Whats the most eco friendly way to recycle coal ash from a house fire?

February 3, 2010 - 5:43 am No Comments

We live in a victorian house and light our fire alot over christmas. We use a mixture of smokeless coal as well as wood collected over the year – whats the best thing to do with this?
Note i know that wood ash is fine but this is mostly coal/charcoal.

if you have an area of the garden you wish to make into a path then use the ash etc as a base a little like using hardcore..alternatively makes a great weed suppressant on slabbed paths etc..just sprinkle into gaps and cracks and brush off the surplus..or on whole areas if you have one that needs treating great as a soil conditioner too

What type of things would i have for a eco friendly house (living in bribane)?

January 6, 2010 - 8:33 am 1 Comment

Like wat should the postion of the house be (for brisbane?
Wat type of material shopuld b used for the walls, floors, and roof?
Wat type of plants should i have (4 bris.)?
Wat special design features should b used?
Surrondings of the home?
ventilation?
insulation?
that type of stuff

you could grow grass on your roof!

you should use windows that prevent heat loss and conserve energy, or plant big trees in the yard to block sunlight from overheating your house. Cutting back on energy = eco happy.

dont forget to recycle, use those pricey lightbulbs and take your own bags to the grocery store. :)
