Dear Robin,
Thanks for your response.Great that you are involved in food garden projects.Recently a great impetus has been given by our government to grow our vegetables from roof top gardens.
I’ll check-out the Permaculture magazine.
Regards,
Geetha

Hey Geetha

Good to hear from you – I am afraid that I left the house which i installed this system in and the new people have not maintained it.

I am not really able to comment on how successful it was – after learning about growing food whilst making this blog, I got offered funding to help set up food growing projects on local housing estates and that changed my focus from my back garden to more public spaces.

Sorry to not be of more use – I have definately seen a good article about this in Permaculture magazine and they have just put all of their back issues online for free so hopefully you can find it

Best wishes

Robin

Seems like a workable and good idea.
How did the system take care of the surge?
I am planning to install water purification on our farm house to take care of reusing it
How is your system functioning now?
I am writing from India.

Hi,
nice use of old vegetable oil cans! I do have the same question as paulina – how did you get the tops off?

I really like your use of the discarded vegetable oil cans as planters, but how did you manage to get the tops off them? I tried to do the same to one of them but was defeated by a lack of tools up to the job… Also, loved the street gardening on Farleigh Road! Have my eye on a derelict patch on my street (round the corner from you) that I might subject to similar treatment…
