i would like to put large square bins on rails and
then i could remote control everything like the model
railroaders. bring any needed bin through the station
to get watered and weeded then send it back out.

think that would be expensive? haha. yes, i know
it would be.

plus, it divorces the topsoil from the subsoil and
you lose all the benefits of the soil community. to
do it well you'd need about 1x1x2m and that's a lot
of weight... nah, i'll stick with the ground pillows.

i grew up poor too, but didn't notice it much until
others were sure to point it out and treat us badly
for it too. i live a simple life and keep expenses
low. hope to never have to work full-time again.
enjoying my time off now.
