This still undone building in an #ecoproject in Portugal is one that I followed quite from the beginning.

And by that I mean: from collecting chestnut logs in a nearby forest, to the drilling and screwing of the roof.

Now that the #ecobuilding is done, this picture can't be shot ever again.

I'm really quite surprised at how many people actively working with the #refugees crises fail to see how the degradation of the middle-eastern #ecosystem is a root cause of the problem.
And how much of our own work is in that degradation.

And even if they see it, restoring that land is rarely considered a priority.

Wonders of life.

Once my pharmacognosy professor told me he had a secret in his office, and moved the courtain to show me his little #peyote, almost flowering. It's touching to think he had to hide his small love because it's #illegal.

Mine was flowering hard one month ago or so. Can't hide it, really, it's too beautiful.

A lighthearted article about my first designed #garden. Was not easy to wrap it up in a simple page, and I'm not a pro so don't expect anything special, but it's fun and I packed it with #pictures!

(Constructive) criticism and opinions are very welcome!

Dynamic accumulators are plant that take nutrients from down in the soil, accumulate them in the leaves and flowers and release them once they die. Wait, isn't that what all plants do? Yes.

That is why dynamic accumulators are not really a thing, even though people in #gardening and #permaculture say otherwise.

Fixed on #wikipedia !

Another hot day, another bath. It is still rough around the edges esthetically, but I'd say that ecologically is quite stable: the fishes (gambusia) are able to eat most of the mosquito's larvaes and are providing enough fertilizer for the plants to grow; papyrus, iris and lotus are giving enough oxygen to fishes, and are eating up most of their feces, keeping the water clean.

I'd like to publicly thank @freemo for this qoto.org instance. We basically have a kickass instance with unlimited characters, full-text search and more just for the two of us =D
I hope that regardless of the little activity qoto is here to stay (... is it?)

A question here: What does qoto stand for?

Ecosystem is not just massive scale things. What about the Howard Odum's jar ecosystems? Keep them well sealed and they may go on indefinitely.

Plant creates Carbohydrates from air with light, little mites eat the organic debris and release CO2, the plants reuses it to create more plant, and so on. Ecosystems always strive for abundance.

We'll see how this works out =)
