Hi my name is Sid, i'm the founder member and drummer of Day-Glo punk band Rubella Ballet. I decided this spring to pull up all the paving stones in my garden and make some permanant raised beds out of them so we can try growing some normal vegetables like tomatoes, sweet corn, carrots, cauliflower and onions but we wanted to try growing some rare Incan vegetables as they pythochemicals in them that have anti cancer properties, plants like Amaranthus that are packed with vitamins A, B12 B6 when eaten raw like purple sprouting broccoli, along with red white Quinoa which is a great source of protein and exploding hedgehogs which are great in salads, as you can see at the end of the film it all grew more than I thought which was awesome and we are still reaping the benefits of some of it like the mass of tomatoes which have really tasted like tomatoes and the three months of mixed leaf salad, Roquette and baby red and yellow chard that costs so much at the supermarkets as well as all the herbs that I use all the thyme. We've had loads of yellow courgettes up and till now and loads of basil, wild, Thai and giant basil which gardener claim is really difficult, so smashed that myth. Some of the stuff I planted needed more room to grow and others plants needed more nurturing or something but all had no pesticides of any description.
As this was an experiment and I just wanted to make a start by using the concrete slabs as raised beds but now I want help to prepare and plan for next year so I am asking for some expert advise from Graham Burnett who runs permaculture workshops at Dial House to mention a few, check him out at

and my good friends William & Monica Faith (Anima Mundi) who originally inspired me when I stayed at their house in California and saw the transformation they had made to his garden. We are all presently planning to run the first of many workshops starting on the 5th and 6th of December with plans to transform the Rubella Ballet's garden into a fully functional inner city permaculture garden and provide information on energy flows, permenant crops, the functions of each component, stacking, the order of permanance, the ethics, the principles etc etc. for people who want to transform their gardens into their own vegetarian super gardens. More info on inner city permaculture workshops will be posted here soon.

Crass: There is No Authority but Yourself
A filmic portrait of this last Punk stonghold.
The anarchist punk band Crass was very different from their contemporaries. The Sex Pistols and The Clash sold their souls to big record labels, whereas Crass stayed true to their anti-corporate ideals. Crass still exists today as a commune just outside of London named 'Dial House'- a safe haven for those individuals of principle who still live by the old punk slogan 'Do it yourself'.
Director
Alexander Oey (1960) has directed a large number of documentaries, mainly for the Dutch networks VPRO and NPS, such as 'My Life as a Terrorist: The Story of Hans - Joachim Klein' (2005), 'Euro-Islam according to Tariq Ramadan' (2005),'Bijlmer the Rough Guid' (2003) and 'Jeff Wall' (1999).
Camera: Alexander Oey
Editor: Chris van Oers
Sound: Benny Jansen
