Hi DJ, Welcome to Permies! I hope you find your future family.

How long have you been interested in Permaculture? There is some interesting stuff going on with Syntropic agroforestry in New Zealand, have you come across the PermaDynamics team there? I'm still wondering whether it will work in a slower growing area like mine, however. I wish you luck in your endeavors!

Thanks Nancy

Been interested and following Permaculture for a few years. Haven't met any of the Permadynamics team but have seen a lot of the content they put out, 'Byron in NZ' is also putting out some good syntropic agroforestry content.

They are both further up north from me and have a lot warmer weather up there so I wonder how it will go down here also, but will find out as I go.

Hi DJ,

I'm in the states but have been dreaming of checking out NZ! I'm also "unjabbed" but I do get my fair share of splinters. I'm a muralist and have a small property in Vermont.
How's the building going? Do you have any fruit trees planted?
I've got a "fedge" going in my front yard with a tartarian dwarf cherry, a pear, apple, a few hardy kiwi vines, aronia berry, blueberry, hazelnut, honeyberry and mulberry!
I'm also growing grapes and have a couple of giant black walnut trees in the back section of my land. Had a bumper crop a couple years ago, still eating them, hoping this year will be prolific again.

would love to hear what you have growing over there

be well
Lopi
