Guide to Building a Sustainable Lifeboat™: The Urban Garden Grow Dome

“Everything happens for a reason and everything leads to something better” — DocRAM

What’s a Sustainable Lifeboat™?

First, let’s define Sustainable Lifeboat™. A Sustainable Lifeboat™ is a basic food production farm model using drip irrigation systems for water conservation.

Author, researcher and founder of Sustainable Lifeboat™, Dr. Richard Alan Miller, believes that the principles and practices associated with building a sustainable lifeboat, will prove “priceless” during times of financial instability. ‒ should the electricity grid and water distribution systems collapse.

The concept was initially researched and developed to facilitate with growing of alternative food crops and herbs. This proven water saving method expanded to include organic weed control and chicken farming, etc. It’s, also, perfect for settings where space comes at a premium; such as, backyard gardens, roof-tops and urban garden grow domes.
