There is a guy doing that on a pretty large scale on the west side, Kunia if you know where that is, sort of inland from my place (on the other side of H-1)
Anyway they set it up down a gentle slope,
The water flows down past all the roots of the plants, and the pump pumps it back up the hill, solar powered, so.it is completely self-sustaining and off-grid.
The only things added are fish food and water to cover evaporation. Really cool.

Pretty neat, the guy says 100,000 gallons of water in the system, and over the last year he has not had to add any water.
Why? Rainfall! 1" of rainfall = 7500 gallons, and will overflow the sump tank.
Check it out!

I’m pretty sure this is the same company that set up the display. The literature and pictures look very familiar.
Good morning, one and all!
good morning hos
I tried to get back to sleep after I woke up to pee but I just laid there for an hour.
At least I was warm and toasty. It's getting cold (for this area).

Same here. It’s so nice to have a cool bedroom at night. I have the morning news on. They just said it’s going to be below the 70’s for the next week. And we’re getting rain on Thursday, yay!

This is the way life should be in my fantasy world. Maybe each of us can do a little bit to move in this direction?
Just a thought.
Hi Hos
Cold.
Not cool. I’m under two comforters and a fuzzy blanket. It’s cold up here and we turn down the heat at night. It’s supposed to rain up here today.

Our cool and cold is something Don would consider down right balmy.

The few times I’ve been in a snow fall I absolutely love how still and quiet it can be.

We had a bedroom door decide to rub/stick lately. Pain in the but to open and close. It's was rubbing on the top latch side.
I took the top hinge loose from the jamb and used a double thickness of a Kleenex box for a shim, using the hinge for a template. Punched three holes in the shim, for the screws, and reinstalled everything.
It's funny how sometimes you can repair something out of waste material and you're back in business.

Everything in moderation, right?
Kinda like rain.
Too little and you have drought.
Too much and you have floods, landslides... or a need to build an ark?
We sleep with our window open. Our furnace vent in our bedroom is closed. It's lovely.

That’s the temps she’s bred for I suppose. I can’t imagine how hot she must feel during your summer months. But that coat must insulate her from the heat as well as the cold.
