Harnessing the Natural Energy Flows of the land
Permaculture farming is all about conforming to laws of nature and setting up in a way to get more from less. Nature is supposed to do the “heavy lifting” for us.
Broken Durian Branches
When old and towering durian trees bear excessive fruits and you’re not able to cull the selection, they just end up breaking the very branch that supports them all. A “bountiful” harvest in season is not always a good thing.
Amaranth: Primary pasture vegetation
A pasture vegetation that serves both as food for animals and humans in addition to help soaking up excess manure from the soil. Excellent versatility indeed! A permaculture element that is truly multifunctional.

Setting up Paddock Fencing for Rotational Grazing
Soil is food for animals. It ain’t any simpler than that. As such, the animals’ movement at the farm have to be controlled and moved from field to field so that their food source can be regenerated, and the soil does not go bare or compacted.
Collecting biomass for deep litter system
Biomass is a highly valued resource in an integrated farming practice where animals are kept. They serve as high carbon bedding material for our deep litter system.
Ducks vs Dogs: A case of betrayal
When young, adventurous and curious dogs go berserk, it normally ain’t good news for chickens and ducks if they aren’t kept in check. I learnt my lessons the hard way.
Food Security: Is Your Food Really “Organic” and Sustainable?
How secured, safe, sustainable and nutritious is your food source? Has keeping your tummy filled led to jeopardising the natural environment? It shouldn’t be, if the food waste loop is closed and managed well.
Ducks vs Fish: A clash for dominion
Achieving a balanced symbiotic relationship between different elements in a permaculture system takes time and careful planning. Moving your animals around the farm is one way to avoid overgrazing and encourage soil rest and regrowth.
