Let’s talk simple living, off-grid small-scale solar and compost toilets
Hi, I’m Martin and this is my website – ecraftsmen.co.uk
I’ve gathered a lot of practical and theoretical knowledge on designing, using and maintaining simple compost toilets and have been tinkering with small-scale solar PV for quite a few years. I love sheds, cabins and small natural buildings and I’m also interested in the concepts of voluntary simplicity, minimalism, animism, degrowth, and deep ecology.
On this website, I’m recording my thoughts, experiments and exploring ideas around real sustainability and regeneration. Why don’t you join me?
