Lazy composter

When we clean the chicken coop and duck pen, rather than pile the bedding to compost before using it, I just mulch it around young fruit trees and let it compost slowly in place.

Rapture of the Photons


Here's a picture of one of our three pv systems here. This is a 2KW array composed of (12) Sharp 165 watt pv modules on the roof of our shop. The black collector on the south wall is a 20 tube Solamax solar thermal collector, which is now on the east wing of our house, preheating mom's somestic hot water.
