I really applaud your attitude and thinking here! It's a step in the right direction, IMO...Become one with the cockerels :D
Anecdote: a part of what I did back in the day was to try and implement Walden but my and our attempts would always lead to failure as I was raised a dumb city boy! Now if the internet had existed in 79 I'm sure my attempts would have been more successful! One winter, on one attempt up in the mountains off the grid it was so cold that the bloody cockerels froze to death! You might have been impressed with my homemade moccasins, though:)
I don't have a lot of experience with gardening but Youtube is your girl in that regard. I did spend 4-years gardening in boxes on a roof quite successfully. I only have one pic though and that is my fish tank Pansie aquarium which ending up looking awesome by the fall. The plants grew for near 8-months in it:) Best tomatoes I've ever eaten, too:)
Hehe, I like that ingenuity! It looks nice with that blue umbrella!
I got inspired by Walden long time ago. I just won't obsessively measure the pond or something.
Maybe I'll stick to hydroponics method for now... and some easy stuff. Well good luck to me, I'm a dumb city girl but hey youtube is a friend indeed.
Poor bloody cockerels froze to death... 😔 🐓
