Permaculture...starts with carpet


It's looks weird now but in a few months, we're hoping to have piles of mushroom compost thrown down on those old carpets and veggies galore growing out of them. This is all on top of the area that Curt cleared from all that elephant grass. Great way to recycle those old carpets we ripped out of the house. Since the soil is pretty poor (very dry hard clay type soil) we thought we'd better build up the 'permaculture way' instead of digging down, which is near on impossible. Our rocket salad which we planted when we arrived has come along pretty well doncha think?
