    They can really use technology like this in Haiti to ist in reforestation.

    Due to the countries dependence on charcoal. 2% of their forests remain intact.

    The erosion of the deforested land is so bad, rainwater washes away the soils before the forests can replenish themselves.

    Any chance that Kip told you more about his garden shed made of cement mixed with compost? It sounds interesting, like easy cob walls.

    I see that a lot of the stuff you use is store brought. Even stuff like these bags.

    It would be really cool and smart if you made accompanying short vids, or text write ups, about how to do the same project with DIY ‘products.’ Just a 30 second vid of you saying to the camera, “want to save money and recycle? use burlap sacks stuffed with sand… save your yogurt cups for your nursery plants… ask a contractor about scrap wood…”

    Interesting. What’s in them? Are they plastic and will degrade in the sun, or…? How long will it last? Why were the soxx used instead of permanent stone?

    These bags are also an excellent way to keep water that might have harmful things in it from filtering into streams and lakes. The bags are a natural filtration device.
