A 20 minute consultation with David, usually about home energy efficiency retrofit, or edible landscaping around your home.

A home retrofit discussion might be about strategic physical changes to the building, or it may be about changing the way the home is used and operated to make it work better, be more comfortable, and save on energy costs.

An edible landscaping discussion will look at ways to increase home food production while also increasing the interest, amenity, ecology and use value of the landscape. We will look for multiple integrated benefits between the house and the landscape, such as shading, protection and structure.

These 20 minute consultations arose from David's participation in a Alternative Technology Association's 'speed date a sustainability expert' event, where he found that he could help people with specific issues in these relatively brief sessions.

David has been practicing and teaching permaculture in North East and North Central Victoria since 1996, while developing his own property, Murrnong, at Violet Town. He convenes and leads the Murrnong permaculture design course. murrnong.com
