Hi , I am delighted that after some 8 months I am forcing myself to think more carefully about what I hope we can all gain from this project. I enjoyed being...
I left Phoenix last Sunday, all was very well if rather damp - most of the two weeks I was there were cool and wet. We had some high winds that blew the toilet...
Thanks for the comments so far, especially Jude and Johanna who have expressed what I think are the most important aspects, keep 'em coming! Summarising: -...
Thanks, Johanna, I think your comments are spot on and I've tried to summarise and amplify them in my last couple of posts here. I'll address means in the next...
Once upon a time it was about Dylan and a vision he had. I, we, owe him thanks and gratitude for his bravery in starting TUE, it has cost him dear in many...
My summary afore was very 'helicopter' and, I think, accurate in its sweep. Dylan is right to say much was achieved but I stand by my core points: -...
I have already set up a blog; the address is: http://utopiaexperiment.blogspot.com/ I know it hasn't got the name right but I did make it in August. Probably...
Hi all Having looked at the blog, it is apparent that we need a new web page. Can anyone who knows how to do these things volunteer to start this for us, in...
Happy Christmas all, As we approach the season of over eating , spare a thought for what we might grow at TUEphoenix next year. It will be helpful to have your...
Hi Last summer I made a fleeting visit to Utopia/Phoenix to drop off some homemade elderberry wine. I fully intended to return but family circumstances...
Parsnips! They are almost all gone already, we need at least twice as much next year. Mangetout and sugar snap peas, we only did 1 short row of mangetout and...
Your wine was very good (and I am fussy about wine ;-)) ) thank you. I hope the locals who are often resident (Paul, Tom, John for now, maybe Sue & Paddy) are...
I think it would certainly help if you are able to drop in from time to time, the more who can drop in the better, especially during the winter months when...
I love leafy green veg, especially lettuces and spinach, I'd suggest more spinach. Also tons of herbs, basil, oregano, parsley, cilantro if they will grow. I...
can be insulated with Reflectix, which is a kind of bubble wrap sandwiched between reflective paper, I've seen it sold on ebay. Thinsulate is an insulating...
Zeitgeist Is a two hour online movie, well worth watching: http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ After the overlong 5 minute intro collage of images the first section...
One of the benefits of a cool scottish summer is some leafy crops hold well rather than bolting to seed. It was clear that lettuce and spinach did (peas too) -...
It's 700MB, you need at least that much free disk space to view / download it. No prob for broadband users, no way on dial up (get a broadband friend to put on...
Hi Agric, I recently watched 'Zeitgeist' too and it was a bit of a scary wake up call...I know a lot of people, internationally based, who agree with what is...
I've done a brief article there summarising Dylan's exit and a little about the project now. I'll probably do further sporadic articles in future, hope those...
Found Reflectix at £80 for a 1.2m x 15.2m (48inch x 50feet) roll, that's about £4 for a square metre and at the low end of things I've seen in DIY stores and...
It's going to be real useful to know who intends to be at Phoenix and when. We have a calendar to help us so PLEASE FILL IT IN. (left sidebar) Currently it's...
What I vaguely think I know.... - Greg there 22nd to 26th Dec - Paul the tree there throughout probably - Tommy and probably Pete from about 29th Dec to 4th...
... I wasn't offended, but neither was I convinced. I would need to see an appropriately referenced piece before I even look into. I didn't find it relevant in...
A look back and forward. 2007 was the year of the (start of the) 'credit crunch' and the first real threat of global economic instability for more than a...
(originally posted at TUE 9th Nov 2007, I'll update with my comments after yearend) This is my economic and markets thread for the next few months. In american...
I'm not so sure ( = I don't think) the over-riding theme of Zeitgeist was a shadowy elite controlling things. It is easy to see that theme in retrospect but I...
(reposted from TUE about last February) Oh yes, I do have one, would I have beaten my head against this brick wall so long if I did not? Anyhow, I feel you...
