Wanted to share my micro closet garden. No daylight right now so had to vacate my windowsills. Havnt got to spend as much time as I'd like to workin on it but thought I'd share Gonna start a meat rabbit herd as well
Sick of hearing people complain about big agroculture and not do anything about it. This project took very little effort and cost me very little. I get to enjoy organic pea shoots, wheat grass sprouts and onion leaks fresh everyday. That's incentive enough for me
as my projects grow I'll bring em here

Nice project and I hope you'll have some fun doing it!
I'm not really sure if you're going to solve the issues with 'big agriculture' this way though. Looks like tight quarters for them rabbits, which implies you're running into the same problem with living space, stress and potential infections as large-scale meat farmers would do. Your grow light may get you through the dark winter days, but it's a horribly energy-intensive way of farming. And I'm not going to ask where the other acre of potted plants is that is going to keep you fed
But like I said, it can be totally worth it in terms of satisfaction.

Thanks guys. That's not a permanent home for those rabbits btw, they have an outdoor coupe. I bring them in at night I plan to use this thread as a log of my gardening, as it progresses. I will have much to share in the coming year. I am in interior Alaska, so nothing outside for a while yet I welcome anyone to use it in the same manner, organic gardening tips are welcome.
The TSA let me keep my jar of ladybugs I was stoked

I tried raising rabbits a few years ago for meat. In the end they all died of old age because I couldn't bring myself to kill them when they were so friendly. It would be like killing my cat and eating it. I do raise a dozen chickens for meat every spring and my old egg hens end up in the stock pot once they stop producing. They're not as adorable as the bunnies though. In the future I plan on raising a meat hog or two every year. Would love to raise some beef but I don't have the space (or desire) to grow hay. I get a side of beef from the farmer a few miles away when my freezer gets low.

Right on. Yer a little sweetheart. I love rabbit meat too much to let it go waste. We're startin our goat herd here soon, gettin our chicken and quail, turkey and duck flock goin again too Id like to raise up two family lines of hogs and get a good crowd but I think they'd be too tempting for the critters up here, and I don't have a good spot for them yet. Probably have to wait on them Pigs and Oxen, donkeys and such in time. Still prefer wild meat though. I missed the hunting season this year, man am I fucking paying for that. Almost forgot it's $10/lb ground beef

Nice man So about that last plant...how are you doing the lighting for it? Do you have any bulbs or are you just setting it by the window?

No it's not in a window, there is still almost no sunlight yet. You can call it cannabis, it's legal here.
I started that one on a tube flourescent, then experimented with mix and matching the tube lights, CFL, and LED for a while.
Now she's got a 250w HPS overhead with LED side lighting, I'm going to throw in a second HPS tomorrow
All the other plants are making their way back to the windows

How to grow spinach like Popeye:
-select a hybrid, chimera variety
Rinse well
Sprinkle with DDT
Wrap roots in cloth
Sow in rows
Select a good carcinogenic plant food and insert directly in soil, at roots of spinach seedling
And repeat
