It must be more pleasant there than in the toy-toy chemical toilet I visited last time at a concert 😆

Goodbye chemical toilet, hello independence!
Switching to a #composting toilet is not just about ecology - it's a smart upgrade for anyone who is solving #offgrid self-sufficiency.
End of infrastructure dependence!
No blue chemistry, no searching for sinks. You use the liquid component after dilution as a nitrogen fertilizer, the solid component dries and turns into #compost
The magic of #separation !
The smell does not come from the feces themselves, but from their mixing - an ammonia reaction and rotting are triggered. A simple mechanical separator eliminates this without chemicals.
12V microfan!
Power consumption below 1.5 W, permanent negative pressure in the container. It sucks up moisture, dries the substrate (coconut fiber / sawdust) → zero odor indoors.
Water consumption: 0 liters!
Using drinking water to transport waste is a waste of resources in an offgrid environment.

I'm going for it! I've decided to build a #trobolo #composting toilet. My goal is to have a zero-waste garden and process everything myself. Nature doesn't owe us anything, so I'm honestly giving it back.

After exercising, I still had enough energy left for a little work. I started by removing this old dug well. We plan to drill a well on the property soon, up to 25 meters deep, for fresh water. The dug well was 4 meters deep and the water in it was only surface water, unsuitable for washing.

The Spooltenna project is a perfect mix of amateur radio passion and open-source approach. It solves the eternal problem of tangled antennas in the field.
The best detail? You can buy their tuned product and support the authors, or thanks to their openness, build it yourself at home. That's what I call true HAM spirit!

Today I received my SDR receiver. It has excellent parameters, so I'm looking forward to turning it on for the first time.
But first, I want to set up an outdoor antenna for the HAM bands 80 m, 40 m, 20 m, and 10 m. I want to focus mainly on them as SWL.
This is how I will spend my winter evenings in the garden.

Thank You! See also my new post, where I write more about this.

2025-11-05 17:46:25 UTC

Thank you for your interest in my previous post — I’m glad so many of you were curious about the drink I mentioned! So, let’s dive a bit deeper into it.
While watching this year’s Tour de France, I noticed that Tadej Pogačar always drank a cherry-colored drink after each stage. I got curious and started to look into what it was — turns out, it’s the ENERVIT MAGIC CHERRY drink.
What did I find out?
It’s made from an extract of the Vistula cherry variety. This cherry is naturally rich in polyphenols, which have strong antioxidant properties. These compounds help neutralize free radicals in the body produced after intense exercise, which in turn supports faster recovery.
Pretty impressive — but also pretty expensive! A single 9g portion costs around €5.60 here 🙃
My natural alternative: Aronia
That made me wonder — could there be a simpler, natural alternative?
Yes! You can actually grow your own source of polyphenols at home: aronia (also known as chokeberry). Its composition is very similar to that of the Vistula cherry, and it also contains an exceptionally high level of antioxidants.
Until I grow my own bushes, I’ve been buying organic aronia juice from my local health food store — and I’ve already tested it on myself during training and recovery.
The result? Great taste, easy digestion, and I really feel it helps with post-ride recovery.
If you’re looking for a natural way to boost recovery and overall health, give aronia juice a try. It’s one of those underrated superfoods that deserves a spot in every athlete’s kitchen.

Not far from here, the dam recently reached its lowest level in history, and I took this photo while wandering along the newly exposed shore.

I just planted my very first fruit bush!
Today I planted aronia (black chokeberry) in my garden. It’s my first fruit shrub ever, and I’m genuinely excited about it. What motivated me was a simple thought — why not grow my own ingredient for Pogačar’s “magic recovery drink”?
As a passionate cyclist, I often struggle to calm my body and mind in the evening after intense training. I’ve noticed that Tadej Pogačar always drinks a special sour cherry recovery drink after every Tour de France stage. That caught my attention, so I decided to look into it.
It turns out that the drink is made from an extract of tart cherries (specifically the Vistula variety), which are rich in anthocyanins and polyphenols — powerful antioxidants that help muscles recover faster and reduce inflammation after effort. This drink, for example Enervit Magic Cherry, is used by several professional cycling teams, including Pogacar’s.
What it does:
neutralizes free radicals produced during intense activity,
reduces muscle inflammation,
speeds up recovery and prepares the body for the next session.
And that’s where my aronia comes into the story. I found out that aronia berries contain similar compounds as tart cherries – a high amount of anthocyanins, polyphenols, and vitamins. So once my bush grows and starts bearing fruit, I’d like to make my own “recovery elixir” – a homemade, natural drink perfect after cycling, running, or hiking.
My plan:
I planted aronia – my very first fruit shrub in the garden,
I’ll let it grow and produce its first harvest,
and in a few years, I’ll be able to make my own recovery drink, similar to what the pros use,
but straight from my garden – no chemicals, no marketing, just nature and passion for training.

Fruit trees.
3 different apple tree, cherry tree, and plum tree. These are my first trees 🙂

The first trees are in the ground. We’re beginning our journey toward our own garden and a healthier life.
