Yes, my vision is for every house to have a food-grow room, just like most houses had root cellars ~100 years ago. I really like Ceres greenhouses (http://www.ceresgs.com/ http://www.ceresgs.com/), as well as Open Building Institute's aquaponic greenhouse (http://openbuildinginstitute.org/buildings/#greenhouse http://openbuildinginstitute.org/buildings/#greenhouse).
The easiest way to get started is by planting the seeds into the sand, just push them in with your finger. I did plant sprouts in about half of each veggie bed, but I had to wash dirt off their roots, which really put them into shock.
- Bedon292 10y agoThose are some amazing links. Definitely some inspiration for the future. I could definitely see this getting tied into a system like in the second link, with compost and chickens, and all that.
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 10y ago> every house to have a food-grow room The climate in our house varies so much that we need a heater in the winter and a cooler in the summer to keep it habitable. An additional grow room for plants would require the same and the cost would seem to outweigh the benefits, although I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.
