Organoponic Raised Bed gardens (ORBs) - the ultimate growing method outdoors would consist of fertigated (irrigated with fertilizer) raised compost beds, replacing poor soil, poor moisture conditions. Fertilizer could be organic or microbial cultures. This is an integration of John Jeavons' bio-intensive growing with hydroponics, both of which are efficient techniques. Food self-sufficiency with minimum weeding is a byproduct. Relationships: if grown in a greenhouse, plastic extrusion of greenhouse glazing is relevant. If ORBs are done outside, then a Hammer Mill is relevant for large-scale compost shredding.

ORB - Developments Needed
Specific plans for a permaculture garden that incorporates aquaponics are needed.
Here is a plan for a polyculture greenhouse from John Todd's work at Intervale Farms in Vermont that produces high value crops like mushrooms, salad greens and fish from waste materials like straw, spent animal bedding and waste grains.
