Hence why I'm working at this..
Decentralized Urban Farming - Growing Food at Home Made Easy
https://steemit.com/farming/@kevinwong/decentralized-urban-farming--growing-food-at-home-made-easy

But it's still a WIP, longer than expected. And as indicated in that old post of mine - if you know anyone else into this or interested in dabbling in it yourself.. definitely could use more people to do the research as well

Not easy to tell people to change, but if there are products / open-source designs and info for anyone to do this themselves, then part of the problem is solved. @krnel
