The Process of Building On a Mountain

The first stage, mixing the cement, which is so much easier with a machine!

The second step is to fill buckets and walk them up the mountain side.

Once on location, I place the stones and pour the concrete into the form.


Here is the end of a days work. Total cost was only 20 euros for materials. Everything else was just laying around and needed to be placed correctly.
Above the wall is the compost bin, waiting to be dumped into its new home!

New Spring Garden

I built several poly tunnels using recycled greenhouse plastic. Locating them on the sunniest portion of our property has allowed a great head start on our tomatos, peppers and squash.


This is a bit of jungle that I converted to a garden. The fence is for wind and chicken protection.
