Replicating Natural Systems - for Farmers, Market Gardeners and Homesteaders

Increasing productivity, with less inputs and less toiling, by working with Mother Nature

Mono crops are out, nasty chemicals are out, ploughing paddocks is out, so what can you do to be more productive on your patch of earth? 

Ecosystem growing is the answer to all the woes created by modern agriculture. Produce nutrient dense tucker in abundance, for profit or family. The Gordon Gnohm works closely with you to turn your yard or paddock into the most productive place on earth. 

The cornerstone of this work is Rainwater Harvesting and Passive Land Hydration. Closely followed by plenty of regenerating organic matter to build your soil and an introduction to the gazillions of microbes that keep the earth operational.

Get your patch of earth functioning more like Monga National Park and let all Natures critters be part of your world to reduce your inputs and leave you time for other things.

What Our Clients Say

Thanks Gordon (of the Gordon Gnohm) for all your meticulous work (and skill) in installing our pond/water habitat, and for your follow-up assistance since. I really appreciate how you listened to our needs. And also how you blended it so well into the surrounding garden landscape. It is exactly what we were after! I definitely recommend Gordon for any water garden project

Thanks to The Gordon Gnohm for Gordon’s extensive knowledge and expertise. He’s transformed our front lawn into a second car space which will be shaded by gorgeous Japanese Maples and finished with beautiful garden beds packed full with goodness, thanks to his know how. It’s now too lovely for parked cars and bins! We’re looking forward to having Gordon work on the next section of our front yard. I highly recommend a consultation with Gordon to help transform your patch of earth into an ecosystem.

Canberra and surrounds received seedlings from Sydney, and if you were lucky...
