The #church forests of #Ethiopia are small, sacred #forest fragments surrounding #Ethiopian #Orthodox #Tewahedo churches, primarily located in the northern highlands.

These forests, some over 1,500 years old, serve as #biodiversity reserves and are crucial for local #ecosystems, providing #habitat for #wildlife and supporting agricultural #pollinators. They cover about 4% of the original forested area due to extensive #deforestation, with around 35,000 individual church forests remaining. There are many conservation efforts include building walls to protect these areas from grazing and agricultural encroachment.

ممنونم. Solosatoshi ارسال به ایران داره، اما فکر کنم پست ایران محموله رو ضبط کنه.

حمیدرضا توی ایران Bitaxe از کجا می‌شه تهیه کرد؟

There are 2 active google trackers in it.

I do love too.

A #root_cellar is a structure, typically underground or partially underground, used for #storing vegetables, fruits, nuts, and other foods.

It provides a cool, humid, and dark environment that helps extend the shelf life of produce by slowing down the ripening and decomposition processes.

Root cellars have been essential for centuries, especially before modern refrigeration, as they allow for the storage of #food without electricity, making them a #sustainable and reliable method for preserving harvests.

Integrated #Forest #Gardening: The Complete Guide to Polycultures and Plant Guilds in #Permaculture Systems

This book is one of the best resources to understand what a forest really is, and how you can build a food forest from scratch.

If you need a fundamental knowledege about forest gardening you should read it. We as gardeners should build systems that thrieve without any human intervention.

So far from you, and need a land to settle.

Do not know.

Dear Kate, You're great.

Unfortunately not.

Surely you must be aware about materials.

Maybe it could be replaced by natural resources to build a thermal mass.

An #Earthship is a type of #passive #solar home designed to be self-sufficient and #sustainable.

It is typically constructed using natural and recycled materials, such as earth-filled tires, aluminum cans, and glass bottles, which are often combined with natural materials like adobe and hempcrete. Earthships are built to minimize their reliance on public utilities and fossil fuels by harnessing renewable energy sources like solar and #wind_power.

Key Features of Earthships:

Materials: Primarily made from recycled materials like tires and cans, along with natural materials.

Energy Efficiency: Uses thermal mass construction to regulate indoor temperatures naturally, reducing the need for heating and cooling systems.

Renewable Energy: Powered by solar, wind, and other #renewable energy sources.

Water Harvesting: Collects and treats rainwater for household use, minimizing reliance on external #water supplies.

Sewage Management: Treats its own sewage using planter beds.

Food Production: Often includes space for growing #food, enhancing self-sufficiency.

History and Development:

Earthships were first developed in the 1970s by #Michael_Reynolds in the southwestern #United_States. Since then, they have evolved and spread globally, with notable communities in places like #Taos, #New_Mexico, and #Ironbank, #Australia.

I Do agree with you. These churches are the best examples of appreciation of soil.

Thanks a lot for boosting.

The #Persian #qanat is an ancient #irrigation system developed around 3,000 years ago in #Iran to transport water from underground aquifers to the surface through a series of gently sloping tunnels and vertical shafts.

This system allows water to flow by gravity without the need for pumping, making it efficient in arid regions. Qanats begin with a mother well at an elevated location, and the #water is channeled through tunnels to outlets in settlements or agricultural areas. They support irrigation and domestic use, contributing significantly to the development of #civilizations in arid environments.

A sun trap is a landscape feature designed to capture #solar energy while shielding from cold winds, creating a warmer #microclimate.

This can occur naturally or be intentionally crafted, often in a horseshoe shape with taller plants at the back and shorter ones at the front. Such designs allow for the cultivation of tender plants that require longer growing seasons than the surrounding area permits. Sun traps are particularly beneficial in colder climates, enhancing #gardening opportunities and plant #diversity.

All of the bullshit memes, GMs & BTC nonsense.

A #wind_catcher, also known as a #wind_tower or wind scoop, is a traditional architectural feature designed to provide #natural #ventilation and cooling in buildings, particularly in hot and arid regions like the #Middle_East and #Central_Asia.

How It Works:

Capturing Wind: Openings at the top of the tower are aligned to catch prevailing winds. The air is directed downward into the building through vertical shafts.

Pressure Differentials: Wind creates high pressure on the windward side and low pressure on the leeward side, facilitating airflow through the structure.

Stack Effect: Warm indoor air rises and exits through upper openings, while cooler, denser air enters below, enhancing ventilation.

Cooling Mechanisms: In some cases, air passes over water (e.g., #qanats) for evaporative cooling before entering the building.

Hey Guys. Please boost it. It must be broadcasted worldwide. Watch it and share it with people you know.
