Rewewable House Progress

There has been considerable progress on the renewable energy house. Here are some pictures.



This is the front of the house. The front wall and rafters are in.



This view is from the west. It shows the west wall framing done. The white bucket peeking from the doorway is covering the new well.

Garden is growing! Harvest is started!

Spring has sprung and the garden is growing quickly. Almost all planting is done. Some harvesting has started. Artichokes, onions, strawberries and a variety of greens and herbs are being harvested now.

The renewable energy house is well underway and the solar power and garden lights are working well. There is a black kale experiment that is going well.

A new hand drilled well has been installed for irrigation. Here is the link for the details and instructions. This gives enough water to water all the garden. Summer tea is being processed. Blackberry, strawberry, huckleberry and red clover blossom teas are drying in the drying room now.

Grass and weeds are hard to keep up with now, but they will slow down as the weather dries up for the summer.

An earth battery experiment is on-going. When the results are in, it will be posted on the website, Winter Lake Research Center.

The greenhouse plastic has had it for the year. It has been on all winter and the winter winds finally destroyed it. Time to put new on.
