The present paradigm of intensive crop production cannot meet the challenges of the new millenium

Blog stats


For a month I had a different template for the blog that was a little flashier and all of a sudden I had almost ten times as many clicks, now I changed it back to the old format and the statistics have returned to normal. But there were not ten times as many people looking at the blog, but the template generates more clicks, handy if you want to earn money through advertisments I suppose (because you get payed according to the traffic you generate on your blog).

The russian web site listed under traffic sources (domar) is what I learned a referrer spam. They do this with hundreds or thousands of blogs (with bots) to show up as a link in the stats and thus improve the search engine ranking with thousands of blogs linking to their site.

Bring on the dirt

Now we filled in the walls with straw bales, we cover the outside with a layer of clay and soil to protect and insulate the straw.

folding the crane

Luckily Alix has a friend who's job it is to install cranes. He helped us to install ours and now helped us to fold it again since we don't need it anymore for this building and had to move to do more earthwork.

Erratum


Anders als im Mai geschrieben, hat nicht mein Vater alleine den neuen Tunnel aufgebaut sondern meine Eltern zusammen. Hier der Beweis.

Tunnel wird winterfest


Gleichzeitig hat auch der neue Tunnel seine Türen erhalten.

Haus wird winterfest




Mein Papa hat von seinen Glasererfahrungen Gebrauch gemacht und eine neue Haustür eingesetzt (eine gebrauchte Tür, die wir im Internet gefunden haben) und ein zweites Fenster vor ein Einfachglasfenster gesetzt.
