Two solar panels on a handmade shed charge a battery that runs the kitchen and can top up the electric car when needed (parking is about 50 metres away in the cul de sac), alongside rainwater harvesting, composting and a hugelkultur bed for home-grown veg. The gardens are wheelchair friendly, but there are steps into the bungalow.
