Phew! I had visions of outhouses in the middle of winter...<BR/><BR/>I'm still not convinced that yurts would be warm enough. But maybe I'm thinking too much in terms of the climate around here, which can be cold AND wet (I'm assuming Minnesota has a drier cold). I came across this company that makes dome houses. http://www.cwdg.ca/index.html They look really neat, and claim to be environmentally friendly (though they're probably not as good as a yurt). Might be worth having a look at, though.<BR/><BR/>Have a great day!raw by defaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869829059425607630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641876630179038946.post-28952035101387752752007-11-08T01:11:00.000-05:002007-11-08T01:11:00.000-05:00thanks for the reply dude, altho i think you figur...thanks for the reply dude, altho i think you figured out i live in taiwan, but nyc sounds better every time! haha<BR/>man, i'm so getting yurts. was thinking abt what eco friendly buildings we were gonna have on our ecovillage and they sound like the answer.<BR/>i hear ya abt the travel. malaysia to europe would take 4 months, which is not too bad really!<BR/>anyway.. in between classes.<BR/>rock!<BR/>peace, miinMiin and Niel, Made of Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588603358630201087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641876630179038946.post-29415983137127965252007-11-07T23:52:00.000-05:002007-11-07T23:52:00.000-05:00your yurt idea is pretty much the coolest thing I'...your yurt idea is pretty much the coolest thing I've ever heard. i'm assuming you want all your plants to be organic. i think that will be the hardest part. except it look small enough so you might be able to handle it. i'm curious why you picked certain crops. i think blueberries and raspberries would grow great! my family has a 10-acre blueberry farm in NH but we're not organic. there are only 5 of us and there are 6,000 plants. we don't have the time to pick the bugs of each plant! haha. we only spray if we find bugs on the traps we put out though. and no one can eat from those plants for about a week. we're very careful about it. it's not like big farmers who spray all their plants every week or every 2 weeks even if they don't need to.<BR/><BR/>have a great day! i'm going durian hunting tomorrow! i can't wait. i wonder if i'll actually LIKE durian. OH! and I got my VITAMIX today! I'm SOOOO excited. I'm making a green smoothie tomorrow morning!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
