It really does feel like a zillion years ago when we last blitzed. With lockdowns during the pandemic and uncertainty, it’s been difficult to plan anything. We can’t wait to one day get stuck into again. https://www.permablitz.net/past-blitzes/permablitz-220-ferntree-gully/ #flashback #permablitz #permablitzmelbourne #permaculture

Posted @withregram • @theurbannanna Making ‘tea’ is super easy, and gives you a sense of real connection and satisfaction. @milkwood_permaculture wrote about making your own seasonal local blend recently, which is a lovely idea so check that out for something to do while we’re confined to our neighbourhoods during lockdown. As long as you’re using safely edible herbs, spices, fruits and plants, there’s no real wrong way to blend teas. If you’re looking for flavour inspirations, hop online and look up the ingredients in popular commercial tea blends, and then see if you can create something similar. A note of warning about cloves though: traditionally they’ve been used to numb peoples mouths when they have toothache, and this is one old-fashioned remedy that’s no joke... Adding too many cloves to your tea blend can cause a comical yet dribbly result. Don’t ask us how we know 😂 *Its worth noting that some plants can have effects on medical conditions - liquorice & hawthorn as pictured here can interfere with heart and blood pressure function - so make sure you do a bit of research before getting all witchy-poo and mixing up a big batch.

Did you know that it is Plastic Free July? This is an opportunity to reassess your use of plastic and make a change. https://www.plasticfreejuly.org/ Posted @withregram • @plasticfreejuly Welcome to the 10th Plastic Free July! It’s a personal challenge that is part of a global challenge for the oceans, for cleaner streets and the planet. Choose one single-use plastic you can avoid and you’ll soon discover another…and another great solution. Signing up to the Plastic Free July challenge is the easiest way to discover the plastic free solutions that suit you. We provide resources and ideas to help you (and millions of others around the world) reduce single-use plastic waste everyday at home, work, school, and even at your local café. It’s not about being perfect (there is no failing with Plastic Free July) but rather start with looking at the plastics in your life (look inside your bin, fridge or pantry) and start with choosing to refuse one single-use plastic. Our movement has inspired over 250 million participants in 177 countries. You making a small change will collectively make a massive difference to our communities. You can choose to refuse single-use plastics in July (and beyond!). Best of all, being part of Plastic Free July will help you to find great alternatives that can become new habits forever. It is easy to question what difference one person can make but last year our participants avoided 825 million kg of plastic waste – together WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Design by @catfishcreative 🐟

About Permablitz Melbourne

Welcome to Permablitz Melbourne - where we get together and have fun learning about, designing and implementing suburban permaculture systems. Our focus is edible gardens, and our ultimate aim is to make the suburbs edible enough such that should food become unaffordable, we don’t even notice.
