  • Our new hive of bees buzzing about their business...😉🐝 #bees #beekeeping #beehive #flowhive #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • Our Subpod is well and truly settling in now with the brahmi planted around its edge perking up nicely. At the age of two to three months, these new worms will be old enough to reproduce. Then, the worm reproductive cycle is complete. Mature worms can produce two cocoons per week under ideal conditions. In theory, their population can double every three months. We thank Andrew Hayim de Vries and Saadi Allen of @compostcentral in Byron Bay for their donation of this demonstration Subpod worm farm. A word of note: the mulch needs to be pulled back a little from the edge of the Subpod, unlike you see here, so that the pod may vent off any excess heat. #subpod #compostcentral #compostworms #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • For mulching options...you want to lay newspaper, presoaked, at cover to cover thickness minimum. Layer them across each other just like you would lay roofing tiles. Pre-soak your cardboard too. That is also best laid many pieces thick. An inch or two thickness of presoaked card would be ideal. #mulching #sheetmulch #cardboardrecycling #newspaperrecycling #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • “Red in the morning...shepherd’s warning.” Looks like we are in for some much needed rain today...we are certainly praying for some easing of the drought conditions. #rain #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • Wood chipped paths between our growing beds in kitchen garden. The nutgrass on the beds are being heavily mulched with cardboard, newspaper and then pasture grass on top. The pathways are easy to maintain with a roto-tiller. Turns everything over, pulls out the weeds and grass, repeat a week or two later, or more depending on your season. Machines and technology can certainly make life easier and work faster. #rototilling #nutgrass #woodchips #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • Home grown pineapple, naturally sun ripened. When grown this way they taste sensational...and you don’t experience the discomforting phenomenon known as ‘cutting of the tongue or gums’. Citrus grown with artificial fertilizers will do this to you as the latter don’t allow the fruit acids to properly mature into fruit sugars. You can eat only a very limited amount. When grown naturally and with patience, pineapple is one of the most amazing fruits you could taste. Did you know the conventional method of farming pineapples is one of the most toxic growing practices there is. The run-off from these monocultures poisons and kills nearby tracts of land, waterways and the people living nearby are severely affected. The chemicals used to grow conventional pineapples are carcinogenic and endocrine disrupting. Try growing one naturally in a pot at home...be patient with a Nature, and watch your pineapple form. Then, when it is ready...filled with luscious pesticide free and artificial fertilizer free, sun-filled goodness, eat it slowly and with presence. You won’t go back to conventional monoculture pineapples after that...and your initiation may just propel you down the path of greater earth care in the growing of our foods. It will be worth it. High quality nutrition always is. #pineapple #bromeliad #ananuscomosus #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • Wood duck eggs...hiding in a weedy section of our main crop area. This is actually one of the potato beds we have yet to harvest, grown over, but we are about to cut it back and harvest the potatoes. We left the nest undisturbed. Even though there is no shortage of wood ducks around and they do eat our seedlings if food is scarce elsewhere. This can provide a moral dilemma for many people. Do you choose between leaving the eggs or destroying the nest? Where there is no malice or cruel intention, but a need for you to eat. What are your thoughts on the matter? #woodduck #Harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • Good morning from Zaytuna Farm with our new flock of Isa Brown chickens. These are egg producing birds and are at point of lay now or imminently at least. We couldn’t be happier with our Chicken Caravan 30 aka the Chickenator, as we have named it 😉. It keeps the birds safe, lets them out in the morning, self-closes them at night, has a water point and feeder attached for you to maintain as necessary, and a roll-away nest box to keep the eggs clean that also automatically locks the chickens out at night. It’s easy to clean, easy to move and charges itself if you give it some sun. If you want chickens but have time limitations these certainly do help. Always remember though that Life systems do need your care and looking in on them daily is essential for their well-being. The automation though of the @chickencaravan gives you greater discretion over when you can do this. We do recommend them. #chickencaravan #isabrown #pasturedpoultry #pastureraised #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
  • A stirrup or Dutch hoe makes short work of surface weeds. This bed was covered in the infamous nutgrass. Once disrupted with the Dutch hoe we will cardboard mulch this bed, mulch over the cardboard and plant into strategically placed holes. #dutchhoe #stirruphoe #cardboardmulch #harvestwater #buildsoil #regrowforest #foodforest #growyourownfood #poisonfree #zaytunafarm #permacultureresearchinstitute #permaculturewillfeedtheworld #peaceandfreedomonearth #regenearthproject #gardenersofinstagram #permaculture #veggie #kitchengarden #farmtotable
