The Fernmount Food Forest is situated on a north facing, sloping acre on the border of warm temperate and subtropical climate zones on the mid north coast of NSW, 3 minutes from Bellingen. The land is roughly divided into four of the five permaculture zones and horticultural practice generally follows permaculture principles. The property has sold but the original posts are maintained for reference purposes.

Morning Autumn Walk
8.30 AM and its time for a stroll with Nick's dog. Down the central path from the house at the front of the block to these indigenous Tree Ferns midway and at a small culvert bridge over a stream bed. We have massive storm events and Easterly Lows can dump a couple of metres of rain over a few days. This bridge has been replaced twice and finally with larger 30cm diameter pipes.
The Tree Ferns are self seeded and I must keep pruning the roots out of the nearby storm-water drain to keep the water flowing.
