Having quite some success this summer with our 'Vegepod'. We have edible flowers, beans, chili, lettuces, many herbs++
This 'pod' garden system proved itself during Cyclone Gabrielle, which unleashed insane wind speeds upon us.
Well worth the investment, but surely something similar could be built from scrap metal, plywood and a suitable cover material. Whether it would be near as provably robust is another thing.
For those of you in Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara / Wellington, I'll be having a wee chat on disaster resilient communications on the 24th, at the very nice Vogelmorn, 4-6pm.
I'll dive into wired and wireless network fallbacks, from packet radio, to meshing, long-range analog radio and antennae options, low cost software radio, offline networking, on-prem locally served clouds and wikis, and good ol'fashioned walkie talkies.
Up and running. Decided to go with a Vert900 antenna as I have a bunch lying around and they've always served me well in the band.
While scanning the local mesh, I see that the first of the 25M sheep in this country has been added to the network.
9 days until the Collapsathon 72hr writing sprint!
If you've got an hour or 3 for helping out the rest of us tardigrades - whether it's creating lists of links, or synthesising research into articles - we'd be stoked to have you onboard.
The wiki's now open for registrations 👇

Buzzed to see a Meshtastic network linking the North and South island here in Aotearoa New Zealand. A robust and low-power civilian-operated comms backup in the event of natural disaster.
