A NEWHAVEN ODESSEY



While we wait for our draghtsman to finish the preliminary house drawings ("early this week"),
I volunteered to hangout at the Yr 9 Environmental Center (Newhaven College, where Leesh is working).

Leesh and another work colleague are in the process of collaborating with the students to develop a permaculture design with the intention of integrating chooks, veges, food forest, native edibles, and poly tunnel into a working permaculture system.

While this is under way I'm helping out where ever I can, and this week we got into fixing the horribly abused and disused chaos of the compost area. It still needs some love but at least now we have one working bin with a nice hot compost brewing away.

Leesh will enlist some students to turn this once a week and to monitor the heat, who knows it might even make a nice science project?.


Left Bin: One hot compost!
