What Free Is Adoult Said

round bamboo fever

Before:

After:

lie between three days of hard work. The plant in the background, which is Lirio Breixo Thurs. A spur plant with huge rhizomes, propel funny new Pflänzlein right, even if only a fraction of the rhizome remains lie. So it means first of all, cut and plant compost pile somewhere on the hill. Then, the Alessandro comes with a hoe and chop out the roots, we also carry away. It is quite a tough job that has caused some blisters. After five days we have it but already managed to prepare the area for the little hut, dig four foundation points and with stones and sand to fix. Absence of two foundation points. The bricks with which we will make the point foundation, we have already brought to the site. Four trips to the "Hardware-Winzladen" because the supply just could not. Until we brick, cement, lime and sand were finally on site, several kilometers were completed - not only by car but on foot. From the street there are about 500 - 600 meter mud track does not match up to our property and in the wheelbarrow as much pure stuff. The new wheelbarrow has now also been demolished. Tomorrow I will try first to get spare parts, screws and nuts. Then we need a little more sand, so that we can support the foundation. Thereafter, the timber is ordered. One after the other.


between, we have again just helped a Japanese woman to build a kind of tent made of bamboo scaffolding. As will meet next weekend a few hundred Japanese. They celebrate 100 years of emigration to Brazil. At the end of the 19th Century, slavery in Brazil finally officially (the last country in the world ..) was abolished, the plantation owners were absent workers. So they have some recruited abroad, in Japan, Italy, and even in Germany. The poor, they thought, they are given a piece of land on which they can build their future. However they ended up in sweatshops that dealt not just friendly with them. Gradually, the "new" but by, were put to work or fled the country and took what had been promised. German settlements, settlements, Italian and even Japanese were also settlements. Where the Japanese settlement began, a Japanese family living with a woman named Marcia. I know they recently learned. Someone had told me that they grow bamboo. So I had been searching and I found it. Huge bamboo clumps are on their property. They use the bamboo but only sporadically to win sprouts and sometimes to sell a few bamboo poles. The rods have a diameter of almost 20 centimeters. Gigantic beautiful. Marcia had invited me immediately to help her and her friends in the construction of the roof structure. That I could not turn down, I could then at least a little bit to learn. Unfortunately, the friend who should understand something of bamboo, has been found to be complete Bambuslaie. Who knew a little more, was the 83-year-old father of Marcia, who together with us the heads up and down climbed 25 meters long and harvested several pounds heavy bamboo sticks with us and transport and has an enviable strength and endurance of the day presented. The tent frame is and is quite einkrachsicher, even if we used instead of right connections only wire to secure the poles. The bamboo we have not treated not harvested during a waning moon and not even in the dry season, we still have to dry himself. This means that he will have such a short shelf life. Marcia says he does not hold because it is degraded after the event, the tent again. Then they will give me the bars. So that we can ever build a sort of open shed. I am the bars but still dry all the connections and modify. A foundation is thus laid already. Also tomorrow we will have to pick up the rest of bamboo, a few younger, not so thick bamboo poles and slats, which we used, are collected in exuberance of zeal, however. The first foundation is laid.


The second foundation is already laid. The yellow ribs up there, are the seeds of Guadua chacoensis, a native bamboo species. I bought the bamboo group on the web. Hopefully go on a few of the seeds. Following are three to four weeks, the first offspring show, it says in the description. I look every few hours even if they do not but are faster ...
