Harvesting Rainwater at Home at Transition Colorado Conference Room

August 18, 2012 from 10am to 4pm

It's dry out there, and few other issues have been as historically important in arid regions as water, and no single issue will be more important in the future; it is becoming paramount to treat water with care and skill. In this workshop we will learn the skills necessary to effectively make use of rainwater in the home landscape. The workshop will be comprehensive in the varied methods of rainwater harvesting. We will focus on water harvesting earthworks as the most effective place to catch…See More

Underground greenhouse

I found this on another site and found it intriguing, so I want to pass this along. I plan to look at build a smaller scale one this Winter assuming the group does not freeze solid. I will try and keep this updated.

Aquaponics at home

When we lived in MN, we had a friend who ran a little food store that focused on local food and she decided to setup an aquaponics setup for growing greens in her store. When we moved to Colorado, we decided to do the same at our home since we have fish. Here are the pictures of the initial setup we started on 1/25/11…

Dual flush conversion kit review

In our efforts to reduce our water consumption, we have been looking at replacing our old 1.6 gallon flush toilet with a dual flush model, but both the financial and environmental costs have been a blocking issue. On a recent trip to Home Depot to get some materials for our new herb bed, I noticed a dual flush retro-fit kit from Hydro-right and after reading about it, I decided to give it a try.

My toilet is a Mansfield brand, which is an oddity in how the seal and ballcock…

Cold frame project

Heilsa, Fellow Transitioners,

I was reading a great article in _Colorado_Gardener_ for thier harvest edition on school gardens which in and of itself is a great transition idea. They had some nice pictures of raised beds with framing, which I assume is used for either plant protection and/or climbing, which were made of pvc (yes, I know,…

At 12:00pm on March 26, 2012, Conrad Hall said…: Thanks Devin, Let me know when things come up. I'm most interested in connecting with a network of people now (instead of later) and having a communication system in place that is not grid-dependent. I have the beginnings of a HAM radio system, solar powered, but this is all new to me so if you know of anyone with HAM radio experience, that would be a good place for me to start. Thanks!!

Looking forward to meeting you Sunday or at a later date.
Thanks!

At 7:05pm on February 7, 2011, Doug Southard said…: I would be willing to do a power point on solar gardens some time early March. Sorry to have missed tonights meeting at Ziggis. I am in Phoenix all next week for training and back the 22nd. It could be a great idea to set a tent at the farmers market during the upcoming season with a powerpoint and a list of projects ( if we have any) to build interest. Just a thought. Talk to you soon.

At 7:42pm on January 3, 2011, Megan Paterson said…: Thanks Devin and all that commented! : ) It may be a year or so before we can move and perhaps we won't need to at all. We are just poking around and seeing what is out there. We are currently looking into a school that is in Arvada for our kids and if we decide to send them there then we would want to move closer.

Don, that dancing sounds GREAT! I will see if I can make it! My husband doesn't dance so I may show up by myself. If my husband does decide to come, it won't be because wants to dance! ; 0
