many ways...they need a lot of water, do nothing for pollinators and wildlife, and require carbon-intensive maintenance
🌿 Resist replacing soil – work with the soil you have as much as possible
🍂 Amend soil as needed with organic material or compost
🚫 Stay away from chemical fertilizers
💦 Learn about water conservation methods: rain gardens and water barrels are a great place to start
🦋 Recognize that your garden is one part of an existing ecosystem with great possibilities to not only provide beauty, but also food for pollinators and habitat for wildlife!
⏯️ Watch to the end to learn about how your garden is one way you can take action to help the climate, and find joy in the process.
Are you planning to implement sustainable practices in your garden this year? Tell us about it in the comments!

While it is perched on the edge of the CBD, it is aimed squarely at homeowners everywhere, “in the future we will all live like this” says Joost.
The 3-storey house is a humble 87m2, about ¼ of the size of an average Aussie dwelling, but it has big ambitions, to demonstrate a productive, sustainable & no-waste future. “Our food system one of the most wasteful, polluting things on the planet – the way we grow our food but also transport and sell it. I wanted to create a house that was shelter for people but could also grow food and create energy – our cities have so much potential”.
Every available space is involved in growing food, and every available nutrient in the house harvested to do it.
Potted gardens fill both balconies, growing everything from pumpkins to chickpeas. Food grade plastic 44-gallon drums are positioned everywhere, as soil-filled pots acting as ballast for the house and as wicking beds.
The house is also running Aquaponics systems, with fish, yabbies and fresh-water mussels contributing nutrients to 2 large grow beds. “more than enough to feed a family all the greens they need”. Joost reckons that they are much easier than people think, particularly when you are raising things like yabbies
The mushroom wall is both an aesthetic and edible addition to the house, positioned in the base of the vertical green house, in the central stairwell. Humidity for the mushies, is harvested from the shower and the hot water system – nothing is wasted.
Of course, general waste is also being converted into fertiliser & fuel. They are feeding veggie scraps to crickets. These crickets are then used in the kitchen to make felafel!
While Joost is passionate about natural ecosystems, in this designed ecosystem people are integral. “Without them, the nutrients needed for the system do not exist. It needs to be managed”. The people in this case are Matt stone & Jo Barret, award winning chefs who grew their own gardening skills running their zero-waste kitchen at Oakridge wines.
They have been on the tools throughout the house construction, and now are now living in the house, eating only what they grow on site. They are very passionate about the project and about the ethos. Matt - “When you cook this way, you just want to do more. As a chef, I want things to be delicious, and the most delicious food is the most ethically produced food”.
But Joost hopes the ideas here will help to fuel others for the future. “I don’t see that everything we are doing here is the only way to do it, I want it to be a catalyst.
“CRICKET BALLS” RECIPE
1 cup dried chickpeas
4 spring onions
1/2 bun parsley
1/2 bun coriander
2 cloves garlic
1 sml piece fresh turmeric
1 carrot
1t cumin
1t coriander seed
1/2 paprika
1T baking powder
1/2 cup crickets
Soak the chickpeas for 24 hours. If you have time you can leave you can drain them off and lay on a tray for a day or two to sprout. It adds extra flavour and nutrients but isn’t necessary.
Roughly chop the veggies and herbs. Toast and grind the spices.
Add herbs, veggies, chickpeas and crickets to a blender. Blend till as smooth as possible. Transfer to a bowl. Mix in the baking powder and season with salt and pepper. If the mix is wet add some chickpea of plain flour till you can roll the mix into balls.
Roll the mix into 20 ish balls. Heat some frying oil in a pot on the stove. Heat till roughly 180 degrees. Fry the cricket balls for a few minutes until golden and crisp. Season with salt and serve with your favourite dipper sauce.

Welcome to Melbourne Foodforest! Here's a bit about us.
🌲 About three years ago, we made the marvellous (or crazy?!) decision to convert every inch of our backyard into a productive working garden. We intermingle fruit trees, veggies, and companion flowers in many layers to create a space that nourishes our belly and our soul. We've made use of every inch of space including vertical space to create an edible jungle, teeming with life.
🌲 We have filled our garden with over 70 varieties of fruit, countless heirloom veggies, chickens, a productive pond with fish, four worm farms, compost bins, water tanks and a greenhouse. Currently we eat around 50% from our garden and we hope to increase this percentage as our garden evolves
🌲 Our philosophy to gardening is all about edible beauty - productive veggies and fruit trees intermingled with companion flowers - the best of both worlds. Our garden teaches us so much about life and resilience, and provides us with an abundance of organic produce year-round.
🌲 We are passionate about gardening sustainably. I'm a big believer that to succeed in the garden you don't need to spend a lot of money or buy copious amounts of plastic packaged materials. You'll see us use lots of recycled and salvaged materials.
🌲 My husband is the chef and shares recipes for delicious, wholesome ways to cook with and preserve your abundant harvests.
🌲 We are here to share all our tips, tricks on how you can successfully grow your own backyard foodforest. It is our mission to help make the world a little greener, one gardener at a time!

I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)
