| This "community style settlement" would ensure that you could: |
| • live out your life in your own home, comfortable in your environment; • each cottage will supply solar heating and energy for its owners; • 19 homes on-site; • Each home to cost about $300 000; • owner of each cottage rosters themselves on weekly to ensure efficient functioning (this could avoid expensive body corporate fees); • tend to vegetables, fruit trees, chooks (for eggs); • water tanks; • seasonal fishlings; • self-fulfilling, affordable and sustainably thriving. The fish (and bacteria) and plants help each other out and thrive together. With aquaponics, fish grow and live in a tank until they are ready to be harvested. As the fish grow they produce waste. The waste is in the form of ammonia. The way this works is that: |
- The ‘waste’ water is pumped to a ‘grow bed’ — a container filled with rocks or other medium. Plants and vegetables are planted in to the grow beds. |
