  • Description

    Description

    In 2016 I learned about permaculture and did the PDC. In 2022 I moved to a new place nearby Trondheim. It is a small farm and I am starting from scratch. There were no beds or a field ready to grow plants. With the help from workawayers I now do have a vegetable garden and harvested a lot in 2023 and 2024! I want to create a forest garden and a vegetable garden with permacultur principles. Beside the permaculture project I am a gynecologist/obstetrician, specialised in fetal medicine and working at the university hospital in Trondheim. I am interested in nature, botanic, to grow plants, to understand the organism humic soil. I would like to be self-sustaining to live from the crops I am growing in my garden and can collect from the forest. Last not least, I`m a german, in 1999 I moved to Norway; german people can write the application in german :-).

    IMPORTANT
    I can host 1-2 people at the same time for 3 nights/2 days but no longer stays. Usually people come friday afternoon (after my work) og leave manday morning when I leave to work. Don`t apply if you are looking for a place you can stay longer.

    Help

    I need help to start a permaculture garden at my new place. Preparing the field/beds (no digg method, working with broadfork), planting, mulching, cutting shrubs and trees, prepare for compost, etc. Harvesting vegetables, fruits, collecting mushrooms and berries in the forest.
    I expect interest in organic farming, it would be nice with a little experience in how to handle plants. You must like cats.
    The schedule is weather dependent. That means that it is difficult to know exactly what time working outside is possible.
