It would not need much place, if land than simply do some larger basins (1x3-6m), maybe 20-30 cm deep/high out of bricks and cement, or simple table-basins if having a classical flat roof are in Cambodia. In the middle of the city, as children love planting: having a flat roof Nyom
Cheav Villa ?
He had started in small boxes with water-spinach and they are growing fine.
One does not need to harm and kill animals in the soil, needs less dung, can be made from bio-material, does not need to spray poison, less to no vermin, very hygienically, no fight on land and destruction on vegetation and forest, no machines needed... no heavy and painful work, very less use of water, even to an extreme less amount, possible to do even in the city (public water might contain chloride which kills, needs to be stored a while till gone, or rain water.
Not much danger through heat and lack of rain.
And all can actually build from cheap and recycled material, no expensive material required if used to Khmer smart use of what others throw away.
Feel free and invited to support each other in kind of livelihood and food gain that is proper for Lay people.
My person heard that fruits and plants raised such are of high quality and sold 5 times higher in luxury markets. Not that it should cause greed, but to see that the quality and Sila counts for good livelihood.
It should be not seen as an alternative to escape suffering in wandering on, but as the foundation, Sila, to gain higher and follow the path for escape from birth sickness and death even as someone bound to farming for a livelihood.
Sila lead to wealth, happiness and even Nibbana!
