App: Because most of those who will be living in this new
subdivision will not have had previous experience with gardening. The app that
will be most beneficial and connect them to sustainability will be an app that
is connected to a sensor in the ground. Within this app you will be able to
tell the ground temperature, perfect for knowing when to plant what seeds. This
sensor will also be able to record the ground moisture content and thus be able
to avoid over watering.
You will be also be able to put in the amount of people in
your family and it will calculate just how much produce you will need to feed
your family for the year. If the family decides to install a greenhouse you can
formulate that within the app.
Food: In our subdivision there will be a move toward not depending on grocery stores. Food will be grown and made within the subdivision.
Planter
boxes: Unless you live in the urban areas you don't have the acreage to plant a huge garden, planter boxes are the way to go. They are simple and they prevent water waste and soil runoff. Within the planter boxes they can grow the specific plants and food that they want.
Community
garden for larger amount of items: There are certain food items that need to be produced in larger quantities. Such as corn, potatoes, peas and carrots. They are easier and more economical to grow larger quantities.
Green
house for winter growing: We live in an area Where it is not cold but it is impossible to grow things in the winter, green houses are the perfect solution. Each home will have the option of building one as well as having a community green house.
Community
compost pile: Because of the idea of letting nothing go to waste, and cutting down on waste, a compost pile would reduce waste and provide fertilization for the future gardens.
Dairy Farm: Milk, cheese, yogurt and all other dairy products will be grown and produced and delivered to the homes.
