One family's fight for independence, building an ecological house (EcoHouse, EkoHus in Swedish) for $15'000.

Water Plants

Got a little pond going, the moment I was done filling it there was a frog swimming in, must have smelled the water. I quickly tossed a branch and a flat piece of tree so the frog had somewhere to sit and jump. It looked content. After that it was time for a trip to the local swamped pond for some regional life. The water has greened nicely.

Time to consider some edible water growing food sources.
