Scientists prove that microbes could survive on Mars

Scientists prove that microbes could survive on Mars

Treflach Farm Small Scale Energy Event - 29 Jul 12

We had a great day with Ian Steele and some very interesting speakers who were talking about small-scale energy generation at Treflach Farm. Steve Jones of Sector 39 had spoke about the possible futures of our energy supply in an interesting and accessible way. Dave the Pig talked about small-scale hydro, thermal solar and wind with a great deal of practical hands-on experience and Matt Swarbrick focussed on small-scale PV.

After our disaster with our newly refurbished digester trailer breaking, it was nice to be able to go to Treflach with the Baby Biogastronome on a new trailer. More information on the day can be found here, and if you are interested in attending such a course, do contact Ian.

Treflach farm is in a stunning location and Ian is ably demonstrating how small scale farming can be sustainable, environmentally aware and support biodiversity. Treflach Farm hosts a number of events throughout the year - take a look.
