Organoponic Raised Bed Gardening

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' biointensive 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 hammer mill is relevant for large-scale compost shredding.
