Gets you started on hydroponics ASAP! This version is designed to be easy to assemble for folks who want to try out a windowfarm but are not quite ready to build the structure needed for larger windowfarms. This system grows three plants and costs less than $30. The basic configuration includes three bottles that act as plant holders, a bottom reservoir to capture/hold water, and tubing to move water through the system. It also utilizes a small air pump that uses water displacement to elevate the water up to the top of the system, where it can then trickle down through each plant.</p> </blockquote>http://donachy.tumblr.com/post/20074436090http://donachy.tumblr.com/post/20074436090Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:02:37 -0800<a href="http://wp.me/p1305P-uq">Arctic Spring</a>: <p><span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="http://donachyblog.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/boat-in-ice.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1887" height="352" src="http://donachyblog.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/boat-in-ice.jpg" title="Boat in Ice" width="627"/></a></span></p> <p><span class="Apple-style-span">Each Arctic day is lengthening by eight minutes, and the sun is shining with perceptible warmth as months of negative double digit cold gradually give way to highs approaching an even zero degrees Fahrenheit. Although the seas continue to be locked up tight, that is how it should be this time of year. Once the trail is broken, the village’s two whaling crews will set up their camps far out on the ice near open water, where, with boats stitched together from the skins of bearded seals at the ready, men dressed in warm, white parkas will wait and watch.</span></p>http://donachy.tumblr.com/post/20073119982http://donachy.tumblr.com/post/20073119982Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:36:30 -0800AlaskaArctic OceanArctic seasonsArctic springbowhead whalebush AlaskaChukchi Seafrozen seaInuit artInupiat whalingKenojuak AshevakphotographyPoint Hopeseal skin boatTikigaqtraveltundraugruk skin boatwhaling“By being willing to accept the consequences of being different, you can break free to do what you want.”<br/><br/> - <em>Lin Pardey, <em>Cost Conscious Cruiser</em></em>http://donachy.tumblr.com/post/20072096326http://donachy.tumblr.com/post/20072096326Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:14:00 -0800sailinglifestylefreedomliving lifebreaking free<a href="http://donachyblog.wordpress.com">Frozen Moments</a>: <p>A blog about our life - sailing, cooking, fishing, baking, adventuring - captured with eloquent words and captivating images.</p>http://donachy.tumblr.com/post/20070716280http://donachy.tumblr.com/post/20070716280Wed, 28 Mar 2012 10:41:00 -0800
