Time to migtrate my NAX over to my HAOS system!!!

Thanks so much.

This is huge!!!

Has anyone else made this work with home assistant yet? I’d love a guide, and if it doesn’t exist yet; hopefully I’ll have one by the end of the week.

I track my bikes and ebikes on lubelogger. It’s not an optimal solution, but it tracks everything I need it too.

There’s a backup button in the settings that creates a .db file.

I’d recommend migrating one service at a time (install, migrate, shake down; next service).

Either prioritize what you want declouded the most, or start with the smallest migration and snowball bigger.

Sure, but dead plant parts should be outside your house when decomposing. Same with food waste. Economy of scale still exists with municipal composting.

No need to accept mold in your house.

A huge part of cities (I’d argue the biggest part) is cleanliness and hygiene. Cities need to consolidate and remove their waste to avoid illness and outbreaks. There is also an economy of scale, a municipal composting station can break down more things, and more quickly, than everyone doing it at home (not that they can’t or shouldn’t if they want to).

The best way to keep decomposers out of your house is to move the things they want to decompose OUT of your house. This is way to much for an individual to manage in tight quarters, so we fall back on a city’s economy of scale.

Basically, a city needs a systematic approach to decomposition, it’s impractical and unhygienic to be doing so on a small scale within a city (the rules are certain different for something more rural or homestead-y)

When I lived in Montréal, I found the social services were very strong in my neighborhood (medical, libraries, transit, daycare, schools, parks, etc).

I attribute this to all stratas of income using the same services. My comparison of Ontario had different income levels using different services, which led to quality differences between those services.

Part of it is that windows and doors are way more efficient now.

If you we’re my neighbour, I would stand around and watch you work while I drink beer offering irreverent suggestions a lot.

Not a Canadian Tire link. :(

Amazing!

I also heard the main is repaired, so your water restrictions should end soon?

Hope you survive the extended water restrictions!

Those are some great resources.

I’m moving to Kingston, ON. The place has a big yard, and my goal is to have no yard.

It’s part of Frontenac Arch biosphere, so I get access to four botanical regions for native species to pick!

Is it a blanket watering restrictions on your region, or just lawn watering? Some areas only limit watering lawns, crops are fine.

Maybe consider a rain barrel too? Hook it into the system to water during restrictions.

Im moving this summer and only growing a single basil plant, so I’m living vicariously through you to plan my garden in the fall!

Now you NEED the weather station attached to home assistant to automatically control the watering! (Maybe some soil moisture sensors too)

A couple of frost protection options: https://www.ruralsprout.com/protect-plants-from-frost/

The vineyards in Ontario and Québec use massive fans to keep the air moving and fight frost. But I think if you are building critter fencing anyways, a blanket is probably the easy way to go.

Finally, a fellow chard hater.

A mini weather station may be worth investing in to lock down your specific microclimate (or see if any of your neighbors have one)

You can get some cheaper ones sub $200, or maybe find one on kijiji from someone else upgrading.

I use mine to run a few home automations too, so it was a no brainer to use it for the garden too.

Hopefully the bed elevation helped a bit?

Consider covering them if you’ve got frost coming. I’ve got a weather alert set up if the low will be < 2°.

Just something simple like this, prebuilt or diy

Love seeing your progress.

Gleaous I can’t grow cannabis in my province.
