Is pyramid farming the optimal way to grow plants for maximum output? what is the math behind it? Is there a better way depending on the plant type?
>>16936779No
>>16936783You are fat
>>16936783Look, I know counting past ten is a cardio workout for you, so I'll make it easy:I built a 3D structure that catches more sun and has more room for plants. I ignored the dark side because I actually understand how shadows work. I have 1.14x your yield on the same plot of land.Go eat a snack and stop trying to 'No' your way out of basic geometry. It's embarrassing for both of us.
>>16936779pruning your fruit tree into an inverse pyramid is the best strategy
>>16936813interesting
>>16936779Assuming you're trying to optimize number of plants per unit of floor space, a single sloped wall is technically ideal. You get sec(x) units of plantable surface for every unit of floor space where x is the angle of the wall relative to the ground. Practically speaking, a pyramid is gonna be more convenient in a centrally located planter and is just 4 sloped walls that meet in the middle.
>>16936779sounds great in theory but when you turn the plant right side up it leans way over to the side, and you have to tilt your head to eat it.checkmate atheists
>>16936956is 90 degrees still a slope
>>16936960Technically yes. The undefined value for sec(90) basically just means you could make the wall arbitrarily high and never take up any floor space. There's hanging planters you can buy that are pretty much that.
>>16936779works for trees, works for us
That is a suboptimal structure. There are not enough reflective surfaces in the green house.
>>16936779> maximum output we need a new way of quantifiying output no way in hell is there enough nutrition in these veggies.
>>16936779It's not math, it's the inherent mystical power of the pyramid shape.
>>16936779The basic "more is better" principle that plagues our very existence as a species. Every agricultural hurdle we stumble upon has been fixed by nature millions and millions of years ago, but the stupidest monkeys still need to "find a solution" to problems of their own creation. Everything after "discovering" agriculture was idiocy & led us to thousands of years of war, famine, slavery, overpopulation, disease, genocide & elitism. We are a failure & deserve extinction. I beg any of our great leaders to push that button already and end this nightmare. Greatest achievement btw 10/10
>>16936779Using sunlight? Prolly. Otherwise just tiering them on racks and converting sunlight to violet light, with battery for use at night intuitively seems more efficient. I'm not about to do any math on it though. Cost of battery production, solar panels, conversion, output. Bunch of factors, but being able to grow day-round might be worth it.Also, why not east west aligned mounds?
the "tree" structure is the most optimal
