3000l of rainwater harvesting for our toilets - catches all the water from all the roof area on our new workshop.

During lock down, we have been planting a mixture of native British trees and shrubs. We ordered a mixture of over 90 plants from the Woodland Trust, including English Oaks, Crab Apples, Alders, Blackthorns, Mapel, Hazel and WIld Cherry, and have placed them around the borders of our land. We hope that these will benefit the wildlife, soil and also our wellbeing; plus ofcourse the environment.

Air-source heat-pump heating our bathrooms and storeroom - it's 440% efficient!!!

2x 20 48mm evacuated tubes for hot water - all hot water used in our bathrooms comes from just the sun!!

Our latest addition is grid-tied battery storage - expanded again to 2x 6.5kWh = 13kWh to be exact - further cutting our carbon footprint and reliance on external power production.
