We have been implementing some big changes around here. So tired are we of the dominant culture, we have decided to build a giant, beautiful stone wall to separate us from the outside world. Yup, we’ve decided to put the cult into permaculture once and for all.
We have hired a gang of young thugs to help protect our perma-paradise.
We have bribed a team of experts from the land of milk(wood) and honey to come and help grow food that will sustain us and nurture our soils.
And to ensure diversity we have friends from afar growing food from our seed stock. Here is Cyrano with a prolific Syrian cucumber. Look closely and you will see that apparently it only needs itself to continue growing!
We have spent thousands of hours hosting focus groups so we could come up with the perfect design for our new range of summer hats. We call it perma-couture.
Here is a photo taken with a spy camera of our top secret lab as we grow more prototypes of even weirder and more human-like hats that will eventually be grafted onto the wearers’ foreheads, for this ever-warming climate.
We have invested thousands of dollars constructing technically complex and elaborate towers to help us protect our boundaries.
We have taken advantage of the most advanced technology known to humanity to develop a fierce beast that will gobble all intruders, and their foliage.
To help spread word of our cult’s principles and ethics, we have collected a team of co-conspirators to work on David’s forthcoming book.
We have joined forces with undercover agent Mgee and his formidable task-force as they help spread our message through the means of subterfugal music, to help convert the young and the illiterate.
They are launching their exciting new album Grow Do It this coming Friday at 7pm at the Daylesford Town Hall, if you’d like to come along. You can buy tickets here (or on the door), and the new album here.
If you like what we are about and would like to be part of our collective, please come along on Friday night and join us. If you pass the dance initiation, you’re in. We’re fussy, but not that fussy.
Marine permaculture: Design principles for productive seascapes
Permaculture is an approach that has proven itself on land as a way to blend farming with healthy ecosystems. What if it could do the same on water?

Love this! The criticism is fiercely ridiculous. Good thing the mission to help the earth and people and all the global in the ground permaculture projects – are stronger than the naysayers. #GoPermaculture
