We have both taken the Permaculture design course. We are working with others in our area to help more urban and suburban folks do the same. Your work is inspiring and extremely important. Creating change in first world suburbs has great potential to reduce over-consumption iin the first world. Larry Saltzman Santa Barbara, California U.S.A.

We had a small one here in Wonthaggi, South Gippsland, added on before our Sustainbility meeting a few weeks ago. I have 2 older friends, environmental activists since the 70's, who live in Moorabbin, Melbourne. They are not up to putting in a garden this spring, and are worried about water restrictions. Can we help them ???? I could get them a water barrel or 2.... Great news about the permablitzing going on this spring.

Hi Lori, the permablitz is kind of like a barn raising so should come around to you and be reciprocal if you can get a group of people together. These ones have been happening in Melbourne, Australia not Melbourne, Florida, so can't help you with any networks. Maybe try looking for a local permaculture club in your area, and tell them about the idea. adam @ eatthesuburbs org Hi Robin, yeah if it comes to that, we might be in trouble, so maybe this is just a transition technique. but there are lots of passive water harvesting and conservation techniques for your garden. there’s so much roof rainwater catchment in the burbs that with tanks we could get by without even running water perhaps. but i think running water’s such a priority it will be maintained for a long time into the future.
