in a (video) nutshell So just what is Milkwood? Who are we? What do we do? This summary of Milkwood was made last season during our forest garden design intensive with Dave Jacke. A big and massive huzzah to Jimmy and Dillon, the fabulous folk from Meanwhile Outside who showed up and happily embedded themselves in the seasonal flow of Milkwood Farm to make this video. We would like to take a second at this point to thank all the wild and wonderful teachers and students that we’ve met over the past 5 years – at Milkwood Farm, in Sydney, and everywhere inbetween. It’s been amazing to be a part of a groundswell of people dedicated to teaching and learning how to regenerate our cities, our landscapes and our everyday skill base, even in the face of a world out of balance. We feel like we live in an amazing time. Many of the realities of our world are so super-screwed right now, for so many people. Thanks to you all for the work that you do. And maybe see you at Milkwood Farm this season?
Back to Eden Gardening Back to Eden gardening (B2E) is all about natural farming methods using biblical principles. This method of growing food while not new, had a rebirth with the release of the film of the same name. The principle is to allow God to open your eyes to nature, his creation and for you to get closer to God. One Bible verse that supports this way of farming is, “Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yield fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth;” and it was so.” - Genesis 1:11. Apart from having a plot, the next most important item for this method of gardening is wood chips. Getting wood chips depends on where you live. Select an area to use as the garden. Farm, Home, Yard & Garden Tools and Supplies Gardening products, outdoor recreation, tools, farm products and much more! Put approximately 6 inches of wood chips or mulch on top of the newspapers without tilling or turning the soil. Print This Page
