Taste of Self Sufficiency is back

Firstly, I shall be giving a talk in Ross on Wye at the Community Garden in Old Gloucester Road on the evening of 23rd September 2021. The talk is about Permaculture and Biodynamics.

Permaculture is about designing and practicing sustainable systems for food production (and pretty much any aspect of life too) based on the way nature works. This means complex systems followed simply by observation of nature and how it works and mimicking it. It has lead us to realise how little effort we need to put in to maximise the yield and how much we learn about different ways of doing things whilst having lots of fun.

Biodynamics is also about using natural methods of production based mainly around the rhythms of the sun, moon, planet and stars. If the sun and moon draw tides around the world surely they have an effect on fruits and vegetables which are mostly water. It’s proved to be a game changer for us and I will be sharing our experience on the night.

Secondly, I intend to restart my blog page and cover topics like Resilience, Climate Change, Climate Anxiety, Woodlands and their importance, Personal Wellbeing, Money and Wealth to name but a few. The emphasis will be on the positive things we can do to change our lives for the better, rather than just focusing on the misery that living in modern society offers us. So each article will have a section about what the issues are and why we are suffering and then a section about the simple positive things we can do to liberate ourselves from the suffering and start to enjoy life again, as well as learn a new way of living.
