Electrified Kona Ute + Cadence e-bike reviews (in full)
February 28, 2011
[declaration: So yes, once again I find myself in the amusing position of reviewing new products on a frugal blog. Ha! Ive been encouraged to review these bikes by Glow Worm Bicycles, whom I do some barter work for. They were very timely and useful loans for me, so I reckon it's more than fair […]
Pure sugarless sweetness – yyyum!
August 31, 2010
[this post is in the suburban permi retrofit context, in short, a local living experiment in st clair, NSW AU for one month as a suburban wwoofing house-sit of my folks place.] We had a lovely little gathering round here on Sunday and the amaayzing food inspired me to whip up a little foodie post. […]
Suburban table story
July 18, 2010
My folks have one of those aluminium + glass table sets: y’know the obligatory one that goes with any pergola or backyard area which have emerged in the last few years.. I never liked the thing – i can’t put anything heavy on the glass top and its usually shrouded in a big tarp over […]
Urban Residential Compost Loos
June 17, 2010
Earlier this year whilst staying at a wonderful urban wwoofing property in Melbourne I helped out with a re-design of a compost loo and helped flesh it out into complete composting system. I had recently re-read the poo-bible: The Humanure Handbook which – more recently – has been made wonderfully and freely available by its […]
Compost Loos finished!
November 12, 2009
We had a couple half days more last week to finish off the loos. Ive now handed over to Jack, Jen and the rest of the crew to make 24 more. If you’d like to get involved they will be built on site at Wiseman’s Ferry from the 16th Nov, with materials harvesting starting now. […]
Micheles Verge Garden
November 6, 2009
This is a photo blog on behalf of my friend Michele Margolis, who wisely chooses to not spend to much time on computers and has resisted the blogosphere. Im still struggling with that balance, but photologs are ending up quite time-efficient for me ! Enjoy. I might ask her partner David Arnold to flesh out […]
Compost Loos for Events
November 5, 2009
Let the photologs continue ! Seems its all im good at – at the moment. Ive been walking a bit of a thin line in between an old ‘occupation’: events and my new one: edible gardening/self sufficiency stuff. I recently helped out with climate camp mainly working on the compost loos, it was a rewarding […]
Garden Island . . . into decent vegie patch
October 27, 2009
Wooh! (big breathy sigh). This was a big job. Heres a photo montage to start, showing a bit of the history of the property and what it was like. Note all the sacrificial gum trees and me playing on top of them.. oh. There is an out of focus shot which gives you a rough […]
Vegie Bench (for container food gardening)
October 20, 2009
“We need a herb garden” My family declared recently. Great ! i thought. So to get into edible gardening it seemed like small containers would be the way to go. I was recently reassured that polysterene is inert so ive been growing things in them quite a bit lately. My inner toxin police would prick […]
Suburban Permi retrofit #01
September 22, 2009
Much to my frustration whilst i was a kid, my folks have always had a strong frugal streak. Years down the track its gone almost full circle, with frugal tips going the other way. In recent years this has been encouraged by my links to the sustainable events world and solar power through my friends […]
