The Newest Agriscaping Design

Here is the newest design that we have been working on. We wanted our farm to have the feel of an urban farm & garden that brings you into it rather than a typical unattractive garden space that people tend to ignore. This farm & garden will serve at least three primary purposes. First, it will serve as the demonstration & Residential Research Facility for Blue Sky Agriscaping. This means we will always be testing new ideas and other things to see what works and what doesn’t, as well as host tours and classes. Second, we will grow food in an intensive yet elegant way to be able to serve as a Market Garden providing better-than-organic produce for our friends, local health-food junkies, chefs, restaurants, and more. Thirdly, it will serve as a tree and plant nursery to provide high quality plant stock for customers of Blue Sky Agriscaping and the general public.

There have been many iterations, and as you can see in the drawing we are only approximately 40% complete. Here are some of the things we are incorporating into the design:

1. ​Recreational Pond - this pond will be an attractive garden pond without fish where we can swim. It will have marginal plants growing and the water is filtered biologically using hardly any electricity. We will have it run off of solar power. It will serve also as a backup water supply.
2. 5,000 gallons of above ground water collection that will serve our home for all its water needs with a better-than-city-water filtration. The tanks will overflow into the pond which will overflow into reservoirs on the property to water all the vegetation. We will be growing with very little need of water compared to other farms and gardens.
3. Fire Pit Island
4. 20’ x 40’ greenhouse that will eventually double.
5. A smaller Aquaponics pond that will grow plenty of food aquaponically.
6. Plenty of cozy retreat style sitting areas to relax throughout the gardens with lots of paths.
7. Subterranean Trampoline Garden - ground level trampoline so when kids fall off they don’t get hurt. Then stairs will lead underneath to a two-tier subterranean garden. This garden space doesn’t go above 100 degrees or below freezing and stays a higher humidity to be able to grow tropical and subtropical plants.
8. 16’ Rabbit Dome for raising meat rabbits in colony style.
9. Large Chicken Area/Soil Production - all food scraps, grass cuttings, shredded leaves and other organic goes into this area. The chickens will eat a lot of this and eat the bugs that eat a lot of this. In return the chickens gives us amazing soil with the side benefit of eggs.
10. Outdoor Bathroom with rainwater collection for the sink and composting toilet.
11. Outdoor Shower
12. 16’ Grape Vine Geodesic Dome Retreat - this dome will be the same as our existing rabbit dome but without the mesh and with grape vines growing over the whole dome. This dome will serve as an outdoor living space with cool shade in the summer.
13. A couple tiny homes to allow people or families to stay on our property if they have like-minded interests who would want to work on the farm to earn a side hustle. One of these will be a shipping container tiny home and the other will be a traditional tiny home. We may also provide a space for an RV or Trailer. These will also be part of our AirBnB that we will offer no our farm.
14. ​And a lot more...
