Hi, I have several good ideas, some of which I've already implemented on my own property, and thousands of (possibly) less viable ideas in my wastebasket. I'm an automation programmer/sysadmin and so everything I do has to be automatable. I've found thought that often things can be automated naturally, without arduino or anything. Here are things I would look at doing:
1. Grassland management. See Alan Savoury http://vimeo.com/80518559
Note: I would do this with a honeycomb structure of hedges with automatic gates.
2. Aquaponics. I have just finished/am finishing a ~60,000L aquaponics system at my house. Naturally automated (other than planting and harvesting, which can be automated/made efficient. See my blog (posted below) Also read up on Ben Falk's research. If you're honestly wanting me to put something in place, we'd have to discuss the details and we'd have to fly out and put things in place. I lived in Wisconsin for years but I'm working in London now and honestly I'd be VERY interested in trying some things specific to the mid-west. Good luck! Oh, to contact me, jump on #opensourceecology on freenode and shout for me I'm always on. |
