projects

Today is Monday, 9/11/2017.  I took a PTO day today to finish up some home projects with the Taoster.  I usually take a little time off in September anyway, but I try to be productive.

We painting James' bedroom blue, Dodger blue in the closet and painted the room baby blue. We also vacuumed out all the dust and cleaned everything.  Hopefully he will agree to part with some of his garbage toys.

Here is a before with the peach colored walls...




Here's the after...






We also worked in the yard.  We got three more trees, to bring the total to 33 (not including the non-productive olive tree on the county strip.  We're hopeful we'll be able to take care of all them with the greywater system, which we expect will be permitted and installed by January or Feb 2018.

Here is the papaya in the front yard....

and in the back yard a moringa...





and mango..,




We have a new composting system too. That's the container you see. I put in mulch, food trash, coffee grounds, weeds, and then cover with mulch, and then water.   It composts and also drips out compost tea close to the trees.  Let's see if that helps them to grow big and strong.

There is so much waste in the business as usual system.  My goal is to be as efficient as possible, and we'll see if there's a payoff in the form of fruit and a beautiful yard.
