I’m an outdoors man. I was spending a good portion of my free time hiking, sleeping in tents or hammocks. But with time, it was just harder and harder to find time, to spend it like that. Last year, my wife gave me a present – a gardening plot! What a great gift! Now, I have my “living lab”. It’s a place where I can put all my crazy ideas on sustainability, vertical farming and prepping. I explore off-grid and renewable energy sources, etc. 0.1 acre (600sqm) of gardening paradise!

Plan is to make it work in those few phases/modules/segments:

Module 1: Living quarters

Module 2: Water and waste management

Module 3: Veggies and Flowers

Module 4: Lighting and Smartness

Module 1: Living quarters

Any kind of solid-wall housing is CRAZY expensive, it seems ridiculous to put 20,000 EUR in a small cabin. Of course, it provides shelter, security, and storage space. However, it seems excessive as one of the first costs. It’s still for “gardening”, not “cabining”!
