The beauty of pollination! Our native bees buzzing around the stamen of Passion fruit, collecting its gold-green pollen.

Pollinated fruit is known to be bigger, better, more sweet, more nutritious, with a longer shelf life.

This is bonkers! The banana growing at the Banana Circle are 10 times taller than the one in normal soil. And they've just started madly fruiting too!

Shout out to permaculture guru Marcus at @habitatcollective.sg who introduced the idea...

A banana circle is simply a circular hole about 2m dia and 1m deep. The earth removed from the hole is mounded around the outside and used to grow plants. The pit in the middle is used as a wet composting area. The breakdown of organic material provides nutrition for the plants growing around the perimeter.

We positioned the circle at lower ground where runoff is direction into: As bananas like lots of water and are heavy feeders, it's a great way to deal with a problem boggy area. As well as a place to dispose of your compost and kitchen scraps, which we get from @lionbreweryco_taproomsg 's spent beer grain!

Now who wants to try our harvest a week or two from now!
