Chuckleberry Project List Summer/Fall 2013

As well as extensive organic biodynamic gardening this season at Chuckleberry, we will be:

1) Growing Medicinal Mushrooms such as Reishi, oyster, shitake and integrating mycelium networks into our gardens

2) Building LED grow lights that will quadruple our growing capacity for the greenhouse during the lower light levels for this winter season.

3) Building a solar power food dehydrator that utilises the warm exhaust air from the Annualized Geo solar heating system of our greenhouse.

4)Converting our front bank into a machu picchu style terraced berrybush utopia including Goji Berry, Sea Buck

4) Setting up a Solar heated Hydrogen Peroxide hot tub with a world class view from the porch roof of our greenhouse.

5) Setting up our Bokashi composting system which will turn kitchen compost into rich soil in 20 days!

6) Converting our manually operated 3 tier Barrel composter into an automatic solar driven composter that turns organic matter into pristine soil in less that a week. 

7) Completing our Solar powered DC Fridge which utilizes the warm exaust air to power a dehydrator directly above the fridge for optimal utilization of energy.

8) Preserving, caning and drying the bounty of our gardens including pesto, salsa, sour kraut, kimchi, water kiefer, milk keifer, and more for our winter cupboard.
