Building Compost Bins

Our current system of compost building is a quick and free option for getting caught up on a late season.

First we recycle pallets and tye them together to form bins with excellent aeration, 1 cubic meter of filling space and easily dismantled for turning.
There is no cutting of materials in order to build the compost bins, a big time saver.



Second we collect horse and cow manure, also in abundance and free to the willing collector.



By alternating layers of leaves with our manure, we generate a hot comost within three days.

Brave New Immigrants

Three family members have made the plunge and adopted our windy little island as home.
We are thrilled to invite Merlin, Patricia and Julian to Flores!

The first order of business was to get them outfitted with rubber boots, in order to traverse the knee deep mud of spring time.

Here Magnus´ little brother helps plant his first fruit tree.
The locals are getting flashbacks with this little dread-locked blond boy, reminding them of when Magnus arrived 15 years ago with his dreadlocks and the promise to return one day to rebuild the family fruit farm.
