Garden is Progressing
Submitted by Edwin on Tue, 03/30/2010 - 13:07We have two 3'X20' beds double-dug and planted, and have started a third. We have room for perhaps 10 more beds on the upper terrace. Michael is leveling the lower terrace which will provide space for more beds later. Pictures soon to come in the April Newsletter.

Progress on Michael's Dome
Submitted by Edwin on Mon, 12/21/2009 - 16:51Here is a quick update on Michaels dome. We are about 2/3 done with the height. It will start closing in from here on so the time and materials to complete it won't be a whole lot. We have a shot at finishing before my eye operation Jan 5, but it depends on the weather.

Newsletter delayed
Submitted by Edwin on Mon, 09/14/2009 - 13:09For those of you waiting with bated breath (where did that term come from?) I want to let you know there will be a newsletter issue out soon. In the meantime here are the important developments:
- We constructed a 3rd swale after observing the blow-outs of the first two swales during gullywasher storms
- We decided to go ahead and install an expensive but reliable solar pump for the well, as we've had many challenges with our two generators, which are not currently functional.

Frankly, I'm puzzled how this could happen. Please send an email to edwin@sacredgardensanctuary.org so I can respond to you.
Thanks

Crops, ponds destroyed in quest for food safety
Submitted by Edwin on Tue, 07/14/2009 - 14:03In an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, a horrific trend unfolds. All reasonable, rational natural farming methods are being jettisoned, because of the fear of e. coli. I encourage you to read this article and consider its consequences.

An Inexpensive Water Tank for Gravity Fed Systems
Submitted by Edwin on Fri, 07/10/2009 - 13:12After experimenting with a few designs, we've come up with a water tank system using inexpensive 55 gallon plastic drums. The system can work for any number of drums in multiples of two. A manifold was constructed from pvc pipe parts and poly tubing.
Here is the setup:
