    Yes, probably a bit milder and wetter in these parts. How extreme it will get is unknown at this point but hopefully not too much severe flooding. I was however, referring more to the global agricultural disruption which is almost certain. We will be indirectly affected by shortages and...

    I think most of this is already a thing that can be achieved using just polytunnels, which are orders of magnitude cheaper. I was reading an article about a gigantic cucumber farm in Holland under glass that is almost self-sufficient in terms of water and energy. Water is harvested and stored...

    Well, I'm not an expert but the guys in Drawdown are, and they think it is a dead end. The multitude of failed startups in this space already accentuates that point. The maths of it show what you put in far outweighs what you get out. Growing in a box has too high an outlay and too high...

    Vertical farming has actually come and gone. It turns out to be a very inefficient way of doing things and so has withered on the vine, so to speak.

    Very glad to hear that. The super El Nino (Godzilla they are calling it o_O ) will affect the weather so dramatically this year and next, who knows how agriculture will fare. If we luck out well, good - I don't mind looking like a drama queen. I hope I do. If not, then well, it doesn't bear...

    Gardens and stuff

    One of the instructors in the course I mentioned above said there were species fruiting this year for the first time (this is in the Botanic Gardens).

    That is unsurprising. As much as he hams it up and exaggerates the situation for TV in his arrogant knobhead way, there is usually an underlying issue and a real backstory behind it. I don't like the guy at all, but the show is good and highlights, in a way only he could pull off, the growing...

    He's wrong about the last part IMO. With his platform and motoring fan base he could help significantly, if he choose to.

    The main theme of the show is the repeated humiliation of Clarkson himself, so it's not all bad.

    I haven't caught up on that series. I'll look forward to that. There is nothing in Holland that could not be replicated in the UK, though. Farmers need to be incentivised to do it.

    Farage might squirm his way out of it in a legal sense, but his stock is dropping, and this is a disaster for reform. The guys in that video are doing crime so I can't see them escaping.
