tires, and bikes, and washers, oh my!!

tomorrow I start planting in my tire garden. I drove around the city running my errands and found 9 tires in 2 days. I've cleaned them ,cut them and arranged them. Tomorrow I fill and plant them. I also found a couple of buddies who are going to help me build my pedal powered washing machine. I say 'me and my' because my family thinks i'm nutzo and is not at all into the whole permaculture/sustainability thing. I am adding on to our chicken coop. A couple of our 'bantams' turned out to be quite large. I guess thats what you get when you buy from random feed shops, eh? One is a rooster too. Shit. Its one thing to keep a goat, a pig, and three chickens illegally in the city.. but a rooster? NOT GONNA HAPPEN!! well, we'll see how things go. My neighbors mind there business for the most part. Lest see if I can get away with the greywater system frm the bathroom ;0)
