   They can really use technology like this in Haiti to assist in reforestation.

   Due to the countries dependence on charcoal. 2% of their forests remain intact.

   The erosion of the deforested land is so bad, rainwater washes away the soils before the forests can replenish themselves.

   5 stars. That’s a novel idea. Cheers

   Any chance that Kip told you more about his garden shed made of cement mixed with compost? It sounds interesting, like easy cob walls.
   Love the videos!

   I see that a lot of the stuff you use is store brought. Even stuff like these bags.

   It would be really cool and smart if you made accompanying short vids, or text write ups, about how to do the same project with DIY ‘products.’ Just a 30 second vid of you saying to the camera, “want to save money and recycle? use burlap sacks stuffed with sand… save your yogurt cups for your nursery plants… ask a contractor about scrap wood…”

   they are filled with organic compost!

   Interesting. What’s in them? Are they plastic and will degrade in the sun, or…? How long will it last? Why were the soxx used instead of permanent stone?

   I first saw the use of this product in an episode of “This Old House”
   Looks like a fantastic product.

    These bags are also an excellent way to keep water that might have harmful things in it from filtering into streams and lakes. The bags are a natural filtration device.

    Youve done a great job in putting this channel together. Hopefully Greenstylenorth can slowly evolve into something like this for Australians interested in sustainability and biodiversity.
