So I've had to drive to the opposite end of the island this weekend to book into hotel with decent WiFi 😂🤣😂. Feels like I'm actually back in Sierra Leone BEFORE the network was upgraded out there. So Peter has had to take these trips for the 3rd time now (8hr round trip) to come to this farm to get breeder fish.... We getting twice as many this time round . First lot we got females and males. Second trip just the males.... This one both again (just in case) 🤣😂😂😂. We have insulated the breeding station and turned it into a 'hot box'. So we should get better heating in there now. We have dug the well DEEPER and shored it up even more( another precautionary measure in case the rains are delayed.... ). The filtration tanks are going to be used properly, I've made sure of it . They were completing getting them ready last night. I'll post videos once Peter gets them sent later of the finished cycle system set-up. It's all hands on deck guys....... So we have 3 different breeding sources now all from different farms around the country. We will try all 3 this time round and Betsy gets a turn as well 🙌🙌. Today is going to be a busy day so had to be reachable so I could make sure nothing is missed this time round.... LETS GOOOOO!!!!!

So this network nonsense is persisting on these islands. During the day, coverage is poor to nonexistent and then I get back to the flat and it's hit and miss with the broadband 😞😞. Bare with me guys, I'll get this nut cracked one way or another.....🤔🤔

I am back with another song to vote on the version you like best. This seems like a great community for this one, as it has Ubuntu weaved in. This one is one I put together based on some writing of my husbands . You can find his original writing here: https://www.skool.com/the-heart-song-of-creation-2544/i-would-love-to-hear-from-you Or Here: https://theheartsong.org/conscious-community-building-new-paradigm/ 🗳️Which version do you like best

So here's what you are actually helping to build guys..... 🐟 Catfish ponds + hatchery → nutrient water → gardens & duckweed/Azolla 🌱 Gardens + orchards → residues → BSF larvae + worms + animals 🪱 Worm farm → vermicompost + liquid fertiliser 🐔 Chickens | 🐐 goats | 🐖 pigs → manure → biogas digesters 🔥 Biogas → cooking + backup power 🌱 Biogas slurry + worm tea → crops + orchards 🌳 Orchards → food + feed + income 🛖 Restaurant + Retreat waste → BSF + worms + biogas ⚡ Solar + 🌬 wind → pumps, cold storage, hatchery, lighting Energy + food + fertility all feeding each other. The fish for me will start everything else off.. Whatever it is you are planning , you have got to get the homework done. Do the difficult stuff UPFRONT .. .. Have those conversations with whomever you want to serve. Decide early on what is going to make you the money to invest into your dream. I am a student of practical knowledge. Take the time to learn from the experts who are crushing it, then TRY IT OUT. 🤣😂🤣😂. Whatever your context, even if you are gushing with cash to invest... Start what I like to call 'dirty trials'... Use as little of your resources as possible but TRY IT OUT. Even the really successful farmers out there mostly all say the same thing. There's a reason they all say that... Just saying... Agro tourism is the future. I absolutely believe that. Especially if you lean on the 'organic and natural ' route we mostly came on here to learn from each other ... Just my Sunday morning reflection musings.... What's been your experience in your niche? As always, share freely guys. I love chatting all things community 😁😁
