The plans

The initial planning and ideas have been created with the help of Christopher Shanks, who has a sustainable living project on Ometepe island (www.projectbonafide.com). Our aim is to create links with as many people and organizations as possible to share information as we progress. Some of our plans include the creation of an organic garden in the back of our house located across the street from the hostel. We have also started work on a Greywater site where we will use the water running from the sinks to grow fruits such as bananas and mandarin. As you can see from the photos, work has also begun on our worm compost site. In the coming week we will be collecting the worms and receiving our first set of fruit trees for the hostel.I will also be heading out to Jinotepe to collect our first set of water filters, check out www.pottersforpeace.org for more info on the water filter system we will be using. until next time....
