Micky and Tracy have a fantastically varied patch of garden and have given us a tree which has just grown too big for its position. We picked a lovely new site for it just below the wee shed. Micky insisted on planting it too. It is about ten feet high or 3m if you wish. It's an ornamental looking a bit like an ash tree - a Japanese Wingnut. We would very much like to plant a small group of the rarest of UK natives too - the Arran Whitebeam. If anyone has a few seedlings please let us know. They're pretty difficult to come by.
Follow our experiences in self building our ecohouse on the west coast of Scotland on the Isle of Gigha on our croft plus the occasional rant about life the universe and everything. Our build is pretty innovative in being roundhouses (2 x linked dodecahedra) built in Structural Insulated Panels with no internal structural walls or timbers and with a turf roof. Never been done before or so we think. Check out our website at http://www.ecoroundhouse.co.uk/
