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.
... the delivery system. It's possible to screw the tops of the sprinklers up or down to increse or decrease coverage. Overkill perhaps, but Thad, my Florida-born sprinkler expert, was flexing his muscles. Thad married a girl from Oxford, just down the road from our place and he's having a lovely time helpign with the watering system for the entire 6 acre property. we have a hose too.
