My project is to create two Sustainable Earth ships on a farm.
The first earth ship will be created using the following local materials:
- Bamboo
- Mud
- Cow Dung
- Red Earth
- Mangalore Tiles
- Grass
- Waste materials: Tires, Plastic Bottles, Glass Bottles
This will have a Cob Oven & Rocket Stove.
The 2nd earth ship will be a Geodesic Dome with the following materials:
- Bamboo
- Grass
- Mangalore Tiles
- Cow Dung
We will be making the two Indian Compost toilets. These will be external toilets away from the earth's ships.
The garden will have the following fruits grown:
- Chicco
- Mango
- Cashew
- Pineapple
- Custard Apple
- Coconut
And the following vegetables:
- Cabbage
- Pudina (Mint)
- Palak
- Green Chilli
- Tomatoes
- Gawar (cluster beans)
- Radish
- Carrot
- Potatoes
- Onions
- Brinjal (Eggplant)
Flowers:
- Rose
- Jasmine
- Marigold
