7. Building paths
Building mulched
mound garden beds

8. A HZ Pumen
“mandala” food
garden with central
pond utilising natural
land contour to help
water filling

9. Companion planting
rather than mono-culture
planting reduces the risk
of pest insect attacks

10. Building a large pond on site – shaping and water storing
capacity enabled by a local pig

12. Terrace permaculture
Terrace rice fields in Guangxi
Province, China.

13. Terraces used on
HZ PEC site –
Terrace walls are
also used as
“ladders” for
growing vine
plants

14. There are no
“weeds”, only
mulch / compost
that hasn’t been
cut yet

16. Building a long food growing
mound along a water flow
channel – Base of wood for 5 - 10
year nutrients – Layer of mulch for first
year nutrients – Layer of topsoil

17. Park-Urban community Gardens
Original site
Note the newly constructed swale now
being used to catch rain water

19. Paths have been constructed so visitors don’t accidentally damage the plants

21. A natural
building
constructed
on a training
course in
Thailand

22. Using rocks, clay and
reused bottles to make a
bench seat

23. Using bamboo and other plant materials to
make fences and vine climbing frames
Your “trash can” – The
rubbish resulting from 3
shopping bags of shopping
can be fitted inside…

24. Example
Building a thermal radiating bench seat – a
well designed system, with an efficient
combustion chamber and storage mass,
can store heat for up to 36 hours and
warms not only the seat but also the room
– Smoke is vented outside

25. Teepee used as an outdoor
kitchen
This is a 5.5m structure
made with fire hardened
bamboo struts and stitched
canvas
A significantly larger structure
is being planned

26. Other things we do
Locally picked berries
Dried fruits and nuts and pickled veges

27. Sun drying of fruits, veges and even meats can give these foodstuffs a long shelf life

28. An example of a
sustainable Aquaponics
System
charlie vinz from chicago

29. The plan for an on site
aquaponics system
featuring natural rain
water collection, water
recycling, and fish
growing in the base area
The pump will be
powered by a solar panel

30. Thank you!
