The hands-on experience...
What a wonderful workshop it was! It was a beautiful venue at Maharashtra Nature Park and one could not imagine such wilderness existed in Mumbai! The workshop was on Permaculture. We had been reading on Permaculture for over a year now and it was very very exciting to hear it from the international teacher. It was great meeting so many like-minded people who were from different fields...We had scientists. MBAs, nature enthusiasts, social workers, architects and many others. Made a lot of friends and had fun exchanging ideas, learning new things and majorly becoming friends in those wonderful five days spent together! Now we can confidently put in practice, the permaculture techniques we learnt.
The wonderful IMOs and yeah, it had a fresh fragrance like beer!!!
The herb spiral built of bricks...fruits of hard labour...especially as the bricks were carried more than 50 steps up!
We made a solar water heater, a rocket stove and a solar cooker! We also had great fun learning how to make IMO's, sheet mulching and how to make a herb spiral. The herb spiral is our favourite and is the first project we will take up once the house is ready...
Our little gang making the solar water heater...
