This blog will primarily be a collection of links to interesting solutions to problems that I face from time to time. It will also be a dumping ground of cool shit seen in the wild that I find inspiring in some way. It may also serve to document examples of my own work or musings.
A friend of mine is renting a place on a small piece of land that has allowed for the experimentation of gardening the last two season. water is harvested via barrels under the gutters and the square-foot and container gardening is going pretty well, yet there is always room for improvement so I was excited to stumble across the following from one of my favorite places of inspiration, the Instructables website. A collection of many things DIY.
A link from my inbox led me to the following instructable
The author of the instructable has a page that also documents the process here essentially the same information provided as a redundant resource.
Inspiration for the idea came from the website and work of Colin Austin who developed the concept. Website is a compendium of information about water management and carbon sequestration.
A site with easy navigation and a nice overview of the subject is easygrowvegetables.
I think that it might be a good idea to test out this Idea with the easy grow box Inexpensive proof of concept.
Turn a room into a speaker cabinet (Instructables of course) while learning a little about acoustics and simple crossover circuitry. I doubt that I will get around to making one of these, but I can see constructing some speaker cabinets in the future.
