We undertake 'hands-on' research at our farm to find out how Permaculture can be successfully applied in our dryland climate. These projects include:

• Appropriate design and maintenance requirements for dryland homes and properties
  
  
• Dryland organic gardening and fertilisation that focus on soil biology and companion planting
  
  
• 'Hard-to-grow' native plant propagation and use
  
  
• Bee fodder crops and hive manangement in dry-land permaculture design
  
  
• Alternative dryland crops such as Apple Cactus, Marula and Argan in integrated orchard systems
  
  
• Alternative building using techniques such as mud cob with recycled materials and sandbag adobe
  
  
• Heirloom vegetable and herb varieties acclimatisation and seed saving techniques
