Welcome to a permablitz newsletter with courses,
news on water restrictions, heroic tales and photos from past blitzes, more investment advice for troubled times and some
profound prognostications on the nature of art and the art of
gardening, starting with a relevant quote from an historically significant personality. Mmm... Intellectually enriching.

Welcome to another permablitz newsletter with a thick cream dollop of
upcoming courses and blitzes, plus some wow-you-out-of-your-seat
post-blitz photos, getting intimate with arthropods, a horticultural
challenge to the US president-elect, and much more, but first some good
news for the world's 'ugly' vegetables...

Take off your shoes and slip your toes on into the info-chop-suey of this
latest permablitz newsletter. We've got gardening advice
from outer space, we've got mercenary microbes, we've got organics --
macho style, we celebrate 2008, International Year of the Potato, we've
got a major report on Victoria's food security, we bring you
opportunities to be an urban share farmer, and wise words from the
Archdruid of the United States of America. It's nothing if not
eclectic. Plus some exciting new format upcoming courses, and
lots of upcoming blitzes. But first, words from the one who dances with
oak trees...

Ok, time to get ecological. In
ecological terms the only real 'primary
producers' are photosynthetic organisms -- plants and algae.
Ultimately our whole economy is powered by photosynthesis and the
ancient
sunlight captured by it, turned by eons of geological heat and pressure
into the rich store of fossil
fuels. So, while in these days of financial meltown we may have,
in economic terms, reached 'the end of growth',
now could not be a better time to celebrate the wonder and fantastical
nature of plants -- who will continue to grow regardless!

Welcome message |
Welcome to Permablitz Melbourne - this site has been set up to help people get together and have fun learning about, designing and implementing suburban permaculture systems. Our focus is edible gardens, and our ultimate aim is to make the suburbs edible enough such that should food become unaffordable, we don’t even notice. See above for the next permablitz and feel free to submit your own onto the calendar. Check out photos of blitzes 1-6 here, and photos of more recent blitzes in our gallery. |

Random Quote
"What you guys have created is more powerful than the gardens you have made, it is the concept of the permablitz... the idea that landscapes of lawn, shrubs, concrete and dog mess are not the pinnacle of human achievement, but are an odd manifestation of an age with more oil than sense, and the idea that we can change them, and we can change them fast. Out with the lawn and in with the salad!" Rob Hopkins, originator of the Transition Network
