Renny's Herbs and Salads

Renny investa f’għalqa idroponika biex ikabbar il-ħxejjex u l-fjuri. 

“Li naqleb għal sistema idroponika kienet vantaġġuża u ideali għalija minħabba li l-għalqa tiegħi mhix kbira ħafna. Din it-teknoloġija tħallini nkabbar numru konsiderevoli ta’ ħxejjex fi spazju ristrett."

"Mindu bdejt nuża s-sistema idroponika, eliminajt il-bżonn li nbiddel il-ħxejjex, u nimmassimizza l-użu tal-ilma permezz ta’ ċiklu kontinwu. Billi investejt f’din is-sistema bbenefikajt minn aktar qligħ finanzjarju billi naqqast l-użu tal-ilma.”

“We moved into our house 30 years ago and soon after I realised I could use the little well we have in our yard to save water. So I decided to make use of the rain water, by capturing it in the well instead of letting it run off. We connected a pump to the well and everyday when the well is full, especially in the colder months of the year, I switch the pump on and use the well for toilet flushing. In seasons with less rain, I use my well to water my plants, instead of using tap water. I have found these solutions easy to implement and maintain and have helped me save water all these years.”

I would like to thank the ‘Water – Be the Change’ campaign for their help and assistance throughout this project. Thanks to the interventions carried out within my fields, I can make use of water in a more efficient and conscious manner, saving water that was previously lost to excess.

These interventions also help me to save electricity, using harvested cleaner water, rather than pumping up water from the borehole.
