Bruce Molloy is here! Just hanging and designing in our site-in-progress with Sabina. Few more days til the Building a Community Garden Workshop, woo hoooo. We’re gettin pretty full up, so if you’d like to join us, do register as soon as possible.
Our new kitchen shelf, fashioned from unwanted pallets we found by the roadside, put together with the amazing carpentry skills of Jan. What other resources can we find around our neighbourhoods? #recycle #upcycle

Last plants for 2012: We’re doing lots of planting tomorrow at our project-in-progress. Pop by and plant some too, and sweat out the Christmas stuffing 🙂 Ping over your contact details to hello@eatsshootsandroots.org and we’ll give you directions. Over and out!
Demo-site in progress: If Jan can saw, so can you! In the process of accumulating more building materials for our nursery from the nearby warehouse, and making it all fit into a small car at the same time. If you’ve got any good quality pallets to discard, keep us posted.

Demo-site work in progress: Our new walking path thanks to our amazing volunteer Jan all the way from the Czech Republic. Recycled concrete pieces courtesy of MBPJ who is currently breaking the drain in our neighborhood apart and putting in new pieces.

Our neighbour just gave us some #pulasan fruit from his tree, whilst also telling us that his bounty is organic too. Very sweet (both the neighbour and the fruit)!
Our overgrown beds of Kang Kung, Sweet Potato, Selom and Surinam. Letting them grow out to serve as ground cover for now. Wooden slates were found discarded at the end of our street, previously part of a bed frame. Abundant resources in the suburbs! Sometimes our neighbours do look at Read more…
The Make-Shift Nursery at our new site, made out of pallets we found on Jalan Gasing. Cut with love and skill by #TheCarpentersDaughter (a.k.a. Sabina)
Getting ready for yet another Permaculture Design Course that’s happening in 2 weeks. Guides, check. Gloves, check!
Digging to find gold in the garden of our new space. We ran a gold detector machine over this spot and it buzzed like crazy. Kidding! Just digging up some soil samples to be tested for lead and nutrients before we start work on our new garden.
Spot the Sabina? Latest photo of the #padi plot, at 3 months old now. #sri
Living a double life: first as a flower… then as a Terung Bulat.
…and some accidental rice growing on the pathways that we covered with rice husk. Happy accident nevertheless!
Measuring up to the experimental SRI plot sowed by the PDC students in May, 2 and a half months on. Not long now…
