@jwhite731 Absolutely! I'm not a gardener myself, so I'm learning a lot of practical things about planting. I might even have a permablitz at my own place in the not-too-distant future!
Thanks for your video response. Looks like you guys on the other side of the world are having as much fun as we are! :)
This is now a productive garden, designed with deliberate choices of species and placement, and it's almost totally organic. Raised beds would have required a lot more construction and materials we didn't have.
No, you don't see any mulching in the video, but there is a lot more ground cover now. All it ever needs now is the occasional watering. It's even survived two Adelaide heat waves unscathed.
I'm not sure what of this is "not permaculture", and successful permaculture at that.
Ahhh memories of weeding Franco's garden!

Lots of digging and pulling stuff up,didnt see any no dig or raised beds.Where is the mulch to keep moisture in?
It just looked like regular gardening and not permaculture.
