Hand Pump
Good morning

Yes indeed, eco-scene is a good word. I wonder in passing if you know Olivier Dadure? He's very involved in the "alternative economy" gardening scene, his association is "le petit jardin des écoliers", site at http://lepetitjardin22.canalblog.com/. There's a "troc" this coming Sunday at la Ferté-Frensnel, I see. Very nice. I need to collect all those references. Apart from the few regulars that you meet on all the eco-festivals and bio-markets, most people have the impression that our region is basically “empty” (bereft of about “all”). And trying to arrange an identity for myself in two parallel universes at the same time, I am one of them, half of the day. Finding *new* stuff here and there, helps. ;-) By the way, today, we are at Loré for the « appel du bois Normand ». Okay, on the site there is, in deed, little sign of pumps but I will call him up. I need to do that with « Normandie Pompes », too (Lonlay l'Abbey), and be it to have their opinion on the rotary pumps from England. Remember this guy is an old-time brocanteur though, so hold on to your wallet! Okay, thanks. Glad the plants are going. Did you get them in the ground? I planted the remaining Purdom's poplars I had rooted, as well as the beginnings for a Japanese maple hedge (10 upright with good fall colours to start), all seem to be alive... If you want any replacement maples for what died, just let me know. I would rather wait for fall to finally plant the maples. We have lost brushes in the inner hedge that we plant as a second rampart against the chemicals from the fields, and the placement for the maples needs some startegical planning. I will choose one of the new gaps when I am sure that the other plants are well installed and protected against the hare (jack rabbit) which has found our terrain. I had to add fencing around the young fruit trees and treat some nibbled barks. Trees of the current size of the maples have completely disappeared. I haven't seen any deers, yet, nor « chevreuilles ». Have a nice week-end, MIchael cheers, -E -- Location: Lower Normandy (Orne), France GnuPG/OpenPGP 4096R/3216CF02 2013-11-15 [expires: 2015-11-15] sub 4096R/2751C550 2013-11-15 [expires: 2015-11-15] [Next key will use elliptic-curve algorithm! :-) Get GnuPG!!] |
