PAN
Design concept for PAN(Portable Agricultural Nursery).
I know the picture is a little light, but from top to bottom, the top(Roof) is designed to be staggered with an inlet for piping(preferably made with a cheap, light material) to carry rainwater into the box of the unit. There's also a valve at the top that acts as a toggle between letting the water flow into the soil basin, or allowing it to flow out through an adjacent drain. The roofing is actually connected to the base of the PAN by a singular support. After the roof, basin, and base are assembled, 4 walls and a door can be connected to it through a series of hindges and other clamps. The walls should be constructed of a cheap but sturdy and clear material(I chose plexiglass, for the lack of any better knowledge around the subject), combined with a hardened plastic towards the bottom of the base. The base itself is directly attached to the soil basin via the support. It's a bit of a crude design on the door, but the base is hollowed until stability is more important than portability, in which it could be filled with sand or other material in cases where improvisation is required.

neat man... seen one in action?

Nope. But if you've seen a greenhouse, and can imagine a collapsing port-a-potty, you get the gist of it. I just kind of threw it together on paper, so I haven't actually gone out and made one yet. I'm not even sure who I should tell locally if I did.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
