Do you own a suburban house? Do you want to live surrounded by a beautiful food producing garden? Permablitz.net wants to find the owner of a house to help them develop a luscious permaculture garden over 12 months.

You would host Adam Grubb, permablitz veteran, in your house for 12 months. In this time he would spend an average of 15 hours a week developing the garden system, something designed to suit your time, skills and desires for the future. The ideal house would be easily accessible by bike and public transport, with a good sized back (or front) yard, one which has the potential for plenty of work and design to go into it.

You would be happy to allow occasional small tours of the property later in the 12 month period. And you would like to be part of the process, a little at least, and want to continue to maintain the garden after the initial 12 month period (or have an alternative arrangement with a future boarder arranged).

Adam’s 15 hours would cover his rent only (pretty good deal since he can earn enough money for his rent in two hours usually!), but you would be expected to have some extra funds available for gardening or infrastructure costs. We could start with a one month trial.
