Winter prep
Getting beds ready for winter
Tucking freshly prepared soil under a thick layer of straw, so it stays soft and alive through the cold months.
Organic grower · Sustainability designer
Let's turn your land into an abundant food forest.
Organic grower, permaculture designer, and a data analyst at heart. Years of exploring nature, its soil, water and seasons, much of it side by side with other growers. The vision: food forests everywhere.
Nature first
We let natural forces do the heavy lifting: sun, water, slope and living soil. Then we shape the land gently, so it works well for everyone, including us.
Observe
Watch the seasons, the water and the soil, and write a little down each day. Over the years, patterns appear, and the land starts telling us what it needs.
Everything has more than one function
A hedge is shelter, habitat and harvest at once. Straw becomes mulch, and a good season's surplus becomes a meal for someone else.

A fresh bed laid out between the brassicas and climbing beans, with drip line ready for the next planting.
Tools
Tools we use in our own growing, shared for anyone who finds them useful.
Rainfall
Recent totals and longer records for your area, so watering and sowing can follow the real season rather than a guess.
Open rainfall tool →River levels
Current and recent river levels, handy for planning irrigation and keeping an eye on low-lying ground.
Open river levels →Market timing
Wholesale price patterns through the year, to help time sowing so harvests arrive when your market wants them most.
Open price analysis →Permaplans
Plan a forest garden on a map of your own land, find plants that suit your site, and watch the garden grow years into the future before planting a single tree.
