16 April - First Post

I have started a garden at my new home. After long time travelling, I finally have a base that's stable enough to invest some time in growing things. I'm taking the permaculture aproach, although I have no fromal training, I am trying to learn as much as I can through practice, trying out anything I can with the resources to my disposal.

I have just raised a lot of seedlings. Silverbeet, spinach, lettuce, mustard greens, rocket, chives, shallots, broccoli, coriander, origanum, parsley, peas... and they'll all go into a mulched patch I've prepared.

I love soil most of all. I like making soil as healthy as possible, and I'm fascinated by the intricate processes going on in living soil.

This blog will be a documentation of everything I learn, everything that inspires me, and my observation of my own growing garden world.
