pitchfork projects: April 2009

A blog about projects to do with permaculture, education and growing food. Saturday, April 25, 2009. Econospace Framing - step by step. Some very good workshops happened near Castlemaine this summer and I was lucky enough to catch one of them. For a long while I'd been wishing for the skills to build my own shed, houseboat or composting toilet, but the mystery of how to make walls and roofs stay up on their own eluded me.

I was riding my bike down the Yarra to Southern Cross station recently, when this strange structure caught my eye. Closer inspection confirmed my suspicion that this was a pigeon loft. The description on the sign (abridged) states:. If pigeons roost in here, there must be a lot of droppings. What does the City of Melbourne do with them? Below a railway bridge. Links to this post.

I've grown Kale before, but never have I experienced such culinary delight from a leafy green vegetable. Fry it lightly with some lemon juice.mmmm. I'm now determined to plant a 'new for me' vegetable every month. This weekend was a winter's garden delight. I couldn't get enough of coriander walnut pesto, and carrots were ripe for the picking too. Links to this post. This is th...

When I was a bike courier, people would kit their bikes out with over the top suspension and mountain biking gadgets, which on city streets just seemed a bit much. This is kids doing what kids do best. Making weird but cool stuff. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. I LIKE TO VISIT.

I particularly enjoyed the piece on Akshaya Patra's "gravity force" kitchen in Vasanthapura. Hare Krishna restaurants. Have done a fine job of feeding hundreds of people each day in this city, and are now shipping school lunches to feed 820,000 pupils a day in India.
