Mark Udovitch // Inner City Permaculture, bees, chickens, mushrooms, Permaculture in the Pub

Mark Udovitch and his partner Lisa wisely used Covid lockdowns to establish an urban microfarm just south of the Sydney CBD, in the leafy suburb of Bardwell Valley. This steep and productive block is flourishing with veggies, fruit trees and indigenous plants. Mark and Lisa also share the property with European honeybees, a chicken coop, and their two young children.

Mark is also a prolific preserver, fermenter and sourdough maker, is a member of the Sydney Edible Garden Trail Team, hosts a regular Permaculture at the Pub event, and is a Radiation Therapist in his spare time. He's passionate about getting more dirt under the fingernails of more people, and shares what he knows online.

Mark lives, works and tends to his garden on Gadigal country, in NSW

Maddie has - in a very roundabout way - made a Porto Tonico with Magnolia syrup. It's like gin and tonic, but port and tonic, (with or without magnolia syrup). Garnish it with an orange slice, cinnamon quill and rosemary.

We're debriefing all things Citrus.
Emily is on a full agpanthus rant, and turns out Maddie thought the singular of Agapanthus was...Agapantha. Lol. She didn't realise this wasn't the case until after we'd finished recording.

Emily is on the green manure train, Maddie is hoping to grow Cucamelons.

One of Emily's sisters bought her the book Horti-Curious by Ann Treneman and she's LOVING it.

Maddie is obsessed with her Oak & Rose Razor Hoe.

We learned heaps from attending one of the Grow Great Fruit pruning webinar.

Things Mark mentions: Limestone Permaculture, Root Lab Mushrooms, Permaculture in the Pub
