Gratitude for Garlic There may be one good thing about social distancing …it is a good time to do a course of garlic cloves. GAPS practitioners use garlic as an antibiotic, because it is a powerfully good, registered anti biotic which ONLY kills the bad bugs, not all your beneficial bugs as well. What a…
Merri Bee Organic Farmacy Nursery
We grow organic plants and animals for your permaculture. From house cows to garlic bulbs, we are working on it. As an avid gardener I use to spend a fortune at nurseries but I began to realise that the beautiful and abundant blooms in punnets and pots were achieved by a LOT of chemicals. Some…
Perennial Pasture establishment
It’s time to think about the coming wet season, and growing a prairie. Why? Because prairies actually sequester more carbon than forests. Both are sorely needed and we humans must grow them to replace what we have destroyed and rebuild our soil resource, or go the way of the White Pointer. Prairies are amazingly diverse….

Veganism is preventing wide spread adoption of regenerative grazing, the most effective action on climate change.
Just WHAT is going on? My social circle is polarized and the subject is almost banned as too touchy. The nicest people I know have been sucked in by simplistic vegan propaganda.The way out of climate change, desertification, biodiversity loss, and growing enough food to nourish a burgeoning population is clear. It’s called regenerative agriculture,…
Multi Species pasture establishment and/or cover crop service
In late 2018 we purchased a small seeder which makes several 1 inch wide furrows in a paddock, deposits seed or seed mix in the furrow, covers and rolls in one pass. We then added a compost extract injection system to apply good biology to the soil around the seed. The beauty of the seeder…
Ancestral Diet
Carnivore diet….another fad or the polar opposite of the vegan diet (with a myriad of benefits)? Ive been known to wield hoses around this place for so long that I get blisters on my palms, but there is one large place I never have to water, and that is the 1000 square meter “humungus” garden. That’s…
Vitamin C
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is one of the most talked about (and studied) vitamins on the planet. Yet, despite all the scientific evidence, many people are confused about its benefits – thanks to many misleading “nutritional” articles. Vitamin C seems essential to prevent infectious disease and deal with stress and toxins. It…
