There's tons more that can be adapted to a vertical tower.
1 .Greywater wetland filter
2. I call them shelf mushroom window boxes that reach out three feet more.
Fire escape.
3. I think that tower can look more like nature to mimic what's beautiful and
functional
4. Each person on each story would have their own garden patch.
5. you also should be looking from the top for the IRS coming
6. you start your seedlings where the sun is, up in the sky.
7. your turn.

IF climate change and population growth progress at their
current pace, in roughly 50 years farming as we know it will
no longer exist. This means that the majority of people
could soon be without enough food or water. But there is a
solution that is surprisingly within reach: Move most
farming into cities, and grow crops in tall, specially
constructed buildings. It’s called vertical farming.
any other suggestions that might integrate permaculture principals within the
greenhouse's physical and biological ecology, as it pertains to irrigation
need fulfillment?
