The link I sent did not work but went to the council website. If you put in Pool to Pond in the search bar you will get the information you are looking for. Here is the PDF from the website.

Check out this website in Australia....there is an area called the upper North Shore with very large blocks of land and large swimming pools. As the children have moved out the pool often gets rarely used - its too cold to swim in an unheated pool from April to November so it sits there unused with the expense of maintenance pool chemicals etc.....Kuringai Council announced an initiative for a free consult from a pool to garden conversion consultant and you would have to agree this is a marvellous idea creating a wonderful wildlife habitat.

I have an organic garden in Sydney Australia with an abundance of flowering plants everywhere. The sad thing is I can count the bees on one hand.....simply stop using herbicides & pesticides its not a difficult decision to make. Paul how can we start a global movement where people promise to never buy any of these products again. I was clearing out the cupboards from a house I bought and found a plug in pesticide for inside the home! Can you believe it you put in a sachet into the receptacle on a plug which you then plug into the wall and wafts of pesticides permeate through the room killing intermittently any insect that is flying by or any human that is breathing in the vicinity at the time. And the best one is advertising surface sprays for cockroaches with a baby crawling happily on hands and knees while Mummy happily sprays ad infinitum on every available sterile white surface. When are we going to wake up?

I live in Sydney Australia and we are about to cut down a tree and want to know if Hugelkultur can still be used in what is a termite prone area. Rather if burying the logs from the tree will attract termites. A broader discussion is how do you create an environment that will reduce the probability of termite attack on the house. First post be nice. Gidday.
