From a discussion with Blake C.-
I agree that all the solutions are here. But - we can't just do them - we need to learn/integrate and then implement them. We need to help people with the learn-integrate part.
We got on land - and found that we were very ignorant of skills ourselves.
What is the critique of Solviva? I've seen it - but realistically - how much is it a labor of love versus something that anyone can do? I'd like to see documentation on the labor, troubleshooting, and other insider parts.
It is one thing to write a book on Solviva - put tons of effort into setting it up - but how replicable is it really? I love the idea - but from my experience with greenhouses, hydroponics, animals, worms, etc - this is either a labor of love or absolute optimization.
It is the absolute optimization - and ability to teach the techniques - that is missing. So upon more careful analysis, Solviva is not highly replicable.
But I do believe that the work to document and optimize needs to be done. In particular - pest issues have to be addressed. I do not see much of a discussion on the trouble spots of Solviva, from what I recall. Then, after the information is opensourced and proven rigorously - we can talk about teaching others.
In any case, we are trying to document the various techniques. We're focusing on robust perennial beds outside - together with elements of Integrated Food and Waste Management Systems
