Our work day at school is each Wednesday. We do what needs to be done around the property, and Robyn cooks us up a great nutritious meal we all share.
Today we took every tool out of the shed and learnt their names, learnt about their use and then learnt how to clean and care for them.
We de-rusted a lot of tools that had a crust of rust due to exposure to the elements, then oiled them with linseed oil to protect them.
Most of the tools with a sharp edge can be sharpened with a gardeners stone available from gardening shops. We sharpened secateurs, sickles, a scythe and bladed tools.
A record of my journey as i spend what promises to be a wonderfully rich and diverse year immersed in permaculture studies at Djanbung Gardens in Nimbin, NSW... I am really learning how to LIVE and thrive while creating a harmonious, sustainable and self sufficient lifestyle for my family, our community, and our planet... step by step.
