The Floating Farm: Digging In...In Praise of Litter! (kinda)

The Seedlings Week 1

We have begun digging in and growing up on the farm. For the amount of projected volume we would like to do to start off, we have realized that we have to up instead of out. The Floating Farm will initially be just a large platform with a lot of things going on on it. The primary goal will be to grow as much as we can and learn some lessons.

This allows us to bypass a lot of challenges that a lot of other farms have to deal with. First, we are instantly organic. We do not have the worries about soil contamination because we have imported all of the soil and growing media that we need.

Potatoes coming up

We do not have to battle with the sunlight issues. This summer is already shaping up to hit the 90's and only get HOTTER! The Floating Farm allows us to explore methods of dealing with sun and shade by changing the positions of everything. sot that the heat of the sun is not frying the plants or animals.

Still, first things first. We had to examine what we had an abundance of and thanks to a very dirty world, we had PLENTY of resources but not a lot of money. This means lots of bottles to build with and though labor intensive, it is satisfying.

We are cleaning up little pieces of the world and using what we find to grow things! Simple enough, right?

We need your skill, your will, your creativity to help us keep building this thing. We need your support and your thoughts on how take this thing of ours to the next level. Yes, we are building from waste, taking things that others have tossed, but we need help on every level!
