Casa. Hasta aquí llegan las fotos que tenemos por ahora. Ha sido un placer compartirlas con ustedes. Esperamos en un futuro añadir las de la cocina, aunque primero aun deberemos acabar principalmente el baño. Seguimos por aqui dispuestos a escuchar y aportar cualquier cosa. Y si a alguien le interesa, tenemos en mente escribir un libro explicando muchos detalles que nos encontramos al construir y a los que solo hallamos solución tras mucho pensar y buscar. Es todavia un proyecto... quien sabe:) Aunque no nos conocemos, diria que todos los que nos interesamos en la autoconstrucción y la permacultura tenemos muchas cosas en común.

Un abrazo de corazón a tod@s. Trucos para crear un huerto en casa y tener verduras ecológicas (II). Los semilleros. En anteriores post hemos dado algunos consejos para tener en nuestra propia casa un huerto en una maceta especial para hortalizas en la que podemos sembrar cada vez que consumamos una variedad otra nueva que nos ayudará a tener siempre verduras frescas y totalmente ecológicas, ya que nosotros somos los que controlamos lo que las echamos y como están criadas. Pero para ello es necesario que tengamos en cuenta que es necesario que tengamos semilleros con brotes tiernos de verduras para así poder replantar nuestro huerto. Una de las principales ventajas de tener nuestro propio huerto en casa es que podemos tener todo el año verduras listas para comer, pero es necesario que replantemos las que utilizamos para comer, por ello debemos ser previsores y tener listas unas cuantas y de distintas variedades para así poder repoblar el huerto casero que hemos creado para nuestro propio consumo.

Para proceder a su plantación es importante que nos hagamos con semilleros especiales para esto.

How to make your own low-tech vertical farm. The ingenious low-cost vertical farms of Willem Van Cotthem are within reach of everybody. Vertical farming has become a popular idea, but what is mostly forgotten is that the energy required for the operation and construction of vertical farms largely negates the ecological advantages.

This also applies to small-scale systems, like those of Philips (a concept) or Inka Biospheric Solutions (a product). A while ago two New York ladies made headlines with their "Window farms", described as a kind of low-tech indoor vertical farming system (illustration on the right). Upon a closer look, however, I found the method to be rather high-tech and cumbersome, in spite of the use of plastic bottles. The Belgian professor Willem Van Cotthem seems to have designed a do-it-yourself vertical kitchen garden system that truly deserves the low-tech label.

Willem Van Cotthem is a researcher specializing in combating desertification, an occupation he describes on his other blog, "Desertification". Natural Pools or Swimming Ponds.

The aquatic plants filter out contaminants and use nutrients from the water as food which helps prevent algae. There are many options as to design. A gradual slope contains the plants, gravel and loamy sand, a wall keeps them separate from the swimming area. Vacuum but twice a year and tend to the plants as needed. The regeneration zone can be along the perimeter of a natural pool or a pond unto itself but connected to the swimming area. www.gartenart.co.uk Plants steel the nutrients away from algae. www.gartenart.co.uk Half regeneration area, half swimming pool. www.living-pool.eu Builders: Como hacer Adobes.
