The picture doesn't show it fully, but there is a full row of 2x4s that form a kind of trellisway for plants to grow between.
I am never beating this time, goodness.
To give background context, last month my brother found a box of my old stuff that my grandmother had sitting in storage for easily over 20 years. One of said things was my old portable antenna TV that I used to be able to watch TV on either in my room, or more often than not when I was traveling.
In today's world, it does not pick up channels anymore as everything went to Digital instead of Analog, but an Analog channel can be made and I have been inspired by seeing other people to make my own just for the fun of it. Especially since in spite of sitting in a box for two decades, all I had to do was remove the old batteries and clean the connectors a bit. I actually tested it with a coax to 3.5mm adapater to my Gamecube, and was able to play Pokemon Colosseum on it.
Doing so though made me think with the same premise in the Solarpunk world.
I used Icecast before so that on the LAN I could have my music play from my Raspberry Pi and could enjoy it on my phone or tablet, and I also own small FM transmitters that I used for the same but with my handheld radio (mostly for the fun of it).
But what of a small community in a Solarpunk setting? Would it be using IceCast and a singular large LAN? Would it be using FM transmitters for a pirate news radio? Would it be akin to pirate TV where someone broadcasts out an analog channel?
Would people in a local community all have their own channels? Or would they come together and build something for a singular connection?
What are your thoughts? How would it work for your personal idea of a Solarpunk community?
There is no reason to do it all alone. We are stronger together.
It is a small jar, but the satisfaction always is worth it.
I have a plant shelf complete with a trellis I built a few years ago in my south-facing window for growing plants year round with a combination of lower powered LED Grow lights and the daytime sun. I grow lettuce, pinto beans, peppers, onions, and celery, using ollas and wick bottom pots for watering the roots directly. Everything grows all over, I admit, but it also helps me feel at peace.
Part of sharing this is also to show it is not always about growing plants, but preserving them, and making use of every part you'll use. I'll use that garlic and onions when cooking to add flavor, the brine is vinegar based which is good for salads, and the peppers are a topping of course.
Playing on a Retroid Pocket Classic by the way!
The heat during the day do you envision a more nocturnal leaning world?

They call them Nemo Gardens, and it makes for interesting ideas.
