things you've made
Like all great projects, over time and over budget ... 450m of 'T'-bar metal, 3,250+ screws, 750+ nuts-bolts-washers, c.5,000 holes drilled in various bits of metal and wood, 45 planks of wood cut into 1,000 pieces of wood to make 330 triangular windows, 150 sq metres of polycarbonate for the windows, burnt out 70 angle-grinder discs, several drills, used up 25 tubes of silicon window sealant ... plus 700 hours work
... finished just in time for NaPo 2023

What are you planning to plant in it?
Here’s another tarot bag I made…I really love this one!
Really nice colours there - and some complex crocheting I guess.
The dome-greenhouse ... planning to plant avacado trees, maracujas, sweet potatoes ... so far ... but busy pruning olive trees currently while the moon is waning. I can't wait another month.

I’ve never heard of maracujas, what are they?

Two avocado trees, lemon-grass for tea, cardomon for coffee, passion-fruit ... no doubt more as it develops. Oh yes, sweet potatoes. Veronika & I will plant the avocado trees tomorrow. Outside the dome along the 27m pergola there are also 14 beds as the basis of "syntropic agriculture", a new experiment.

Me giving a talk in the dome to about 25 people (keen gardeners of "Beira Grass-Roots") on 2nd March.
In response to the question Why did I build it? I recited Mary Oliver's 'The Journey' ("one day you finally knew what you had to do, and began ..." )
