Rustic Patio

#ALittleExtraSpaceForSunnyDays

Remembered the table that we are blessed with from a bungalow's tenant? We were given 4 chairs too. Two of which the frame gave way shortly after. For safety reason. we have to bin them.

The other 2 in the picture above have torn seats' fabric, the stitches and fabric are all disintegrating too.  The frames/base however are solid. We therefore decided to tie the two chairs together, add a plank on top ( the remaining bed plank), tie them firmly to the arm rest  to form an outdoor table. Perfect work table for small jobs during sunny days


How about a little rustic bar counter look alike? Saw a discarded metal base, place a bi-folding toilet door on top and  bingo, we got what we wanted.

Our Eco Lodge

The Rational #whydothis The first step towards sustainability is really about acquiring less.  We seek to reuse as much as we can, whatever that is already onsite. Recycle and reuse required lots of planning and coordination on the planner/builder part. The person needs to really think out of the box too. It is always easier and less work to just outsource, pay someone to just bulldoze the whole place, throw away all the old,  acquire new and restart. But let’s walk the talk. Being eco friendly starts from OWN. Do the little thing right. This lodge that we have built uses at least 80% of recycled materials. Things that are brand new are mostly for structural building, due to safety concerns.  Sharing Our Thoughts These are some  up-cycling  little tricks we did. We will expand and add the details for each item Monthly.  Stay tune! #Infrastructure #lookgoodpart  #Plantingessentials #usuallyneglectedpart Tricks #1: Recycled bottles as support for gutter...

I personally witnessed my clayey orange soil  transformed to  rich dark loamy texture soil over time with right beneficial microbes introduced when I first embarked on the journey to grow food for own consumption.  Yes, it takes time as compare to instant results using chemicals but it is definitely worth the while in the long run. I struggled for the first half to one year, see lights on second year and simply love it thereafter. 10 years on, you can take anything from my plot, but not my microbes rich soil. To grow food for fun and have that occasional harvests is a great experience. Growing food with expected harvests outcome at timely manner bring planting to a total different level. To have that, so...

From Osaka, take a train to Sannomiya Station in Kobe. The journey is about 1hr. There are clear signages leading to the garden. Take the rope ride all the way up to the top station, No. 5 on map, explore and trek downwards is what typically recommended to visitors. #HerbsKiosk #AtTheTop #PrettyView Upon alighting, you will be greeted with beautiful garden of herbs kiosks as well as stunning view of the surrounding.
