Green-Sherpa

Sherpas consider the planet and its resources to be an important part of their lives. The Green Sherpa will introduce you to ways of using our planets resources wisely and making sure we don’t abuse what we have. He loves being outside and working in the garden but at times he doesn’t always have the time to maintain all that he wants to do. He is creative and inventive learning how to do simply better gardening.

Water is a precious commodity and should not be abused. Use it wisely, save every drop.  Here is an interesting little known fact about water;

Of all the water in the world, only 3% is fresh. Less than one third of this fresh water is available for human use namely, only 1%. The rest is frozen in glaciers or polar ice caps, or is deep within the earth, beyond our reach.   With industrialization, farm irrigation and wastage humans thirst for water in manufacturing directly competes with our drinking water.  Of that 1% half now goes into industrialization and irrigation.  Guess what the third world countries are now just ramping up their industrial engines, so very soon we aren’t going to have much left to drink   And of that 0.5% we waste over 50% in leakage; for example running a sprinkler hose for 2 hours uses up to 500 gallons of water.    To put this all into perspective and leave you with a simple image; if the world’s water supply is represented by 50 gallons about a tablespoon is left as drinking water!

Why buy water when you can use what nature gives you?    However if Nature is not able to provide, then use only the water you need.  My green sherpa is currently researching growing in containers for that kitchen garden feel.  Grow your own in a container garden Grow on the Go easy gardening and flower planters positioned wherever you want them.   Container growing is fast becoming a booming business because we all need to make sure we know what we are eating.   My green sherpa will guide you to a healthy wholesome lifestyle
