We are pleased to share a promotion for our next EYBD Book, Milkwood: Real Skills for Down-to-Earth Living by Kirsten Bradley and Nick Ritar.

 

Kirsten and Nick live at Melliodora in southern Australia – a beautiful permaculture smallholding designed by David Holmgren, co-originator of permaculture. What is permaculture, you ask? Permaculture is an agricultural ecosystem intended to be sustainable and self-sufficient. Remember Matt Damon in Martian? Well this is same but different and far less life threatening. 

With their team the authors teach everything from permaculture design to market gardening, natural building and mushroom cultivation, to help create resilient and abundant households and communities. More information on their courses can be found on their website and in their debut book, Milkwood. 

This vibrant book is a valuable resource filled with the skills and facts to get you inspired and started on living a handmade, home-grown life. From growing your own vegetables to cultivating mushrooms, it is all here packed along with recipes and photographs that will guide you along the way.

I am looking forward to spring this year, armed with this book to start my garden in our new home. The last two years have been hectic with our move and other issues, that I missed out on planting a garden. This year I hope to do even more besides my usual tomatoes and herb selections and Milkwood will be there by my side.

    I have dreams of creating a raised bed vegetable garden using the square metre gardening system

  • janv  on  January 13, 2019

    I love my garden

  • LaurenE  on  January 13, 2019

    We have a very small garden, and it's a wonderful respite from city life!

  • lauriesk  on  January 13, 2019

    I have tried to garden, but have never been successful. I want to try again.

  • AsTheNight  on  January 13, 2019

    I have several gardens, but my dream is to convert my entire half acre to gardens.

  • riley  on  January 13, 2019

    I hope to build some raised beds for vegetables and plant as many fruit trees as I can at my next home.

  • jmay42066  on  January 13, 2019

    I have a small garden each year, but would love to have a large one if room permitted.

  • cpattersongo  on  January 13, 2019

    I have a garden that I have let the raspberries take over, which is not entirely a bad thing. They are very low maintenance other then pruning back once a year, watering if we don't get rain, and then picking and eating! I really should try to grow a few vegetables to round out my diet though.

  • lgroom  on  January 13, 2019

    Only in my memories now.

  • thecharlah  on  January 13, 2019

    Yes, I have a garden the gets a little bigger each year…

  • lapsapchung  on  January 14, 2019

    We have a lovely but small vegetable garden. I can't take any credit for it though, it's all my husband's work

  • kmn4  on  January 14, 2019

    I would love to have a large garden, but unfortunately, our yard is small, doesn't drain well (Ohio clay…), and doesn't get nearly enough sun because of our great big maple tree. So, herbs it is until I retire to the southwest. 🙂

  • itadakimasu  on  January 14, 2019

    Yes I have a veggie garden and many fruit trees. Hope to expand my veggie garden!

  • sarahawker  on  January 14, 2019

  • vinochic  on  January 17, 2019

    I have a small community garden plot, but dream of having a large garden one day…

  • RachelLeah  on  January 17, 2019

    I wish I did have a garden but currently we don't even have a yard 🙁 We have grown some container plants over the past years, but are moving in just a few short months and yard/garden space for raised beds is at the top of my must-haves list for our new home!

  • antpantsii  on  January 17, 2019

    I have a wonderful south facing yard that I garden in a number of raised beds. I do have vigorous competition for my vegetables and berries with the deer rabbits and raccoons.
    I plot my battle with the creatures every winter with variations on fencing, repellants and plantings that are not tempting to their palates.
    I love my garden even sharing it with wildlife pleases me enormously!

  • CarbonToe  on  January 18, 2019

    I have a garden and would love to introduce a hive into the mix.

  • cathycathycathy  on  January 18, 2019

    I dream of growing vegetables in hanging baskets because of a lack of ground space in my garden.

  • Steben  on  January 18, 2019

    I do have a garden during the summer and wish I could keep all year around but I live in Canada…

  • lovelily1001  on  January 18, 2019

    i'm more of a gardener in imagination only. dogs and deep shade make even grass a challenge.

  • t.t  on  January 18, 2019

    I mostly garden in pots (herbs, tomatoes, etc.), but I'd love to have a full vegetable and fruit garden someday…

  • cora429  on  January 19, 2019

    Once we move back into a house I will definitely have a garden… until then some potted herbs on the balcony will have to suffice.

  • katieate  on  January 19, 2019

    My husband and I have a garden and are gradually learning what veggies work best in it. Nothing better than being able to cook with veggies and herbs fresh from the garden!

  • mrscahughes  on  January 19, 2019

    I have dreams of a large garden. My husband is not so keen on the idea since as a child it was his job to weed it.

  • adayinthelifeofjennay  on  January 19, 2019

    I have a garden and love cooking from it

  • virjeania  on  January 20, 2019

    My neighbor has a garden that I cannot attempt to compare to. I am fortunate he shares his bounty. I can only dream of a garden.

  • Sfgordon  on  January 21, 2019

    Our landlord is a landscape architect and keeps our outdoors garden looking lovely, but so far there aren't any edible plants. I keep a few windowsill planters with herbs (they usually look pretty sad) but I would love to learn more and expand my growing repertoire 😀

  • tennyogirl  on  January 22, 2019

    I live in an apartment, but I try to have an herb garden on the porch every year.

  • kitblu  on  January 30, 2019

    I had a garden before I moved. I waited through the season last year to see what was in my new space. There were a few flowers and a flowering (but not fruiting) crab apple tree. I also had all the windows replaced and kept all of the old ones that I could. Most are wood frames and I am planning to make a greenhouse with them. I might make a vegetable garden or wait a year to see what happens with the greenhouse.

  • Laura1  on  January 30, 2019

    Only dreams. I live in a city apartment with no outdoor space.

  • Uhmandanicole  on  February 2, 2019

    Once I have a home with a yard, would love to have a veggie and herb garden, plus a couple fruit trees.

  • SheenaSharp  on  February 2, 2019

    I have a small herb garden on the deck. I have tried fruit, but the squirels get 99% of it. Wild food it available here, though and that is the part I am really interested in.

  • Karla123  on  February 2, 2019

    I love to garden and have raised beds, containers, and ground space where I grow vegetables and herbs.

  • Nkrieda78  on  February 2, 2019

    I have a tiny yard but have become quite adept at turning it into a food forest. We tore down a huge deck and turned it into raised beds and are even moving food into the front yard. Last year I grew sweet potatoes in the driveway in bags and our composter lives there too!

  • Sladea86  on  February 3, 2019

    I have a large garden which was just grass slowly converting it to vegetable patches. I try to garden organically.
