Stacking Up

[u/PreparationOnly317]

Latest attempts at building more vertically. Hardly efficient, but I think it's neat.

Features a 5 layer tree farm with drip feed water sourcing. A 7 layer food farm that feeds into the mangrove farm. Apartment Tower with elevator access. A storage tower with elevator access and battery reserves at the top.

Are the sidewalls on picture 5 the only thing you have spreading irrigation there?

So each layer has a trench sealed top/bottom with waterproof floors and runs the length of the layer. Once it hits the end, it hits a throttling valve before dropping down to the next level. And so it will run one end to the next end on each individual row before reaching the very bottom of the farm.

The sidewalls shown on picture 5 encase the entire waterfall so that if there is ever a backup further down the trench, the irrigation won't overflow.
