We are a family of five living in a suburb about an hour by car from Melbourne.
we have an acre block, which is steeply sloping, sandy soiled and has good old Aussie bush covering it’s back third.
about five years ago we began trying to make more use of our land by growing our own fruit and veg and keeping a few chooks. It was the start of an obsession that has seen us build terraces, keep rabbits, add solar panels, install water tanks, hatch our own chickens, embrace permaculture principals and bemoan our lack of a goat.
Join us on our journey towards a more self sufficient life, pick up a few tips and hints along the way, but be careful, growing your own is addictive!
