BAZA ULMU is situated in Ulmuosa, a small village in the North Ouest of Romania, 19km from the town of Baia Mare.
A wonderfull place, lost in the nature, only neighbors with some farmers and some bears ;)
The villagers, as they call them, have cob houses, they raise animals, help each other with different works, everybody knows everybody and there is no traffic through. Ulmoasa is a very beautiful place with mountain and hill areas, scattered houses.
The water comes from a natural spring and there are cliffs and moss. Wild animals: hedgehogs, bears, deer, lynx, crabs, squirrels, polecats, foxes, wild boars, mockingbirds and birds of prey.
As his neighbors, he thought about a house with local material, with earth. But not a COB, a house done with earth bags, from Nader Khalili 's model.
In 2014, they continue the construction with the realisation of the roof. It's a special kind of roof called: tatch roof. Also the roof will have a double structure in wood.
During our stay in the farm, we especially started to unskin the pieces of wood that they will need to create the roof (around 80 pieces).
A funny job to do...

Project 1 : Eco-Construction
For their house, Adrian imaginated a construction with local materials, as a good permaculture activist...
 |
| Exemple |
This guy has notably wrote a book about this kind of house: Here
They started the construction in 2013 but before that, they had to clean and scythe all the land.
Also, to live on the land during the construction of the project, Adi, his father, Roxi and friends also created a "temporary camp": they built a small wood habitation with a small kitchen, a terrasse, a dry toilet and a Root Cellar.
A Root Cellar is "a structure built underground or partially underground and used to store vegetables, fruits, and nuts or other foods". With this kind od building you can store you food without fridge.
The Root cellar is not for a temporary using. It was made to stay hundreds of years.
Then, with many helpers, they starting to build the foundations and all the walls of the house during the summer.
and finally...

Project 2 : Permaculture gardening
For the garden, Adrian, Roxi and friends have undertaken many different things.
1- The creation of mounds bed to plant with Sepp Holzer and Geoff lawton's model.
So they created mounds with wood in the middle of the mound and in the path. Like that, the wood will retain the water when it's raining, and return the water to the plant when the weather is dry.
Also, Adrian's land is sloppy, so, this allows to keep the water insted of running.
2- The creation of terraces and swales
The terraces are also with wood inside and both are intended to maintain the water.
To finish, the mound bed, the terraces, are always covered.
With the wood inside and the permanent mulch, they never water the plant exept for the transplantation.
