your inspirational my good man! thank you for sharing your beautiful home. I hope to create an oasis like this for myself someday.

[sandgardendick]

Thanks for your appreciation. They mean a lot. I hope someday comes soon for you. Even if you live in an apartment there is a lot you can do -- see the video by permacultre founder Bill Mollison doing just that.

what kind of personal hygiene products do you use shampoo soap etc etc? will normal products harm the life of plant and animal?

[sandgardendick]

We do not use special personal hygiene products. However we have experienced two fish losses we believe were due to cleaners containing chlorine. Now we are careful to avoid such products. We use "Planet Earth" detergent for both dishes and laundry. The main pond acts as our primary indicator of system health and we watch it carefully. In general, I would describe the system as robust. It has been in operation for nearly 5 years.

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful project. I know what you mean. I've developed something similar back in Chile, and I can't wait to purchase a little lot in the country (in Canada where I now live) and build my home and an ecosystem like yours... watch?v=7Ns12_ZxZPg

Where would you get Planet Earth Detergent?

Also, I took an Environmental Engineering Class, I thought I would learn how to reuse water etc... just learned how much ahrm is doen to the environment. But one thing learned was detergents and BOraz have high levels of Phosphorus which acts as a fetilizer. If I will use gray water for the garden/plants does it mater if I use Planet Earth or common detergents? Thank YOu for the video and for being good citizens
