A lot of conventional Hydroponics growers are taking a careful look at converting their systems to Commercial Aquaponics not only because of the inherent benefit of growing fish and vegetables together but also the fact that water - a precious commodity in Australia is at a premium and reusing water and only topping up as needed is a big plus to minimising water loss and maximising profits.

For many years they’ve been seen as a symbol of pride in Australia. Expatriate writers in the 50′s and 60′s would  write about returning to Sydney by ship and about being greeted by the  smell of  wafting gum tree leaves as they waxed lyrical about the nostalgia they felt...

What started off as an introduction to building a basic shed for housing goats turns into a lesson in cycling nutrients and understanding Permaculture. When Ecofilms asked Elisabeth Fekonia to show us her goat milking shed we wondered what those two covered bathtubs in the corner of the shed were doing there? What we got was a lesson in Permaculture nutrient cycling and simple effective design that just works without costing you a lot of money.

Getting goats to nibble on Mugwort is not easy. Elisabeth says it took her cattle and goats about a year of grazing before they attempted to nibble on this plant. Now they readily nibble on this plant only when they feel the urge to expel parasites from their system.

Its not often that you get to meet a living legend everyday and lets face it, the term is bandied around for all sorts of people, sportsmen and even celebrities – all the time. But Peter Andrews is different. Here is a guy not afraid to speak his mind and more importantly – back...

Ten years after Permaculture guru Geoff Lawton’s attempt at greening a small part of the desert in the Middle East,  is a new video currently being produced by Craig Mackintosh called “Greening the Desert II.”  Geoff and Craig are currently in Jordan filming and documenting...

Over the last 10 months we’ve been busy filming part two of Murray Hallam’s Aquaponics Made Easy video series. We believe in giving people a lot of quality information in our DVDs and the response from people who have bought Murray’s previous DVD has been overwhelming....

Whilst we were filming the Food Forest DVD with Geoff Lawton he mentioned to us casually that he had a number of slides he'd taken many years ago of a Food Forest system he discovered was 2,000 years old. He discovered this system when he was a young man surfing in Morocco but walking through such a majestic system as this one, haunted him for many years as he thought about its potential.

Tony Coote believes his chickens lay the best eggs on the planet and he's got the proof to prove it. The eggs from his 12,000 chicken farm located at Mulloon Creek Natural Farms near Canberra were independently analysed by the Government CSIRO laboratories and found to contain twice the amount of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids that are found in conventional chicken farm eggs.

Currently in production is Murray Hallam's brand new DVD "Aquaponics Secrets" which will take you beyond the basics and will reveal some of the more hard to understand stuff of raising fish and vegetables in an organic natural system.

This DVD looks at a small acreage farm and follows Permaculture teacher Geoff Lawton and a team of students as they consult with a client, survey the landscape and discuss the best way to capture rainwater and divert it into a series of swales to feed a dam system that they will construct over...

Join Geoff Lawton on a Permaculture adventure as he demonstrates how to grow a food forest from start to finish. Over 90 minutes of quality information to get you on the right track in creating your own garden of Eden. We start with a 20 minute Permaculture Classroom as Geoff explains the...
