Quiet Revolution featured on TransitionVoice.com

Matthew Lynch
Upon entering Bayan Ulgii province we saw no trees until we finally arrived in Ulgii City. Locals can remember that only two generations ago, the river flats of Ulgii City, and much of the rest of the province, were covered in trees. Just like the Lorax in Dr. Suess’ fable, all were cut do...

Projects from the 2009 Summer Season

Daniel Broockmann
I bought the house in late 2008 and started a few projects, but the flurry of activity began in the spring of 2009.  We built community gardens (keyhole beds for the most part), a kiwi trellis, an herb spiral (with strawberry patches around it), and lot of other fun stuff.

Outdoor Shower and Bath

Daniel Broockmann
I got addicted to having an outdoor shower and bath when I lived down in Tucson.  So I dug a dry well, plumbed things up with hot/cold running water from the house, and freeze-proof taps so we can soak under the stars in the winter and put the water back into the gardens.

A long, cold winter and hesitant spring have finally culminated in action. Forty-odd heirloom tomato and pepper plants are on a fake-tan diet downstairs. Recycled tire-and-shower-door coldframes and pallet-based composting systems have been built and installed in the garden. Songs are being po...
