“You can grow anything with vertical farms, but what and how do you grow? That is the question investors kept asking us. When we pitched our approach as a premium vertical farm that has learned from earlier failures and built something unique, they were really keen to listen,” says Shun Sano, Co-Founder…

I’ve got some honeyberry plugs on the way and I’m also planning on cold stratifying some tree seeds outside this winter – alder, senna, Goumi, a few others. Also have a couple small potted plants like a mulberry and some hopniss.
What’s a good way to overwinter all of this?
My current plan is to use milk crates as sort of portable beds. I’ll push them together on the north side of my house to limit sun and help prevent freeze/thaw cycles. I’ll cover them each with hardware mesh to protect from rodents and then throw some dirt up next to them and lots of hay around and above them for insulation. Then I’ll just hope that enough moisture gets to them from snow etc.
Does that sound reasonable? I don’t mind failing and learning, but losing a whole year to a bad plan feels rough!

I am in the process of removing plants from original owner that I do not want. I dug out an oleander and filled the hole with manure from my goats after they had cleared a field of dead wildflowers. I covered it up with dry shredded leaves from the Ivy I’m cutting back severely and let the drip continue supplying the spot with ~7.5L/week. I am amazed how many seeds were viable and that even gourds and zinnias were able to make it.

I just watched a documentary on Netflix called Kiss the Ground. It explains that we have the potential to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere by restoring our soil through new approaches to agriculture and cattle management—principles that align with Permaculture (basically, the soil is a huge CO2 capturer). It’s inspiring to see these techniques being applied on large farms in the US. I know the movement is still small compared to the scale of industrial agriculture there, but it gives me hope that we can transform the way we produce and consume our food.
