We used old windows to make a small greenhouse by the wall of the house. It works great, and it feels great to make them useful!
I love this idea!!Â

The Plan
Beginning plans for my eco village.Â
I don’t know if I can ever make an eco village a reality, this is just planning and a bit of dreaming and fantasizing, so no hate please?Â
The People
I don’t know how many people would be a good fit yet? I’m in the beginning phases of imagining this place. But there needs to be diversity! People from different backgrounds, with different knowledge and skills. Married couples, dating couples, casual couples, polygamy couples, single people, people with kids, people without kids, people with college degrees, people with high school diplomas, drop outs. I don’t care who you are or where you came from! Just a willingness to work and form a community!!
Certain skills would be nice to have, but with the internet and books there are a lot we’ll be able to learn ourselves and teach each other. I’ll touch on this more later though.
Money
Once the land is purchased, if it's large enough we could have a separate area for vacation tiny homes. These could be rented out for a weekend, or a week. Fresh fruits and vegetables will be included. Renting them out for weekends/vacations would make more than having someone lease it out for a longer stay(months).
Another idea would be making products like soap and other goods. Now the homemade soap business is a little crowded in Kentucky, but I think if we marketed our goods as "made by an eco village", we could get a good step in and maybe be successful.
If we can make enough food for ourselves plus more, we'll be able to sell fruits and vegetables too.
Charging the members:
Charge a member fee, we'll have to make sure we're in an area people can find jobs, work from home like customer service, or like above- selling goods.
Cleaning up the vacation tiny homes would be another job.
Membership fees would go towards taxes, buying supplies for future projects like solar panels, more housing, the vacation homes, teacher/education center if we have a lot of kids, shuttles for those without cars that needs to go to town.
Food Pyramids maximize space to grow food. Apart from being very practical they are beautiful to look at.
This is extremely adorable! I’m going to have to look up some instructions, I would love to be able to build something like this!!!
I think it would be cool to start an eco village in my state. I’m pretty sure there isn’t one. A university has one I think, but of course you have to be a student to live there.Â
I guess I need to straighten up and save some money to buy some land! Anyone want to move to Kentucky and live on an eco village one day?Â
I would love to be almost completely self sufficient. It’d be great if I could start a vegetable garden where I’m at now. I almost have a whole acre but most of it is a steep hill that I can barely walk on let alone plant on... The rest of the yard is the chicken’s and duck’s.Â
…when your “dream home” starts to look more like a self sustaining eco-village comprised of you and your loved ones living in domes and earthships. Â
How about a mini tiny house community you can put together yourself with a small group of people and as little money as possible? The other day I posted a WANTED ad in my local craigslist so I can …
It would also be the cutest neighborhood. This would be living the dream.Â
Every time I go to Home Depot I look at the sheds displayed in the parking lot and think, “I could live in that one”. And I mean, for size and price, it’s actually a plausible thing! It’d be a lot of work to finish and outfit it, wire it for electricity, do the plumbing, and I’d need another smaller shed for my beekeeping and canning stuff, but hey, it’s cheaper than a house. It’s got real stairs and eveything!Â
I do that too!
Can't afford a glass greenhouse? Check out how to build your own underground greenhouse for cheaper and for growing veggies 365 days a year, even in cold climates.
This is so amazing! Almost exactly what I want!Â
Forget “perfection”, just stick it in the ground! (done that) A good way to begin.
