Hola, hola, hola! Months are passing by like crazy :) Junij started with a Wood Workshop in which we made four Bat Houses… And I know you are wondering 'Why bat houses and no some pretty normal bird houses?' and here I am to tell you why. In the orchard we have appletrees growing, and you wouldn't imagine who likes apples more than Matjaz… Right! The moths 0.0 (Sure you thought about it, at first I didn't) Our unwanted friends come during the night and lay eggs in the apples, and nobody likes harm and sandy apples, no? SO, here's the thing: during day the birds around eat some posible apple-predators (unfortunately not slugs, that's another chapter) but during night there's no birds, I mean, those fellas must sleep a little, and here is where our HEROS and HEROINES 'The Bats' make the great move. Bats work in the night shift eating the moths around, so we made the houses to encourage them to move in the orchard. As a result we end (more or less) with the problem (for more info ask Matjaz 'bout the hormones spray) and also we increase the biodiversity in the farm (making Steiner and mother earth proud). Done with the class, it was really fun to re-learn how to use some wood machines I've always admire carpenters works and for a couple of hours I could play to be one.
