sad little garden sad little garden february 12 2011 a new gardening book filed under uncategorized nzecoworrier 4 38 pm some people might say i already have too many books that s not true i don t think it s possible to have too many especially gardening books i pick them up everywhere second hand book shops library book sales the recycling centre at the dump which is where the gem above came from and occasionally i even get brand new ones i m doubly lucky in that firstly i had a birthday recently and secondly my brother is happy to buy me books without saying things like but don t you already have thirty books about growing vegetables i told you lucky so after sharon astyk s review i asked for carol deppe s the resilient gardener food production and self reliance in uncertain times and i m so glad i did i haven t read much but it s great i think the best way to describe it would be dense i was also lucky enough to get a copy of john seymour s classic the new self sufficient gardener which i love for it s retro illustrations and clear diagrams which show you how to actually do things like stringing onions and building a potato clamp i m still looking for a book that will give me a ready drawn design for a productive food garden on an odd shaped steeply shaped section though it would be so much easier if i had a flat 1 4 acre it was published in 1953 and should i ever want to know how much ddt to spray on my cauliflowers or how to sterilise my greenhouse soil with chloropicrin i m set if i ignore the chemical bits though it s still a really useful guide actually i think the best book i ve read that tells me how to design this myself is gaia s garden a guide to home scale permaculture by toby hemenway if only i d put three books on my birthday wish list leave a comment january 26 2011 self sufficiency vs self reliance filed under permaculture nzecoworrier 7 30 pm i ve just discovered that apparently there s a difference and i ve just discovered that i m one who confused the two one is being completely isolated trying to provide everything you need the other is taking responsibility for providing the things you need and permaculture self reliance is of course doing that in a sustainable manner this is a great lens it s timely in that i m planning a serious redesign of not only the garden but of our whole lives haven t mentioned that to the rest of the family yet yes you will eat my vegetables leave a comment january 24 2011 this is not my garden filed under uncategorized nzecoworrier 2 21 pm i just wish it was this is the sustainable backyard at the hamilton gardens a stunning example of how you can grow an astounding amount of organic food on an average sized section the baby is mine though comments 1 you know it s time filed under oil crash uncategorized nzecoworrier 11 35 am to take peak oil seriously when you can buy a book telling you how to make money from it comments 2 november 30 2009 wishful thinking filed under uncategorized nzecoworrier 2 42 pm if i kept my kids at home instead of sending them to school i d never have to get out of my gardening clothes and of course every day would be like today a perfect balance of chores actually done books read spontaneous maths a lot of art and craft a thoughtful musical appreciation hour and silly movie watching sigh comments 5 november 4 2009 before i forget filed under sustainable living in nz nzecoworrier 10 31 am there s a new gardening segment on one of my favourite radio shows simon morton has been keeping bees and chickens in his backyard for a while but now he s put in a new vege patch photos and podcasts from the earlier shows are here comments 2 october 22 2009 grumpy filed under uncategorized nzecoworrier 9 07 pm i m so grumpy today i m thinking i might make a t shirt that says consensus among scientists is not a conspiracy or maybe when my son is forty there will be no more oil left with a picture of my young cute son underneath sigh i m going out to plant more carrots and chase the damn cats off the garden honestly the compost heap rat is more help in the garden than the damn cats at least it eats snails comments 3 october

pests nzecoworrier 8 52 pm the good news is that bamboo skewers do keep the cats and the birds out of my garden the bad news is that it is now very hard to weed without poking myself a lot leave a comment september 22 2009 week five filed under independence days challenge nzecoworrier 5 18 pm week 5 i am the stupidest most disorganised gardener i have no excuse either i ve read enough books that i should have learned something by now and yet planting decisions are still being made on impulse when standing in front of the seedlings at the supermarket and because the planting is so haphazard and unplanned we re having trouble finding space to dig the bokashi bucket in each fortnight what should be happening is a carefully planned sequence of digging in resting then planting and it should be happening so the whole garden is progressively fertilised as in the permaculture home garden system but with bokashi instead of chickens or a compost pile but it s not i also have to get tough on the cornflowers which have self seeded throughout the garden i love them and have a hard time digging them up when i really should plant something perpetual spinach onions flat leaf parsley coriander lettuces harvest something still just rainbow chard and parsley preserve something nothing this week reduce waste i m trying to be more organised with my leftovers so i don t just end up chucking them in the bokashi after a week i did make a pumpkin loaf with some leftover pumpkin but it flopped and now i m faced with throwing out most of it so really i made more waste instead of reducing it i might try some for dessert later heated with some maple syrup and see if i can force it down that way i think next time i ll take the time to find a proper recipe rather than just adapting a banana bread recipe preparation and storage the house cleaning project is stalling it seems that i m failing to organise the chaos i m just moving it around build community food systems nope eat the food my triumph of the week was making a pumpkin and lentil soup out of the lone crown pumpkin i harvested back in may the best bit is that it was a free pumpkin self seeded from my compost bin my husband and i also tried a bottle of my second batch of cider it s very different from the first which i cannot explain since i used the same recipe maybe it was that the apples were in the freezer for a couple of months or that i doubled the recipe or that it was fermenting in winter instead of summer i m not sure but it s turned out clearer and sweeter than the first brew just as fizzy but not very alcoholic which is probably a good thing comments 3 older posts an attempt to design and set up our own suburban permaculture paradise with no money little flat space and a family
