The Plummery is a suburban home where a tiny urban permaculture garden measuring only 100sq/m (1076 sq feet) produces over 400kg/900 pounds of food year-round.
Kat Lavers describes her approach to gardening, including vertical and biointensive growing, and how important it is - and possible! - for city dwellers to be food resilient in the face of natural, financial and social crises. We were very inspired by how little day-to-day effort goes into creating such an abundance of food!

start now, spring into action. if you live in an urban environment start with windowsills, common green areas (planting a tree for example), any place really that has sunlight. first years are about learning, having fun, most importantly sowing your seeds (literally and metaphorically). one can easilly grow a tomato plant in an apartment as long as theres sunshine and a big bucket of soil :) my point being the sooner you start (no matter the limitations) the sooner your dream will come true.

Sorghum is a good grain to grow if there is a shortage of water. It is high yielding and has excellent resistance to disease. If the whole grains are still forming the stalk is rich with sugars and can be processed as sugar cane. The grain is slightly sweet and has a mild earthy flavor. If boiled in excess water a porridge is created. (The grain is also good for animal feed when fully ripe.) Alternatively, the grain can be milled into a flour, hot water added a tbsp at a time, kneaded to create smooth dough and cooked to make a flat bread.

I disagree and believe humans have no domain over animals. Just because we can kill and eat them doesn't mean we should or that it's moral to be "nice" to them until we kill them. Nutritionally, there's no basis whatsoever for eating animal products for health. That's all been demonstrated for years. Unfortunately, all major religions believe in the "human domain" concept, and probably the people who are "touched" by the treatment of these quail have been conditioned this way and are able to rationalize it. Fortunately, the number of people evolving to a plant-based diet is growing in recent times. However, it's probably not going to offset the rest of the population's imminent destruction of our environment and eventual consequences for the human race. Our species is probably destined to not be the dominant one on this planet in a few more millenia. Some humans will still be around, but surviving on more of a subsistence level and far fewer in number. Do you realize that it would take 5 planet Earths to supply the resources needed if everyone now living consumed as much as the average American? Don't take my word for it, research it for yourself and let that sink in.

FlowerGrower Smith We’re in Melbourne too! Yeah the weather hasn’t been too good and we have some deciduous trees sending up new shoots now. Our backyard is pretty small at 3 x 8m. Mostly perennials and fruit trees with at least 100 kg worth of produce this year. Garden was only planted 1.5 years ago so we’re hopeful it should produce more as it grows. It’s surprising what can be grown with the right microclimate. Spend about an hour in the garden during late winter/early spring checking for pests and that’s it. Not a full permaculture design as we wanted to keep the curb appeal with lots of usable entertaining space

FlowerGrower Smith we are in Melbourne, and we are still eating pumpkin harvested in march. I highly recommend columnar peach Crimson ROcket from Bunnings. Nice skinny trees that are highly productive and the fruit cans well. Our columnar apples are highly productive, and you can dot them all through the garden

A family in Southern California had pioneered this many many years ago...they have a video on here too. they have bee hives, goats, make some alternative fuel for their car and sell and use their 1/2 acre to grow food. They also have chickens too.

You can grow a lot of food in containers. :) Just yesterday I rewatched a great KZbin video on it. Look into "container gardening" or "growing vegetables in containers". You'll be pleasantly surprised! I myself grow strawberries along with garlic in containers with great success; thyme, lettuce, you name it!

I've always grown what I call a "messy garden" yours is the most gorgeous messy garden I've seen for ages. I grow bush tucker, natives, herbs and tomatoes, strawberries, flowers so much in my 9m x 2.4m unit garden that I'm glad the local Narrawong Community Collective is available for me to swap their veggies and seeds too. Incidentially the unit garden had never had a garden before me in 25 years so I'm really pleased my native garden at the front of my unit attracks honeyeaters every morning! Just got to keep encouraging people to grow their own.

This is so inspirational. I've just started a little vegetable garden in my back garden. It's the first time in my life I've had a garden to myself as I've been renting flats until. I'm still renting so I can't be going crazy redesigning the garden but I've got some pots out there. My radishes are almost ready, can't wait for everything else to pop up!
