Very successful and retains more moisture. Have collected spores and hopping to make up my own trays to cultivate.

Your best bet would be to talk to your local Council, and also get in touch with local sustainability groups to ask them if they know of any assistance programmes. Good luck!

It is not sustainable and I want to make it so. It is not insulated and I would like to insulate floors and ceilings. I am also interested in changing the large electric hot water system with solar hot water. I am a pensioner and wonder if there is any assistance to do this. thank you. LInda champine

Would be nice if you could make up a hillbilly lid for the hillbilly hot tub. That’d keep those critters out.

If I didn’t think the alga and critters would infest it I’d copy yours.

Here is a post where i build up a wormbin with terracotta bins: http://www.wurmwelten.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=806 (Sorry it is in german but there are lots of pictures)

I was inspired by this indian website which has really lovely ceramic bins for normal composting http://www.dailydump.org/

This is the stuff you can even sell your wife :-)

However the level of air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and global warming have made them essential. With the kind of technologies that are in place today, it is easy to capture solar energy efficiently. This is particular good because solar energy is clean and renewable.

]]> Comment on Residential Solar Power: Is The Income Taxable? by Clement Kuzia http://green-change.com/2010/05/14/residential-solar-power-is-the-income-taxable/#comment-172037 Clement Kuzia Thu, 14 Feb 2013 00:48:49 +0000 http://green-change.com/?p=1630#comment-172037 I agree, but we all need to appreciate that adding Solar on their property is an purchase which will raise the actual valuation of their residence if / when they decide to sell. With the environment the way it is going we are unable to disregard any product or service that provides zero cost energy at no cost to both the consumer and more notably the world!

Hi Darren,

A few hot days ranging from 37-41c here in Melton. No major bushfires in our area (yet), but there is so much potential fuel just waiting for that tiny spark to set it off.

Our chooks have survived so far, changing the water often and letting them free range around the yard.

Sorry to hear about the bunnies.

Gav

Its been hot here in QLD, but not that hot, yet, I think our turn is coming in the next few days. Not looking forward to it. My strategy with the animals is to just let all the chickens free-range and they can find themselves a shady spot, I don’t mind missing out on eggs for a few days just to know that they are comfortable. We have baby chicks at the moment and only have the 25 W heat lamp for them overnight, as the day time temps are hot enough without any extra from the lamp! Sorry to hear about your rabbit and kits, that must have been very sad.
