~Welcome to the forum~
Hi there Tullymoor,
Thanks for the welcome
Sorry, I haven't had a chance to intro' myself
I signed up early today but then got carried away with the backyard
oh my avatar, yesit sure is a dancing chooky :razz:
well.. I pinched it from somewhere, can't remember where but you can use it, I have a tendancy to change avatars pretty quickly :twisted:
I just stumbled apon this forum today and am pretty excited
I'm in melbourne and spend most of my time in my suburban backyard where i'm about 2 weeks away from introducing chooks for the first time!
There's much to catch up on so i must go read everything before i start asking questions already probably asked
I love the whole idea of permaculture and have been experimenting with many things that I hope to put it all in practice on more land one day.
Hi there Ben,
Welcome!
What part of Melbourne are you in? (just roughly)
Looking forward to chatting further, especially about chooks. (and seeing your other avatars, if there anything like that one. :lol: )
Well, just finished my quick check in. Off to bed now. <yawn>
Tam
Hi Tam,
I'm in Yarraville, which is about 8 ks from the city
your in Yarra valley so hows that? sounds like i live in the house part and you live in the valley part :lol:
Hi Ben
I live in Thornbury, but aspire to Yarraville. Things seem very friendly over there. Is it true? Or am I projecting :? ?
It's all good
g'day Ben
G'day Ben, good to see another Melbournian joining the forum. I'm down Werribee way where I'm about to launch into converting a backyard of bare earth (highly reactive red clay) into a chook paradise and permaculture garden. Any suggestions for starting off from scratch (pardon the pun!) most welcome.

Hi Seuss,
yeah i guess it's a friendly atmosphere, sorta like an old village
with the big smoke growing around it in leaps and bounds.
a lot has changed over the last 10 - 15 years :shock:
in the 60's yarraville pubs were full of gangsters and wharfies,
now days it's artists and environmentalists, not sure which are more scary! :lol: the pubs and clubs are now cafe's and juice bars
even the police station has closed.
the landscape at the front of houses is changing too, where as we all had the regular grass strip out the front, now more people are growing low native ground covers instead and i'm starting to notice a difference in bird life around the place
G'day Peter,
wtg with the chook paradise and permie plans!
my god-parents live in sth werribee near the beach there, great spot
and man there's a lot a cabbages grown there :lol:
i'm doing the same so you can sit next to me in class ok?
well I think you've you've already made the first most important step,
your here looking for ideas before you go ahead, that's so important.
this seems to be the place for the permaculture side, once you finish googling the topic to death, you'll probably end up back here wanting first hand knowledge rather than text book stuff that seems to be copied and pasted over and over again, same stuff just different colour web pages
you may also want to check out a specific local chook forum like..

aswell as a garden forum, then you'll have it all covered.gif "8)")

How do you move emoticons TO this site? I can get them into my own email, but can't move them to my posts here. Any tips?
Sue
Sue, you would treat an emoticon just like a normal picture
so it would need to be hosted somewhere like the allocated space
your isp would have provided you.
then it's just a matter of inserting the image tag where you want it
within a post
