Project 365

And were back from the dead...again!  Really I havent had much to blog about.

Now my first freshman year of college (back in 2009) is when I started this blog.  We were supposed to do a 365 day project as well but most of us didnt.  Now Im here again thanks to Chatterbox Forums (Hi guys!)  This time, I will post a picture a day. Forgive me for these first few days. New phone and I have yet to successfully transfer photos to anything but Facebook. And then...lost my camera.

Now 2014 is supposed to be special...because its supposed to be the year I grow up about as much as I will grow up.  I dropped my second major and will be focusing on on my one and only, computer programming. I am putting myself on a weight loss plan AND gave myself dreads.

On the first of this year, I was supposed to go on a fast.  I wasnt a weight loss fast or anything.  More of a...spiritual fast to start off the new year.  Well I will be likely starting that tomorrow.  I used stress as an excuse but no more!  Nope.  None of that this year.

My dreads arent really dreads yet.  Theyre babies.  Not locked up at all.  Even with all their fuzzies, I still like em.

Anyway... Im back!

I Wish I Was a SAHM

Or a mom or had the intent of being a stay at home wife.  Im not though which is why I had to give up.  Husband and I talked about my stress levels for a while.  Made my own laundry detergent, deodorant, household cleaners, vacuum powder...and so on.  I was doing this on top of school work and my internship. Holy crap.

I broke down and bought some Pine Sol mostly because I found that most green cleaners arent green at all! While I loved using baking soda, lets be honest.  It really is hard to rinse the fridge or the floors.  My time I used to make detergent is now spent studying and I have a little more me time.  Oh how fun life is again!  Yep we bought some detergent for the first time in almost a year.

It is nice to be able to relax when I get home.  I get to spend time with husband, play with my fur babies, and  just...you know...be me.  Now when I came onto the whole idea of having a child, I thought about buying my own diapers and the whole nine yards.  You know what?  I think I will just do a diapering service.  Besides it was never about the cost but about reusing.  When it comes time for daycare, I could always check and see if they take All In Ones

No more walking everywhere.  I need to invest in a car mostly because all the good jobs are quite a ways away.  It is going to be 101 outside Friday and its a two mile walk to my interning clinic.  Perfect example right there...oh hell naw.

Combating Food Insecurity and Protecting the Environment through Adaptive Agriculture

More than a billion people in the world today are hungry because they are poor. At the same time, climate change further threatens the food security and livelihoods of subsistence farmers.

According to the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) the world does currently produce enough food for everyone, but the challenge is in overcoming inequities caused by lack of access, poor agricultural management practices, dwindling water resources, changing weather patterns and a lack of knowledge about potential adaptive measures—all making for food insecurity among the most vulnerable populations.

Dickson Community Garden
By Kim Lester (666 ABC Canberra)
Finding space for a decent garden in Canberras inner north can be tough, so when Dickson College offered the Canberra Organic Growers Society (COGS) a patch of land to build a community garden, naturally they jumped at the opportunity.

Monica van Wensveen is the convenor of Canberras newest community garden.

You actually have quite a good relationship with Dickson College?
Last year they approached us and said would we like to asked if we would like to come into an arrangement with them for their old agriculture block. They dont teach agriculture anymore and this was an area that theyd like to see utilised by a community group.

Aquaponics Home System – Part 14: Drain
Feb 8

The water circulation system is made from PVC pipes and fittings, that are held together with glue, or PVC cement:

On the left above is a can of special PVC cleaner. It smells awful when applied so I had to open a window to keep my braincells from dying. It’s so strong that it actually dissolves a thin layer on the surface of the PVC, which helps the glue get an even better grip.

The glue bottle comes with a useful brush in the lid to make it easy to apply the glue to the PVC pipes. The glue is applied to both items before assembly:

Indoor Aquaponic System
This is an indoor aquaponics setup that I am using as a biofilter for my goldfish. I was spending around .00 each week to replace the charcoal filters and was tired of maintaining the filters, replacing water, and cleaning each week. This setup has been running for 3 months and the water has stayed clean. Once a month, I will clean the glass so people can get a clear view, but it really isn’t necessary

Aquaponics For Beginners - 5 System Considerations And Requirements

You can set up your own aquaponics system rather easily however there are some factors you need to consider and understand before you get started. The first item is selecting your location, if you have limited space then this will determine the size of your grow beds and the fish tank.

Your system placement.

The next consideration is the actual placement of your system, it is important that you are able to maintain a comfortable temperature and the light source is important for your plants but might cause issues with your fish tank because of algae.
