Under the Choko Tree By Nevin Sweeney

Choko Tree Friends - Greg and Vera

Their place is near Parramatta in Western Sydney and their block is about 860 square metres, with the majority of that being in the back yard. Their home is rennovated hardy plank 1950s home with a separate garage and shed. Chook shed is going in down the back under a huge gum behind the citrus tree.

The house has a northerly aspect and the large garden out the back has fruit trees and vegetables and some parts are fed by a greywater system in the back corner of the yard. Solar power sysyem will be done by Christmas.

The thing I like about their place is that it shows what can be acheived in just 2 years of committed action – from lawn and ornamentals to a full scale permaculture garden in this time frame is astounding!
