About BioSpaceHome

A journal of everyday ecology.

A useful answer to an everyday question

Good questions for the rooms you already live in. Practical guides to wasting less, tending plants, and keeping useful things in use.

We start with one household decision: what to use, what to measure, or what to keep. A guide should leave you with something you can try in the home you have.

How the journal is organized

Four subject areas connect the small decisions that shape a home: how food gets used, where water and electricity go, which possessions can stay in service, and what plants need in the space available. Each has a consistent byline and a distinct approach.

Meet the bylines

Our guides use four editorial pen names, each assigned to a subject area. The profiles describe the focus and writing approach of each byline.

Nora Bennett

Low-waste kitchen

The kitchen byline follows food from the shopping list to the next meal, with an emphasis on visibility, safe storage and routines a household can actually keep.

Maya Collins

Repair & reuse

The repair and reuse byline considers how to care for useful possessions, recognize a manageable repair and decide when a replacement or skilled help makes more sense.

Indoor growing

The indoor growing byline connects plant choices with light, containers and the conditions in a real room, rather than treating every home as a greenhouse.

How the articles are written

A guide starts with a specific question, gives the key points, then works through the decisions and common mistakes. Sources and frequently asked questions make it easier to check a detail or follow a next step.

First-person passages express an editorial view or a suggested approach. Household scenarios are illustrations unless a public case is attributed. Photographs are credited separately.
