We planted pine trees. Drier conditions are thinning out the Douglas Firs, so these little pine trees should do okay.
We have been building a cob oven. The foundation is shown first. This was one day's work filling bags with sand, filling the donut hole with rock and rubble. I'll post a detailed story on this oven later...so it will be a little hard to piece together what we did from just this.
A layer of bottles forms an insulation layer below the heating chamber. (burp!)Next we built a sand dome and covered it with a "thermal layer" of clay and sand--no straw.
Once this thermal layer dries a little we cut the door opening and scoop out the sand.
Herb spiral
Just outside our kitchen I built an herb spiral so we can fetch a few fresh herbs for breakfast without getting our slippers wet!
