Did this when I lived in WA state where I got the barrels from the apple juice processers. Cannot dig up the yard where I live, but am allowed to use all the planters I want.( reasoning?) Has been several years since I have been able to have a self sustaining organic veggie garden and am excited to get started again and get things going so I am rready for spring. JUST HAPPENED ACROSS YOU WEB SITE AND REALLY ENJOY IT. Looking for some recycled food or juice barrels to cut in half and use as raised beds.

Glad you enjoy the photosAnajz - yes, it's the one in the same Solar Oven we sell on the Peddlers Wagon. There's a direct link to the product under the photo in the descriptionDavid - That cuke happens to be a zuke! No cucumbers just yet... The food storage barrels are used for a variety of purposes here on the urban homestead - they make excellent rainbarrel and storage for all the extra soil/compost we have.Jane - the solar oven is the SPORT SOLAR OVEN (you can find the direct link under the photo)Leslie-La Mama Naturale - Thanks for your positive comments we appreciate it!luvnschooln & Michelle - We have posted a number of recipes on the website over the years. You can search for the recipes on http://urbanhomestead.org/journal/ by using the search feature on the upper right-hand corner. Or check the category "In the Kitchen" and sub-category "Recipe Box."Because of the need to offset the increased costs of hosting the site and provide a return for all the time the family invests in creating useful, inspirational content, we have plans to compile their recipes in a book to sell as a way to raise funds for the website and other outreach projects. Thus, new recipes are not being given out until the book can be written and published some time in the future. Thank you for your understanding.Michelle - As for the sun ovens. The Sport Solar Oven is lightweight and made from mostly recycled materials. The interior of the Sport Solar Oven is more "roomier" than the Global Sun Oven. The Global Sun oven can fit one 3 qt pot, while the Sport Solar Oven can fit two 3 qt pots, a cookie tray and even a 9 x 13" casserole pan Thanks for everyone's comments. Glad you enjoy the photos

I'm thinking about getting your sport solar oven. What is the difference between the two of them that you have for sale? Speaking of posting recipes, can you post your wheat tortilla recipe?

I'm green with envy!!! *laughs* All the pictures are lovely. The food shots look scrumptious especially the blueberry pancakes. And solar baked oven cookies...that's one I definitely need to try. I just received an apron on my son's birthday that belong to my great grandmom's mother! It's really cute. I'm always so motivated after reading your posts... Have a great wknd. Wow!

I'm always digging through a huge drawer of shirts, but scrambling for the clean pair of (never seemingly plentiful enough) pants!Like David, I'm also curious about the barrels. Mostly because we're in the process of designing a simple grey water system including a solar powered distiller (basic design by Steven Harris - Sunlight to Dollars www.knowledgepublications.com ) to allow us to use the water in more applications, so components like barrels are on the brain. ;) Isn't it amazing how long tops can last?
