May 25, 2016 | ProgressTH While we still work on automation (then on sensors to make the garden 'smart') we are still learning about the basics of grow beds. It turns out even on the 5th floor in the middle of a big city, ants like to eat bamboo.

Our one and only ferrocement grow bed, on the other hand, was easier to lash together, is more stable, leaves no space for soil to wash out during rain (it has rained hard several times now since adding soil) and of course, is not attracting ants.

In the picture you can see primarily basil growing, as well as some chili plants, eggplant, and a few date trees that will be transferred to the farm.

So, we'll be building a few more ferrocement beds.
