  Descrição

  We have started an eco project in the mountains of sierra de tramontana, Its a world heritage site and we have set out to rebuild the house as an eco home and restore the land to be able to grow food then live and work with nature as apposed to against it like a lot of farms. We want to start recycling as much as we can to create a self sustainable farm by reusing all of our green leftovers to create soil and food for the animals and one day we will be able to create gas to run the heating, generator, and cooking. This project is very early on so i am looking for some people who have some experience in permaculture and organic farming, this will include designing and building a watering system that runs from the 100 meter deep well into a pond where we have some fish. After that the water is taken and past through a fertigation system where the water is mixed with worm castings and other organic materials to bring the nutrients right to the root of the plants where it is needed. we also have over 150 food producing trees which helped me realize that this place is perfect but they need some work to restore them back to health.
  
  We have a large motorhome on the land for guests to stay comfortably, with a full kitchen and bathroom, as you may know that wet rooms with showers stay wet for very long so we have a separate bathroom for showering and we have already started building the next bathroom. All of our gray water has been redirected into a new area i am building which will filter the waste water and use it to create food and water the trees so we can be more eco friendly. All of our soaps are natural and we use all eco friendly detergents all around the house, so if you have any experience making any of these products we would love to learn.
  
  We live with our pug cross chihuahuas who is full of life and loves to play and we have a pug as well who loves everybody, currently we have over 30 chickens. there are many birds around in the trees and we hope that as we expand the farm we can accommodate more birds and more animals will join they are a great natural alarm in the morning

  Ajuda

  we will be creating and building new things everyday from finishing off the farm, rebuilding the grow beds all over the land to grow foods and planting new trees, in the next few months we will be working on building up the greenhouse stock by planting many new seeds ready for this year a, we have chickens that we are currently buying foor dor but hope in the future to be able to move to growing our own food for then and they can help us creating amazing compost for the new grow beds and some amazing new types off eggs
  
  as we have just started a couple of years ago we are not fully sustainable but we hope in the future we will be able to eat and feed others from our land until we have built enough beds to swap foods with others
