Issue 32 Out Now!

Pip’s Issue 32 is packed full of inspiration and information to start the new season on the front foot.

As well as showing you how to create a diverse living pantry at your place and providing an in-depth guide to pruning fruit trees, we take you into four nonna’s kitchens, where they share their pasta-making secrets. We visit an organic farm in NSW’s Northern Rivers where a shared farming arrangement is creating far more than nutrient-dense food.

You’ll meet an Indigenous woman who makes possum-skin cloaks, learn how to turn your winter produce into delicious dishes, and discover how easy it is to make biochar at home.

As well as all our regular seed-saving, foraging and how-to guides, we’ll take you on a tour of a small sustainable studio-style home, give you a bunch of tips for growing food in winter, and remind you of the importance of allowing yourself the time to rest and recharge.

We show you how pruning deciduous fruit trees promotes reliable harvests and supports your trees to grow both stronger and healthier.

Said to have the ability to both battle climate change and restore soils, biochar has plenty of benefits for backyard growers. We explore further.

We take you into four nonna’s kitchens, where they share their pasta-making secrets.

Much can be made of pasta but ultimately its beauty lies in its simplicity. In its most basic form, fresh pasta is simply flour plus hydration in the form of water or eggs.

We show you how embracing seasonality is about understanding the cycles of the land and the climate – even, or especially, as it changes – and knowing they have the ability to make things taste the best possible versions of themselves.

We learn about one owner-builder’s story of creating a small sustainable home for herself using her experience and love of permaculture.

We visit a successful shared-farming arrangement playing out in Lismore, NSW that was born out of a pretty extreme set of circumstances. But it proves that if we can shed the societal expectation that all exchanges around gain need to be financial, the benefits can be life-changing.

Nat Mendham reveals how we may feel ready to curl up in a warm spot and hibernate this autumn and winter, but how do we surrender to rest, when it feels like there’s so much to do?

Like nature all around us, we’ve had a busy autumn. We have been frantically storing autumn’s bounty, socialising in the warm weather and ticking off to-do lists. We
are ready to curl up in a warm spot and hibernate. But how do we surrender to rest, when it feels like there’s so much to do?

More than just an edible garden, we show you how to design a functional living pantry to create a thriving ecosystem that nourishes itself and all those who visit it.
