Heróis Urbanos

See in HD at VIMEO

So much has happened in the last few months.

One of those things, it's a project wich I'm working on, with a group of friends.
Heróis Urbanos (temporary name) is a work in progress of a social network that may help people work toghether as volunteers.

We are devoloping, from scratch, a system that will simplify the information, make the connection between volunteers and entities simple and effective.
The result: more work done and, step by by step, moving towards a better social coexistance.

Farm upgrade

Today I planted some seeds on the land.
It was Turnip (Nabos), ? ( Nabiças ), Leek (Alho Francês), Tomatoes and Courgettes. I also have some carrots planted on a box.
As soon as I can I will plant some more varieties.

I also have some new pictures from last week.

I've made two more beds..


And I've made a compost bin and a vermicompost one ( aka worm farm )
There are some pictures of how I cutted the cardboard and plants. It's not the most practical way...










The Vermicompost bin:
