Much of what we do in sustainable land management and permaculture design revolves around repairing the damage that humanity has done. How and where we are able to do so is a very important thing to consider and to talk about as we aim to move forwards into a more eco-friendly and sustainable future.
Refurbish, Restore

Ryan and I were on holiday in Devon last week (yes, we did have lovely weather, thank you!). One of the places we like to go when we’re in the West Country is the little set of shops that used to be the Dartington cider centre. It’s usually relatively quiet, the shops are a bit quirky, and you get a nice lunch there. Last year a new addition was The Restore, a branch of a Devon-wide network of ‘remakeries’, social enterprise projects sharing skills to allow people to refurbish, restore and recycle, and reduce the amount of ‘stuff’ we send off to landfill.
This year they had a small number of artistically refurbished garden tools, and Ryan bought me a new hand fork.
It’s sturdy and cheerful, and I think it will have a long and happy life in the garden

Refurbished/Recycled Trampoline Swing!
«Galley Kitchen Walls 28 years of Blah» was our previous project here on Hometalk. We just finished putting together my outdoor Swing! I have been planning this for a while. It took some coaxing but Brad came around. So for just under approx $190.00 we made it happen. We did ask friends for help. Louis decided that pizza was payment enough to assist us. The steel Bracket that sells on the internet for $600 we got for free thru great friends. Without Leslie & Mark Detlefsen (welder) & Louis it would not have happened. I rated this «medium» difficulty because of the heavy lifting in the Florida heat. You can also use Swing Set brackets that accommodate 4x4 beams at the big box stores or from Amazon.
