Estonia's Ministry of Regional Affairs and Agriculture is looking to help breed grapevines to make quality wine in their northern latitudes.
A nice overview of the breeding process, which usually takes decades...

@coldclimate I've been reading plenty on this topic for a good few years now but non of my notes are quite organised.
Firstly, I'd recommend this book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0993077234 even if you know most of it, I feel like it cements things, but if you don't it gives you the words and generally how the different measures work together.
There are many retrofit co-op which have already been referenced, but I'm still not aware of any which operate in the north east.
You mention #PassiveHouse, their lesser standard #EnerPHit is a good term for searching, then there's #AECB which have more attainable standards while still taking a holistic approach.
This whole podcast is a treasure trove but this episode in particular: https://www.houseplanninghelp.com/hph383-a-beginners-guide-to-creating-a-comfortable-home/
Understand the current building fabric, the materials used, and the effects of using non-"breathable" materials on buildings which are. I'm generally for woodfibre or similar first, and then PIR (or similar) when others aren't so suitable. Trades seem to opt for PIR for everything.
I like the guides on this site: https://www.ecologicalbuildingsystems.com/post/best-practice-approach-insulating-suspended-timber-floors (it will look strangely familiar to the wall I'm working on)
Insulation is one big part, it has to be continuous, but air tightness (not just "draught proofing") as such an impact on both comfort and heat retention. Ventilation is another, can't seal up without letting that moisture escape, for that I'm looking into #MVHR, also helps keep down CO2 levels.
And finally, have a plan, with deep(er)-retrofit, everything relates to something else so the sequence is critical.

Rural fuel pressure is building again ⛽
Fuel relief is on the table in Juneau, but the real story is what’s happening far from it. When supply gets tight and prices climb, every delivery becomes a countdown. Some communities are already watching the clock. ⏳

Hive mind, what had made your home more cozy and relaxing?
I bought a huge beanbag last year and I love it. I've also been decluttering.
What's made a material difference to your home? -

Yeah, I definitely need a massive US truck because I do DIY.... (No comments on the safety or this please).
1994 #mx5 proving to be the answer. Again.
This will be the raw materials for my next #woodworking project, a bench made out of a huge oak log. -

This evening I planned to install *something* on my old #oneplus6t - Postmark or ubuntu or something.
everything I can find has a starting point of "downgrade Oxygen to 9.something" and then links to some bullshit hosting site that errors out.How do people not loose their minds trying messing with this stuff? Where does one find quality firmware downloads?

Support your local independent food vendors!
Pizza Society on Team Valley in #gateshead, a minute off the A1 is tremendous.
£3.50 for a slice of thin crust pepperoni and hot honey, some of the best pizza I've had in years.

I live in an UK 1950s semi. I've slapped solar and a battery into it, and over the next few years I want to step up the energy efficiency+eco impact with retrofitting.
Anybody know of any useful blogs or resources? Any localish companies (North East) who can help?
I'm thinking about #insulation, #underfloorheating, #heatpump, what else? #passivehouse

We've been staying in a hotel room with an Alexa #smartspeaker . I hate it. But... Because able to shout at a speaker for music is fun.
What are the #SelfHosted options (software and hardware) than I can hack together with #Navidrome ?
