Watering Detroit's food desert

One of the feeding the city series of articles, this one focuses on Detroit. This is the city where journalist Jerry White reported last year that the once proud Motor City where working class living standards were accelerated now has more than 40,000 vacant lots, numerous abandoned neighbourhoods and three times the poverty rate of the average American city. It's also the… Continue

I've been thinking...there are a lot of us on ooooby now which means we must have some buying power....

I imagine that many of us aim for similar things. Say water harvesting

and recycling for example. I would like to harvest some of this rain we

are having here in Auckland for my summer watering and I really like

this range of corrugated iron tanks from Tanks Alot.

They have plastic ones too and are slim enough for those of use living on smaller sites.

I also really like the idea… Continue

Yeah I live in a tram on esplanade road. Yeah the prices are a bit vague on the site something we are fixing soon. Sorry Denise the smallest is 5.7 m diameter. But There seems to be a fair bit of interest in smaller domes. Perhaps we may look at making smaller say 3.5 m dia domes dunno.

The 5.7 = $6595 But we can always talk turkey as they say. I am also currently looking to find commissioned sales people to sell the domes perhaps you might be interested ? Thanks for the welcome Denise

At 2:31pm on July 27, 2010, Liz said…: Hi Denise, Sorry about the delay in getting back to you regarding the cheese. I'm not really in the market for your offerings but would be more than happy to swap for your local LETS currency. Are you a member of any. Not sure if OOOBY has a currency in it or not. Price would be around 15units per 250gms cheese and cash for postage or courier.

Been there ever since and now doing alternative therapies for clients in the movie industry amongst others. Makes for interesting conversation over a wine :)
My experience is in BD/organic orcharding (avo, citrus) with a DipHort to keep me honest though presently growing an eco based online business www.HarmLessSolutions.co.nz Flick me a surname that Jill will recognise via our website contact page if you want. Cheers, Tony

At 1:57pm on July 21, 2010, Tony said…: Hi Denise, Another Naki person of long family links to the area :) We're on Egmont Road but I'm originally from the other end of NP. Bell Block has had a major rearrangement with the recent roading development so now is more of a quiet village than it was. You're right about the family connection and Jill is in London these days, when she's not out on location for a client. Cheers, Tony

At 10:34am on May 29, 2010, Kev W said…: hello again, sorry about the delayed response...hell of a week. got some quinces for you and found a couple of pheasant breasts in the freezer if you want to have a play around with them. they are kind of small but they would be a good sample and hopefully next week I should be getting a heap of birds if you wanted more. can pop over this weekend sometime if that suits

At 6:41am on May 28, 2010, Jenny Freewalker said…: Hi Denise, looks as though you have been really busy since we were last in contact. we seem to have run out of steam with the bees. l would still love to have a hive but after going into it more there seems to be quite a bit of work involved - more than l anticipated and having to go somewhere to check it is more than l can manage at the moment. My garden is now about 3/4 bottled and is looking good. l would love to catch up some time. take care,
