+====site sustainability ====
 Sustainable gardening: design, construction, operations and maintenance practices that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This can be reached by attempting to protect, restore and enhance the ability of landscapes to provide ecosystem services that benefit humans and other organisms.

+====permaculture principles====
+The OpenGreens project covers different bottom up approaches for designing human environments that have the stability and diversity of natural ecosystems. Integration of urban agriculture, honeybees and their role in urban ecosystems, renewable energy systems, food sovereignty systems, natural building, rainwater harvesting and urban planning along with the economic, political and social policies that make sustainable living possible and practical.
 principles of permaculture design according to Bill Mollison* relative location: how elements of the design are in relation to other elements. What are the connections between them?
   * multiple function: each element of the design should perform at least 3 different functions. (trees=> windbreak, food, rooftop insulation, ...)

+=====06. green technology : the digital gardener & the visible weather======
 We connect local OpenGreens in an international network of experimental gardens where artists work with natural processes.
 These gardening situations serve especially to look into microsociological and ecological systems related to time as starting points for the development of new artistic practices. The OpenGreens allow us to study the implementation of contemporary art in an ecological context and to observe and draw content from eco-data and natural patterns and processes.

 - exhaust gasses pollution meter
+Pollution is definitely a concern for city farmers, but luckily, the pollutants of greatest concern are heavy metals, such as lead, and automotive break pad particulates. Both are denser than air, so vegetables grown on a rooftop high above the roadways are protected from these contaminants. The limited lifespan of plants mean they absorb significantly less contamination than our lungs do.

 ====composting: with a little help of our friends====
-The self sufficient garden is not far away. With a little help from our friends, the small micro-organisms we can find in amounts of zillions in the garden compost heap, we can make microbial fuel cells which can power small devices (sensors) for monitoring the gardens.

+Opened the hive#1 (december 18 2012) to check broken sensor. Bees still alive, cosy and warm in the hive. Temperature was rising instantly when opening.
+Discussed with Antonio which sensors to change and how. Try to stabilize the platform and link the data to the smartcitizenmap BCN.
