RE: Come on Everyone, It's About Time We All Got Involved In The 'Earth Deeds' Contest- My Entry: Growing Food Anywhere Whilst Recycling
I did the same thing when we lived in a bus, I just had to have a garden of some sorts and there was aways lots of containers around that I could repurpose. I like your idea of the bottle tower garden - I'm all in for repurposing and gardening in what ever space you have! Thanks for sharing!
you are very welcome @porters, would love to hear about you bus living times xx
My bus living times was 30 some years ago, when my son was young and we lived in a camperized bus we called "The Buffalo" for we could buffalo our way in and out of traffic with it. We only lived in it in for a couple of summers and were fortunate to be able to stay with a friend in the winter. We worked on the racetrack (my ex-husband was a horse trainer, myself a groom - I do love horses) We were given a spot right at the racetrack and they had a daycare there which my son went to with his little friend who lived in a trailer right next door. They had a pretty good time. I've always had a garden of some sort and I was determined to have some sort of a garden while living in the bus. Collected buckets and what have you from ditches and where ever I could find them. We managed to have a few fresh greens and some tomatoes. Eventually we left the racetrack and bought ourselves some land here in the Boreal Forest. Stayed in the bus for the first summer while we were building our house. It was wonderful building then for the whole community worked together to help build each others homes with work bees and labor exchanges. I've remained in this area for over 30 years although I have lived in 5 different houses. I think after 60 years old I'm finally finished with construction. We live in a very comfortable little home which keeps us cool in the summer and warm in the winter
wow that is quite the home you have built for yourself, my eldest daughter loves horses, she would love to park up at some stables. I do love horse myself and done a 2 month trek in the mts with y girls before. I hope one day to live in the forest, xxx
It was either living in the forest or living by the ocean and the forest won out. I hope you get your wish to live in the forest. I find my mind just becomes peaceful when I return to the forest and it's great to be able to retreat from some of the craziness going on in the world.
Yeah such a good story! That reminds me we grew lettuce out of a transit van a few summers ago.
