Hey there. I’m working on a long-term project to build a self-sustaining, off-grid community — something that can survive outside collapsing systems and offer a better way to live.
Right now we’re still in the early stages: gathering people, designing modular structures, and laying the foundation for a full eco-society. It’ll take years to complete, but the planning we do now is critical.
We’re aiming to use recycled and reclaimed materials — stuff that would otherwise pollute the ocean — to help protect marine life and create something truly sustainable from the ground up.
That’s why I’m reaching out to experienced farmers, homesteaders, permaculture folks, or anyone with hands-on growing knowledge. I’d really appreciate help or advice on things like: • How much dirt/gravel is needed for stable, healthy planting areas • Best starter crops for a new community • Tips for natural soil enrichment, pest control, and water efficiency • Plants that grow well in limited or unconventional spaces • Anything else you wish someone told you before you started farming
Even small insights are hugely valuable at this stage. If you’ve grown food in tough spots — off-grid, floating setups, or just smart small-space gardening — I’d love to hear from you.
Thanks in advance for your time. Every bit of knowledge helps us get closer to building something better.
