Permaculture South Africa Network

Hey all, putting this out there to connect with permies around South Africa.
Please introduce yourself and say where you're from, so we can build stronger local networks and share location apt solutions.

Hi There,

I think this is a great place to share permaculture knowledge. Thanks for sharing Leigh.

Myself and my wife (Lee-Ann) stay on a 2ha plot in Bon Accord, North of Pretoria. We are (slowly but surely) implementing a mandala system with a chicken tractor.

Hi, I'm Jacqueline, I stay in Capital Park. Pretoria. Got a few ovambo chickens, some raised beds, a natural pool, with some blue kurper in and gradually aiming to grow as much of my own food as possible.

Hi, another Pretoria person here.

Currently I grow veggies in my garden using permaculture principles. Every season is a learning curve.

Slowly but surely I'm finding ways to create a sustainable food forest in a very small area.

Hi we live in the wilderness growing most of our own food  of the grid slowly learning about permaculture

I started a year or 2 back to put all my organic material back in the garden. I don't make compost, I just use all as mulch and let it be. My soil improved and my forrest garden is happy.

By the way,  my name is Nico, I stay in Capital Park, Pretoria.

Hi Nico, Welcome to Permies. I'd love to see pictures of your forest garden!
https://permies.com/wiki/61133/Post-Image-Permies is a tutorial how to post an image - you can just add the photo as an attachment to a post if the picture is not online. We have a whole forum on forest gardens too, which might be the best place to share it.

Hi everyone, Charl Viljoen here. I'm in the Western Cape, doing Permaculture on a 16 hectare badly degraded smallholding. Growing 3 food forests in this climate is a little challenging, but gradually we are getting there.
