all want a change. We fought states, political, nations and global organizations for a better world. But sometimes you forget the main thing. Something as simple as caring for himself and the environment in which we live. It really all starts with you. You are responsible for your life and your actions. If your life philosophy is practiced at home, these acts can generate a significant change which never imagined. Think about it, how many people pass by your house for a month and realize how you live?
Maybe it's the feeling of not having enough knowledge that makes people not working to have a greener home. But that's not an excuse.
Quilpue In the center of lives Pablo Lopez, a mechanic of 73 years, some time ago that growing worms on the bottom of his garage. He is a living evidence that it is not difficult to create a green change from home, but have little knowledge.
Anyone with a yard can generate worms, Paul says enthusiastically.
- My idea is that people do what I do, continued Paul.
- should do, is a must do, because everything in the house vote goes to waste and that is can be recycled to improve our land.
worms found in some boxes behind an old Ford without wheels. The place has plenty of shade and that's important, says Paul.
- Whatever is killing sun.
- The worm eats everything that is alive. The Wuan for example, dog hair, I do not vote or dog hair! I give all that is the vegetables, all household waste, they give to the worms.
- for example you put food and Phill, and put the worm up. The worm per shot goes down. If you like the environment is going to stay, if it is not out, Paul says enthusiastically.
And what is the result of working with worms? The aim is humus, a highly nutritious soil that is practically discarding the worm. The humus acts as an organic fertilizer, and Paul tells us what the outcome of your application.
- All plants flower superb quality. Because this is an organic fertilizer, the best fertilizer there is, says Paul convinced.
What impressed me is the way of working that is Paul Lee. No experience, some mistakes at the beginning learned to cultivate their worms. Very little creativity and fear has made something beautiful and sustainable home. In the middle of compost around plants I grow. Paul explains that these potatoes.
- So I plant things, grow potatoes because the potatoes grow so fast and here I bring something different to see how it .
If anyone is encouraged to cultivate worms at home Paul tells us the cost of worms.
- Quoting out there asking 5000 pesos for a pot of red worms and California is the best.
When we know how to make humus, need to use it somewhere. Is there a person with a home garden? A few blocks up the hill lives Quilpue M. José Albanez, a young girl with many creative ideas. M. Joseph tells us that she is a member of the National Institute of Permaculture of Chile, the Aconcagua bioregion. What is permaculture and has to do with it?
- Permaculture is not a word much used or heard, is basically a form of design that makes our live more sustainable. Things to be of conscience and a permanent culture.
M. At home Joseph did not have much land to cultivate, but thanks to his knowledge of permaculture and creativity, nothing is impossible. Eg Tetra Pak boxes reused as planters, which hangs in the air and takes up no space, said M. Joseph with a smile.
- When you have a little space can be grown in Tetra packs or plastic bottles. Lettuce, spinach or chard, because root does not generate much. So is grab a bottle, wash it thoroughly, make a hole and fill with a mixture of land. If the soil is not good, you can put a little compost, composted horse poop. And you can be perfectly at home gardening, orchard Aerio. And space is limited, you can go on a stick, go staggering different bottles or Tetra Pack and there you have your cibulete or basil, and the food is much richer.
and creativity M. Joseph does not stop at the house. Plants growing in his yard on all sides, in an old asadora organic tomatoes are now at the bottom of the yard shows a spiral of green bricks. How do they work?
- The spiral is made of green bricks, which are basically PEP bottles, disposable, filled with all plastics, noodles, cookies, plastic bags when you go to the fair. It tightened and compacted very well, and is a stumbling block, a little heavy, and that deals in construction. As the typical brick takes, but one is reusing, recycling and reducing material.
- And that is glued with cement, a mixture of clay, earth and sand. And that is treading water and handles. After mounting the brick, and we lined for it to have more aesthetic. And he had a spiral shape.
The spiral not only has great aesthetic value but also very efficient for its size and shape. Is an example of cultivation in a limited space.
- The idea that it is spiral is in a small space, in this case a meter, you have many numbers of species, they need different conditions. Because you have a place with more sun, another darker, more root and another one with less, and in this space can have a rosemary, an oregano, a mint, a basil, a screw, a cibulete. All in a small space. Because the features you helps you make the spiral!
Next to the spiral has his beloved compost. But for someone with no outdoor space is also possible to do indoors. It is much easier and reduces waste. Besides giving you good soil for your plants! How come?
- can be done on a drum, a wooden box or on a pyre. At home I have a stake. Put under some branches, that have aeration put up these branches green material, when cut into grass, gardening. Then we take dry material, soil and manure. And making a cake go up! Until you reach a height goes down over time. It will be breaking things, and will go from being a shell to be composted. A land that later will take for your lettuce in your Tetra Pack.
You can have all sorts of organic material less oils, bones and meat. Because these materials are not going to be a disintegration but a putrefaction, and will not operate the compost, end M. Joseph.
M. Joseph mentioned the great importance of these types of things not only for you and your family, but to influence your whole social environment. The act of moving to the country by example and sealed in an organic world often does not create more awareness among people. Instead, start growing in the city where many people live, and usually has little experience and knowledge, is an act much more efficient to generate a change in the daily lives of people.
- I am superindependiente, not consumption. I can go to the fair to buy, but not because I have chemicals, so I make my garden at home and lock myself in my world. Organic, natural and super cute and move to the countryside. That is super comfortable. But people in the city? What about them? I think with little change in mindset to break that paradigm is much better, says M. Jose and continues:
- With the changes I make in my home, I'm making a big impact. Perhaps separating the trash only has an impact on my home. But it will come a friend, who also want to do that at home. I can also have that, and make a pizza with my oregano!
- And if it's true that one person who changes, and changes the truth and to assimilate itself-is something for life! That is going to pass on to your family, your environment, your children. Maybe going to talk to 50 people and maybe 3 are hooked. But those three are three totally different worlds where he also will deliver that message in a heart shape.
The home visit inspired me a lot. The next day I woke up eager to change my environment. Now we have a compost in the creek near the house, recycling and green bricks beautiful plants in the pots of Tetra Pack. Thanks M. Joseph!
Your garden is your best pantry, she says the partner Daniela in the act of preparing the land of his home. And who does not agree with it?
