permablitz Bellingen 2010 - Info & FOE DIY kit

[Joe Walker]

Hi NextGEN members,

 

 from permablitz Bellingen Mid North Coast New South Wales Australia

 

www.permablitz.net Melbourne Australia. Blitz refers to the speed as in blitzkrieg (done in one day) and the volunteer reciprocity comes from the Amish barn raising model not the mega dollar Backyard Blitz (Popular television show in Australia). It is unfortunately a common misconception about permablitz. Permablitz Bellingen #7 at Atalanta's cost her approx. $50 with all the donations of materials and plants. There is a special magic, a spirit of permablitz.
