ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

We are creating a world that works for everyone through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity :

• Learn about the structures: Aquapini & walipini open source hub
• See what we’ll be growing: Aquapini & walipini planting & harvesting | Food Forest | Tropical Atrium

This last week the core team, with the help of Avery Ellis (Aquaponics Specialist and owner/operator of Integrated Aquaponics), finished the overflow pipe details, stone pathway, south sump-adjacent grow zones, plants in the pond, plant diversity in the DWC 1, and bell siphons:

We also did a new and detailed sunlight and heat study on the Large-scale Aquapini for our specific location and with 4 different proposed roof designs. Here are the results showing the 12′ (3.66 m) South wall and 50% East and West won out as the best when combined with shutters that we will build to cover all glazed areas at night:

David Sweet (Architect – DSweet.biz) finished the basics of all 6 aquapini & walipini structures in CAD. Here’s the CAD export showing them:

DUPLICABLE CITY HUB PROGRESS

We are creating a world that works for everyone through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, can provide laundry for over 300 people, beautiful, spacious, saves resources, saves money, and saves space:
