Here it is -- the first "Growing Spaces" dome in the southern hemisphere! WE live on six acres just 20 mionutes north of Christchurch, New Zealand, and we have been increasingly alarmed at what's in our food. We decided we weren't going to dance to that tune any more. So I did the homework and, for me, the dome is the best. So after lots of talk and emails, here it is. This site will tell the story of its growth and its part in our lives. At the time of writing, April '08, there's still a lot to be done, like the water tank and we don't have the floor finished yet. But it's extraordinary. I am watching climbing beans grow up the wall four inches a day. Amazing.
we were very lucky. The inventor of the system, Udgar Parsonsand his wife, a delightful, gentle lady called Puja, were planning to visit the South Island of New Zealand just about the time we were building our 26 Ft dome. they arrived just in time to help my "team" with much advice about the pre-assembly. We met them at Christchurch airport and they spend a "shakedown" night with us in their little van.
