The idea of farming intrigues me but in practice I cant even get good yield out of my little raised bed boxes. Aphids, slugs, birds pests have destroyed my veggies every year. The seeds never quite seem to sprout like expected (either not at all or stunted growth). There is a lot to know about farming, soil management, fertilizer application pesticide schedules, proper seed selection and a lot of other stuff that is poorly documented and difficult to learn. Plopping a bunch a Wi-Fi controlled drip controllers isnt going to feed 1 person much less 150. I spent $120 bux on drip irrigation last year and probably $100 on compost, amendments etc + seeds and I got a (single) bunch of carrots, 6 leeks, couple pounds of beans, and a couple heads of lettuce (actually got a lot of lettuce but it mostly bolted before I ate it). I love it but I have no illusions that I'll even break even.
