@shalafi@lemmy.world , do you have any advice by any chance?

Thanks for explaining! I don't have a 3D printer, but maybe someday I will work up to a setup like yours!
Thank you so much! You and that post answered my questions perfectly
Thank you so much! This is amazing information
Thanks for explaining that! Your system looks great(it is even cat approved).
I am thinking of just starting with some leafy greens (like Swiss chard, kale, or spinach) on a budget, but there are so many different hydroponic builds it can get overwhelming haha. I will look more into the DWC system!
I like the idea of a wicker basket coffin with natural-fiber clothes....and an added sword just to confuse future archaeologists •ˋᴗˊ•
Haha! I think they just mean in comparison to chickens, which will even use their claws to scratch everything up while they forage, but your duck experience made me laugh. They sound like a handful of trouble.
Thanks for letting me know! I’ll absolutely check it out right away
I could be wrong, but I don’t think you can grow all plants in hydroponics. For example, anything that grows on trees(large root systems) as well as grain crops (where you need a lot of plants together, rather in individual pods like in most hydroponics).
The only alternative I can think of is a greenhouse system. Like what indoor botanical gardens use for trees, but instead designed for farming. That would be expensive(more than farmers could afford), but it would also weather-protect crops.
But you are right about hydroponics or aquaponics for a lot of produce, though!
Interesting read! Thanks for sharing
Some do! The food forest method is very popular with fans of permaculture, and companion planting (like The Three Sisters) is sometime brought up in the community.
Thanks for your input! That is super good to know. I won't try their suggestion haha
