My dear friends, an update - the campaign is slowly gaining traction but there's a way to go still. Thank you to those who have contributed! I have enabled the possibility of support campaigns being launched, which means if you cannot afford to contribute money, launching a support campaign will raise money among your connections and direct it to this campaign.

As far as the permaculture side is concerned, I have dug two plot and will be sowing herbs and flowers later today - pictures as it develops!
