Q: How are you going to grow 800 plants in 12 sq feet?
A: 800 per 12 sq feet?... We probably wont. Its just a potential... We will use a semi-proprietary UNTESTED system of towers (sort of) with a system of Symbiotic Accompaniment Permiculture.
-------------Jeopardy! Round-------------
A: YOU MADE THAT NAME UP.
Q: Jealous?
----------END Jeopardy! Round---------
Q: OK... Symbiotic Accompaniment Permiculture?
A: Each Tower or Unit is divided into 2 basic types of parts - all manipulable on the fly. Those are harvest and symbiotic. Some of the plants value mostly rests in being a aid to the farming process. It is planted in such one helps the other and so that at-least every three days, on every Unit, there is something ready to be harvested (year round). So Florida is hot and so lettuce grows too fast. The hops and tomatoes are used to shade the lettuce slowing its growth. You get a yield everyday of fresh product and so inspect everything as a routine dally.
Q: What is your main production focus?
A: Ginger (for its value), teas, duckweed (fuel, feed stock, flour), guinea fowl (they're pests but this is Florida and bugs are horrid), chicken (meat, eggs - no tractors), rabbits (meat, fur), Moringa (fuel, feed stock, food stuff), lettuces, tomatoes, peppers, herbs, berries, onions, hops (no one wants to grow them due to ethanol. The intense year round production we use requires manipulatable shade.)
Q: Are you a bunch of off grid hippies?
A: NO!
Q: Are you a bunch of off-grid safe-guard against the end of civilization-as-we-know-it nuts?
A: NO!......... We ar..... um YES. But if you're not you're the one who's nut
Q: Isn't off-grid living illegal?
A: NO! Though, there are illegal laws trying to say otherwise (which we do not acknowledge).
Q: Will you hire illegals? If not what if there hungry and need work?
A: NO we hire homeless Americans... We'll feed someone hungry and polite... And otherwise not care. Illegal is illegal. We have a responsibility and therefore have lines drawn.
Q: Will you be looking to get Organically Certified?
A: NOT A CHANCE. We grow with nature tours and product will speak for them selves. - Look up the requirements some time. SHEASH
Q: Do you believe in Climate Change?
A: I do not believe in Climate Stagnation. Global Warming is a joke and those who believe in try very hard to be dumb. For crying out loud the #1 contributer to Co2 is the oceans - goes in... comes out. This planet was built for US.
Q: What is your intended source of power?
A: Nitonal, limited processed Bio-Fuel (theres that DUCKWEED again), solar.
Q: Wont it be hard working with homeless
A: We're putting 73 or so plants per sq foot supplying sufficient water, nutrients, food, .......... no homeless? Not really.
Q: Is duckweed suitable for human consumption?
A: Grown under sanitary conditions and with Calcium Oxalate content monitored it can. Calcium Oxalate is not a nutrient nor is it a beneficial source of calcium and can be toxic in large doses. Spinach, swiss chard and other leafy vegetables have levels up to 0.5 - 1% while duckweed can have 2 - 4% depending on water conditions.
