  1. I’m already doing vertical farming! Check out tower gardens. They use something like 10% of the water normally needed for crops and the electric bill for it will be around $10/year. I’m growing 28 crops in the space of a medium sized tub. I just planted it yesterday and I’m already seeing amazing growth in 24 hours. My understanding is that my lettuce will be ready in about a month, and the other crops by about two months, and the resulting vegetables are beyond organic.
