Trash in the creek

When we first discovered this mess, we were overwhelmed thinking about how we were going to deal with it. Now it doesn't seem so bad. If nothing else, it's become a habitat for creatures. We will eventually clear it out, but slowley, giving time for animals to move on and find another home. At this point I've removed some corrugated iron to the side to be used for a chook shed. I'm super aware of snakes at the moment, so reluctant to dig around too much. Most of the trash is recyclable. I'm also removing glass if i see it to make the area a little safer.
Next winter we will have a working bee for trash removal (too snaky at the moment). If you are interested to be involved let me know.

I've asked a friend to be regular guest blogger. She is a permaculture guru and a wealth of knowledge. I hope to have a post from her soon for your viewing pleasure. I am also yet to get Pat to commit to sharing a little of his knowledge on here with regards to building. I'll keep pushing for that one.

That's the spirit and yes, definately the time to start to be a little more wary of the snakies......

That cash register's a gorgeous artefact... any other treasure in the trash?
But seriously, have been offline for most of last month - great to see how well things are progressing AND that you've shelved plans to move until you're back from India. V wise ;) xxx
