Shelter & Build
Raised Garden Bed
Good soil is built, not found. A frame turns concrete, rubble, or dead clay into a working bed.
Wood-Burning Cook Stove
One fire heats the room, bakes the bread, and boils the pot, the same wood doing three jobs at once.
Composter
Compost is the free engine of a garden: kitchen and garden waste in, next year's soil out. A closed bin runs hotter and faster than an open heap, and keeps the rats out.
Firewood Rack
Green wood doesn't really burn, it smoulders, wastes its heat boiling off water, and tars up your flue. This is where split logs spend a year or two drying under 20% until they finally give real heat.
Greenhouse
A greenhouse adds weeks of growing at both ends of the year. Twin-wall polycarbonate gives you that without the weight or the shatter of glass.
Hori-Hori
The hori-hori is one concave blade that digs, plants, weeds, divides and saws through roots, and a full-tang stainless one does it for decades.
