Today we visited Paul's ten acre property on the outskirts of Wallan.
Apple, cherry, nectarine and peach trees are espaliered along wire fences inside the frame.
We tasted two varieties of heritage apples and they were delicious. Some feijoa and citrus trees are planted outside the frame; the birds don't like these as much.
Over at the vegie patch, Paul demonstrated how he sets up no dig garden beds. He covers the ground for a few months, suffocating the grass beneath, and then layers with mulch and compost.
Once plants are established, they are left to go to seed, enabling the veggie patch to maintain itself.
On our way back to the house, we spied some lemon trees full of fruit, and Paul let us at them!
Thanks for your hospitality Paul, and for sharing your experience with us.
