Welcome

Welcome to permablitz.net - this site has been set up to help people get together and have fun learning about, designing and implementing suburban permaculture systems.  Our focus is edible gardens, and our ultimate aim is to make the suburbs edible enough such that should food become unaffordable, we don’t even notice.  See below for the next permablitz and feel free to submit your own onto the calendar.  Check out photos of blitzes 1-6 here, and photos of more recent blitzes in our gallery.

Gardens: The Real Growth Economy
Written by adam   
Sunday, 19 October 2008
Ok, time to get ecological.  In ecological terms the only real 'primary producers' are photosynthetic organisms -- plants and algae.  Ultimately our whole economy is powered by photosynthesis and the ancient sunlight captured by it, turned by eons of geological heat and pressure into the rich store of fossil fuels.  So, while in these days of financial meltown we may have, in economic terms, reached 'the end of growth', now could not be a better time to celebrate the wonder and fantastical nature of plants -- who will continue to grow regardless!
