Well, I've been remiss on updates, and this is going to be a quick picture post because I've got big Rocket Stove plans for today and am itching to get started. But, I took some photos the other day in hopes of showing you guys what I've been up to. I'm planning on making a video to describe what I've done, and also update the garden/hugel/swale videos, but I'll get to those later. In the meantime, here's my friend Eric with an incredible axe throw from a few years ago. We were going for the big round in the center of the wood shed. Sorry for the swearing....
I'm putting that here so you can see what it looked like a couple years ago. Woodshed full of 10 cords or so, tall trees on the hill to the South, no light, dark moldyness everywhere on the back side of the house. Constant wet ground, and a flooded basement due to the moisture.
Here's what's been going on these last few months, and why I haven't been posting much....
I'm going to have to come do explanations later, but new root cellar, greenhouse, drainage, terraces, swales, etc.
