          Was thinking of those small footprint plant towers that were circulating online a decade or so ago. Look like big upright pipes with holes in the sides for plants. Continually circulating water inside. I’m sure they’re expensive now but I bet we could throw one together without too much effort if we had the knowledge.

            Pvc is relatively cheap. Submersible pump could be as cheap as $10. Expanded clay is also affordable. Not sure about the design, though.

          Do you think power draw would be that much for hydroponic/aquaponic? Always just watched that and auto gardening from afar

            it kinda dosent matter if its hydroponic or soil they still need the same amount of light, and that depends on the crop, but basically there isnt a crop that could feed you if u only have a normal sized flat, even if u stack micro greens to the top and sleep in the bathtub
