Wish I had the land to put one on, let alone the funds to get land/dome. I would consider subscribing to his patreon but in the end, it won't help me much if I don't have a farm to farm lol.

Super jealous too :(

Maybe there's a geodesic dome time-share thing we can sign up for lol.

i used to guerilla garden when i had no land. now that i do, i set up a small hoop house - the poor mans geodesic dome.

Damn, I'm still jealous lol. I have to ask the condo board if I want to even put a plant on my balcony :p

If you've actually got a set up, this videos got a few good things. I liked his portable rabbit hutches that deposit the droppings on the stuff below... and his fish-containing hydroponic system - I think he called it "function-stacking". Quite a clever guy.

Edit: what's guerilla gardening - like, planting stuff in parks and what not?

yes, i planted stuff along a suburban train line. it ran on electricity and the carriages were sealed, so i thought it's safe. i made a few large compost piles and then used them as garden beds, just to make sure the substrate is nice and clean. then added a lot of mulch, because hauling water is the hardest part of it.

aquaponics imho, takes some time and money to set up and run properly, i am not sure if it's economical. but i never tried it. i just fish. the closest thing i did was small scale hydroponics, 4-5 plants.
