The tower consists of a bamboo frame supporting a mesh polyester material inside. Rain, fog and dew condenses against the mesh and trickles down a funnel into a reservoir at the base of the structure. A fabric canopy shades the lower sections of the tower to prevent the collected water from evaporating. "Warka Water is currently represented by a tower that reaches up to the sky to collect moisture from the air and brings it down by gravity to the people," Vittori says. The performance of the towers varies depending on the weather, but Vittori's aim is to create a structure that would enable the community to extract up to 100 litres of water a day without the reservoir running dry.

Summer Pruning for Young Fruit Trees 68,590 viewsSep 10, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SnbCft5_44 Urban Farmstead (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBZ3Cy7qR5oLtAoA3Eaa6RQ) 110K subscribers In this video I'll show you how I prune my fruit trees during the first summer after planting. These are all two year old trees and this first summer pruning is necessary for size control and structure creation specific to backyard orchards with a wide variety of trees in a small space. Ideally I would have pruned these trees in July, but due to a busy fire season in my job as a California firefighter, August was the earliest opportunity I had to summer prune these trees. After pruning I painted newly exposed branches with IV Organics for sun protection. Subscribe to see how I create and maintain this new backyard orchard.

7 reasons why shipping container homes are a SCAM 8,289,317 viewsApr 8, 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7yEDz6bCfU Belinda Carr (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_NzYRcT5IroUsMU2472ViQ) 167K subscribers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjbgduaH_7U Check out my latest follow-up video to this one where I elaborate on some of the points and address some comments Shipping container homes are glamorized all over social media but are they everything they are marketed as? In this video, I uncover 7 reasons why you should stay away from shipping container homes. Since the early 2000s, shipping containers have captured the imagination of designers and home builders worldwide. They fit in with the very popular tiny house movement that advocates living simpler and in smaller homes. The corrugated metal exterior of shipping containers gives it a trendy, industrial look. Thousands of shipping containers are discarded every year. So, there is a sense of being socially responsible and environmentally conscious when one rescues a shipping container from a junk yard and converts it into a home. First issue: the size constraints. Standard shipping containers are 20 feet and 40 feet long and 8 feet wide. Most of these containers are 8.5 feet tall but you can order custom ones that are 9.5 feet tall. Second issue: A metal container works as a system, the idea that every part of this box is structural is false. Every single cut that you make for plumbing, windows, doors, roof openings into its structural frame or corrugated metal siding compromises its strength so you have to reinforce it with metal or wood. Third issue: the thermal conductivity of steel. It’s not a good insulator, so you can expect the inside of these containers to get very hot in summer and very cold in winter. Fourth issue: the health risks that come with buying old shipping containers. You can track the locations that the container has been to around the world, but you can’t track exactly what it has carried. It could have carried toxic chemicals such as pesticides or fumigants and the contents might have leaked into the wooden floorboards. Fifth issue: this type of building is not the best for all locations. It might make sense in coastal regions near port cities where a container is readily available. If you are inland, the cost to transport it all the way to your plot of land is not logical. Also, building with native materials is the most eco-friendly and cost-effective method. Sixth issue: the idea that you are saving the environment when you use shipping containers and that is a highly sustainable practice. Another important thing to consider is the carbon footprint of your container home. Steel construction is not as environmentally friendly as wood. Seventh issue: the idea that shipping containers can be the solution to the housing crisis in the world but, this crisis is not a technology problem, it’s far more complex. Purely from a financial aspect, it would be cheaper to build a homeless shelter with wood than build a complex shipping container building. This type of building can maybe be 20% cheaper, not more. The modifications that you need to make a metal box livable aren’t cheap. ------------------------------------------------- CRG Envisions Shipping Container Skyscraper https://www.archdaily.com/772229/crg-unveils-shipping-container-skyscraper-concept-for-mumbai Building a Shipping Container Home | EP01Permits and Foundation Design https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA5fh29rhLs&t=136s Building a Shipping Container Home | EP02 Moving, Cutting, and Framing a Container House https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sauEsj8YW9M&t=1140s Building a Shipping Container Home | EP03 Doors, Windows, and Insulation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlHXMrXt_0U&t=734s 20ft Shipping Container Home Built for Under $15k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv4hk8cPasg&t=782s Architectural Container Homes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MfqKv0eNlk Incredible Shipping Container Home By The Sea Is A Small Space Marvel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD9gSM2c-JY&t=53s Shipping Container Animation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcUenPf0tIg&t=207s 3 x 20ft Shipping Containers Turn Into Amazing Compact Home https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTa9cqioRDY&t=12s Spectacular 40ft Small Shipping Container Home https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slsJmN2AdXY&t=605s The Making of a 20' Container Office – BigSteelBox https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-nIqQ2t6lI What size Shipping Containers can you purchase? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQHasoytno0 Finally by Loxbeats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGquX0Te1Yo Boost by Joakim Karud: http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud Music promoted by Audio Library: https://youtu.be/6z227WiJeJM -------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This video was created for educational/informational purposes and qualifies as Fair Use.

Sunken greenhouse wraps home & feeds suburban antifragile co-op 947,397 viewsMar 8, 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jbLZxwWudk Kirsten Dirksen 1.59M subscribers When Richard Weaver inherited 3 acres in the center of a golf-oriented community developed by his father in Bozeman, Montana, he bucked family tradition and tore out the grass to create a self-sufficient urban farm and underground greenhouse home. He turned his father’s RV garage into an off-grid home relying on photovoltaics, rainwater and composting toilet. Attached to the home, he built a half-buried (6-feet-under) greenhouse (walipini) to use the earth’s heat to grow figs and fruits during the long Montana winters. On the land surrounding the home, garden members (open to all) farm using permaculture techniques like planting in guilds- layers of plants that support each other- to cut down on labor requirements. It’s a communal, not community, garden so instead of individual plots, garden members share the work and the crop (making it easy to take vacations or time off). Weaver believes their farm could serve as a model for others. “When NYC hit 1 million people in the mid-1800s all of their food was grown within seven miles. We have a much more severe climate than New York, but I would say we could grow a lot of our food for 100,000 people in the valley if we had these. I did a calculation once that if we had one thousand 2000-square-foot greenhouses we could produce a substantial amount of our fruit without having to truck it in. But you’d need a thousand of them so we’d need a completely different economic model than we currently have.” Beyond the benefits of fresh, local produce, the garden also builds community, or what Weaver calls a bonded tribe. “A bonded tribe being a group of people doing something to make a living together, in this case we’re growing food together, and doing that bonds people in a way that say getting together and watching football on a couch doesn’t bond people very well.” On *faircompanies https://faircompanies.com/videos/mt-polyfarm-underground-lodge-make-suburban-coop-self-reliant/
