Solar Panels

Talking to a friend about solar panels and their expense. I was informed about the tax breaks and credits from power companies. It only cost $13,000. I don't have that much either...

Solar Plot usage

Your solar plot needs to be used and organized so that it does what you want it to do and minimizes waste. One big waste of your solar plot is heating your home in the summer.
Placing mirrors on your roof is probably not an accepted practice where you live but this would be a great way to redirect the light to more useful locations in the yard or just shooting it back into the air. Either way it keeps it from heating the atic and shooting up the electric bill.
Another way to do this is to plant a good shade tree to the south and keep it trimmed up off of the yard so the rest of the garden can still grow to it's full potential.

Solar Plot Reclamation

I have finally cut down the Mimosa Tree and realaimed a portion of my solar plot. It was in the backyard and so doesn't affect the temperature of the house which faces south.

There is still a bit of shade around but I can now put at least three 4x4 gardening boxes in the area where the tree was shading. I already have a small mound where there is garlic and squash in front of the shed just this side of the remaining trunk. That is where another tree used to be and is a great place to grow things since the roots and ramains have rotted for some time and I have built a fire there a couple of times until the fire department said I couldn't. Who knew.
