004_inspiration

This is a different kind of inspiration to my usual.
I was put onto this link by one of my contacts from the edible garden project. 
This is Milkwood, an amazing project. As they describe it:
   "Milkwood is one small family's shot at being the change we want to see in this world.
    From the bare earth up, we're creating an abundant permaculture farm in the central west
    of NSW, Australia."
One project of their's really caught my eye. They show us how to make a Wicking Garden Bed.



The photos show the base excavation, which is covered with a tarp, filled with gravel, and a water distribution pipe. There is the beginnings of an in-bed worm farm, and the final product. Brilliant.
There are some other cool things on the website, such as worm towers, and links to local permaculture classes and courses.
