Garden Notes for Relocalisation: From the home garden out – a survey as mindmap
http://gardennotesforrelocalisation.blogspot.com/2011/04/from-home-garden-out-survey-as-mindmap.html
Friday, April 29, 2011. From the home garden out – a survey as mindmap. Today I surveyed all the plants that feed and fuel us in our garden; that allow us to continue our four year boycott of supermarkets. I then made a drawing showing our household economy-ecology, extending out into the community and the commons. This map demonstrates why the war on weeds is so antithetical to everything in the world, except of course to corporate profits. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Book Camel: November 2009
http://bookcamel.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
About books and travel. Saturday, November 21, 2009. I don't have a lot of money to spend on new books these days. But I do like to keep up with new writing and the ideas going round. My solution is to spend money on a few subscriptions to magazines and journals that keep me in the loop. Add to this a glimpse at The Age. Book pages on Saturdays (minimal info there, alas), a free. Monthly magazine and blessed Radio National (especially the splendid Book Show. I've subscribed to Meanjin. Which has been giv...

Book Camel: January 2010
http://bookcamel.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
About books and travel. Wednesday, January 27, 2010. In with the new. Before January passes completely from view I want to move the Book Camel blog out onto the track once more. When the English author, Graham Greene, was having his long-standing love affair with Catherine Walston in the 1940s and 50s, he gave her a notebook diary each year in which he handwrote a quotation for every day of the year. Greene was obviously a very romantic fellow. Throwing up the echo of thunder:. Then his vigorous rhymes:.

Garden Notes for Relocalisation: Moon planting experiment
http://gardennotesforrelocalisation.blogspot.com/2011/07/moon-planting-experiment.html
Saturday, July 16, 2011. I know very little about planting by the moon, except for avoiding any planting after a full moon for about a week. So I decided to conduct an experiment. I planted about 50 onions on the eve of the full moon (yesterday). You can't see them in the below peg because they're still so small. I also planted leek, coriander, parsley, lettuce, cabbage and kohlrabi in this patch. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). And son Zephyr. Together, as Artist as Family. View my complete profile.

Garden Notes for Relocalisation: A twist on home-brew
http://gardennotesforrelocalisation.blogspot.com/2011/03/twist-on-home-brew.html
Tuesday, March 8, 2011. A twist on home-brew. What do you use to clean out your bottles etc? I used to work in the liquor industry, but dont really want to go down the NaOH route - not too good for the septic, never mind highly caustic and all that. July 14, 2011 at 2:00 PM.
