Comment by Bailey Peryman on January 18, 2013 at 9:52pm Hi Justin,
I did a quick search on Google and found this interesting project - growing berries rich in anti-oxidants and all sorts of goodies. And some of them are planted in fibonacci spirals - interesting question though: http://www.mofga.org/Publications/MaineOrganicFarmerGardener/Winter...
Comment by Justin JX on January 18, 2013 at 4:48pm Just a question, has anyone explore incorporating Fibonacci sequence in guild design?

Comment by Mariana on November 15, 2012 at 5:05pm Kia ora koutou,
In response to Steven's question about the group getting active again,
I'd like to be part of a Christchurch Permaculture group that meets up face to face and shares resources like plants, seeds, tools, skills, DVD screenings, permaculture knowledge, and potlucks.
I’ve been inspired by a group in Dunedin that have recently started Permablitzing (Permaculture garden makeovers) and would be keen to see something similar happening here in Otautahi (as was suggested on here last year). For info on the Dunedin Permablitz See:
http://www.permaculture.org.nz/node/880
http://www.permaculture.org.nz/node/881
I’m sure there are people in this group with skills in permaculture design, building pizza ovens, bee keeping, water harvesting, etc. - skills that could be shared among the group as we moved from backyard to backyard working together to build a more abundant and resilient Christchurch.
Is anyone else keen?
Comment by Steven Kung on November 4, 2012 at 8:48pm From these people I've learned of the great benefits of allowing so-called "weeds" to grow, and consuming these weeds in some particular ways that are tasty and easy. Makes gardening so much easier, and makes your health and wellbeing so much better!
