Goals:
Enough food for 10 people year-round
Scalable
Very cheap
Very easy to maintain
Hardy crops and systems
Palatable
Rounded diet
Not dependent on outside suppliers
Can be installed readily
Space efficient
Sustainable (seed producing crops)
Research:
Plants that grow well in NH
-also, what do local farms produce? D Acres is one good example in Dorchester
Greenhouse system requirements
Hydroponics, vertical towers
Suppliers for plants and supplies
-some websites will ship fruit trees that have grown several years
-some things can by DIY
Where to plant? Map of garden
-considers sun, wind, temp, humidity, soil type, companion planting
-possible compatibility with animals (most likely chickens)
When to plant
-proposed schedule to order to receive plants prior to date of planting
Maintenance routine
-simple instructions. Pictures and video preferred.
Storage
-LDS preparedness manual has lots of good advice. Root clears, canning, drying, vacuum sealing, etc.
Recipes
What would also be useful is basic principles used in making decisions, so other people starting up their own systems can apply them.
