Hi

I’m Baz,

I’m a green thumb who enjoy’s keeping himself busy with hands on projects and gardening on a large scale.

I’m a certified Permaculture Designer who has been developing and sharing ideas with like minded friend’s for the last 6 years, I live on a wonderful property in the subtropics of Queensland Australia bordering beautiful lake Kurwongbah.

I produce much of my own organic produce often sharing excess with friend’s and family. I have developed an award winning food forest system which I use to help inspire and expose friend’s to how these systems work and how beautiful they can be.

The food forest contain’s over 100 fruit and nut trees which are interlinked with layered food system’s, roaming vines and wild Tomato’s mixing with Ginger, Arrowroot and a heathy mix of legume’s. Two Biochar developed vegi garden bed’s covering roughly 80m2 are at the forefront of the Biochar development.

Smaller Biochar growing bed’s can be found all over this food growing 2000m2 area and a root around any of these garden bed’s will find a hand full of dark humus rich soil embedded with small lumps of Biochar. While Biochar is part of this system it is not the only area of focus, composting, worm farms, mulching, hard rock dust, Biodynamic’s are among some of the wonderful life giving processes that have been introduced here.

Many animal’s share this space with my beautiful partner and myself, Chooks roam around movable fenced areas within the forest and our horses over look from keyline, swaled, rock dust improved rotating paddocks.

I have added many native area’s to this system, 100′s of massive koalas fodder tree’s mixed with native bird friendly tree’s, It’s enjoyable to see native bird’s nesting in a tree you have planted and to see area’s once bare spring back to life.
