Hi,
Does anyone know what happened to Permaculture Sydney?
They seem to have disappeared off the face of the web and there only living
reference is a dead-end link at the EcoLiving Centre.

I'm interested in permaculture plant selection specifically for the Sydney
region.

Cheers

g'day robo,

probably priced themselves out of business mate, perma-c seems to be
on a slide to oblivion, everywhere i go there is no chat from people
about what they are doing or achieving just endless posts on this
course and that course.

just how i see it, the pc news group is all but dead.

as for plants and permaculture as it is all about habitat, environment
and keeping our system alive you would be needed to source indemic
natives for you area. apart from wahtever food trees you need wahtever
nitrogen fixing plants that will help.

Your not wrong, I imagine the lunatics and the fanatics probably sent a lot
of people packing. Wasn't aware of the focus on natives but I'm well on my
way because the front yard is now all natives (70-80% indemic). All except
for a large Pine tree which the council won't let me remove because its big.
Could have wiped out a species of Orchid and they wouldn't have cared but
they do care about the Pine tree because "its big". :)

Anyway there is lots of info re natives (which is good) but nothing much on
food plants outside the normal nursery variety. Might have to look a bit
harder

Cheers Len

g'day robo,

if you are looking for native food plants specifically you may need to
source a native plant nursery that specialises, most normal nurseries
only stock the regular run of the mill exotic stuff with maybe some
lilly pillies.
