Has anyone heard of Landshare???
I met Phil dudman this week at MIFGS and after previously hearing about the idea of sharing land and growing vegetables I thought the idea was brilliant!!
(Last night I dreamt that the tailend of a plane dropped off and many people died, shocking I know. Sometimes I have wierd dreams,but I realised that many people had to be fed and we had to start planting seeds and getting food growing.) Ignore that bit.
The idea is that many people don't have the room to grow their own food on a large scale and others have lots of room but can't manage the size of their properties
It is a way of bringing people and skills together and sharing resources, I have already started thinking of an area that could be developed on our property using minimal resources and perhaps being very productive, and wondering what you all think?
Here is a link to their website http://www.landshareaustralia.com.au/index/
sadly only 2 of the est 20 veg beds were being used, I guess that those that choose to live without the space for a veg patch don't care for growing their own all that much, probably why the landshare system in Perth in being under utilised at the moment.
