Orgonite making on a sunny Sunday afternoon...

We made orgonites again on the weekend :) They turned out pretty well!

This time we used a different method of making them. Our friend called up the professionals (orgonite website people) for advice on how to make an effective orgonite! This time, we got our ratios a little better ;) 50% metal fillings and 50% resin.

The resin and catalyst we picked up from Autobarn in Melbourne and they were so different to the Diggers one we used before. This time, it dried up into a jelly like substance that was impenetrable in just a matter of minutes! We almost could not put in a quartz pointer in one of the towerbusters as it dried up so quickly.

So this session went smooth and easy. Haha. Not much mess or sticky hands. The towerbusters while drying were of all sorts of colours! We were surprised as the last time our resin had no colour. This time, it was pink, purple, blue, orange and even green while they were setting in the muffin trays. They finally turned out a pretty pink when fully dried :) ... PoP! They came out with no hassle in just 2 hours! It took us more than 24 hours the last round.

Day 1 at Honey Market Lane, CERES Environment Park

Good weather for a day of gardening at Honey Market Lane. We arrived around 10.30ish at CERES Environment Park and searched for the location of the garden. Then, we looked for the illusive Steve, who runs the garden and it's many tasks + workers/volunteers. :)

Honey Market Lane

While waiting, I helped out with washing the lettuce for Market Day (tomorrow, Wednesday) while he started weeding some of the beds. Groups of loud school children flooded in tasting soil, doing their quizzes and just having some fun wandering and exploring.

Then I helped with weeding nut grass too! Very stubborn kind of grass with deep and interconnected roots. With the help of the fork and some muddy fingers, we got most of them out! And on the way found some other lovelies - worms, slaters and other colourful bugs I am unsure of what they're called.

Some regrowth from the harvested lettuce! 

We managed to weed 3 beds by the time the rain arrived. Next week ... planting basil! Fun!

Homemade Oat Milk

My first try at making oat milk! After referring to some great blogs online, I ordered in some muslin cloths and got onto trying this morning!

Soaked some organic rolled oats in filtered water for a few minutes before pouring it into our blender for a bit of a wizz. I added a tablespoon of Agave Syrup and a pinch of salt. After the oats became pulpy, I strained the mixture with a muslin cloth... and in it went into jars!

 Strong "oat" taste unlike the cartoned ones. Mmmm.. surprised at how easy and relatively mess free the whole process was. Now they're ready in the fridge for our bircher and protein shakes! :)

The remaining pulp ... product - oat milk and raw ingredient- oats!

I am excited to experiment more! 

And to use the pulp for some cookies or odd balls tonight :)
