Suburban Sustainability – Habitat, Herbs & Hens

Ettalong Beach

In under five years this typical suburban yard has been mulched and planted into a haven for myself, my community and my local wildlife. We house chickens which are dual purpose (eggs & meat) and have adopted a style of vege gardening which suits our climate and individual needs. This is all achieved in a very limited space of under fifty square metres. My vision for this garden has always been to support habitat for wildlife amidst the urban sprawl. Despite the sandy soils, saline winds and the harsh heat of the Peninsula we have managed to support hundreds of indigenous plants species, including rainforest bush foods.

Terrigal Uniting Permaculture Patch (TUPP)

Terrigal

The Terrigal Uniting Permaculture Patch (TUPP) was established on land owned by the Terrigal Uniting Church in June 2023. It operates as a community garden using permaculture principles to the best of our knowledge and ability. In the short space of eighteen months we have built seven raised garden beds, a long hugelkultur (a mound for planting), composting bays and a small shed. We have a worm farm to provide fertiliser. We have landscaped stairs into the slope. The garden was designed by Paul Buckley to harness the water flow on the slope.

Mustard Seed Small Farm

Glenning Valley

Mustard Seed Small Farm began 4 years ago when we moved to Glenning Valley. We grow veggies, fruit & berries in our 400m2 veggie patch. We breed Nigerian Dwarf milking goats & raise heritage Buff Orpington chickens. We make our own compost on site using the 'waste' from our garden & animals, enriched with castings from our 2 IBC worm farms. We are also amateur beekeepers with 2 young European honeybee hives. If you decide to visit with us, you'll get a sense of what's possible to achieve on a small acreage in a few years, with very limited time & material resources.
