Time-saving techniques, grouping tasks, utilizing simple automation, and balancing effort with yield.
"Let’s dismantle the biggest myth out there: that farming eats your time!
Forget those fear-mongering YouTube videos that make problems look overwhelming - they are not constant! The reality is simple, fast, and driven by smart scientific choices:
1. The 70/20/10 Rule is King: The first rule of scheduling is to choose vegetables that fit your available time bandwidth! 70% of vegetables are self-sufficient champs and need almost NO attention. 20% need moderate care, and only 10% need intensive hand-holding. Start with the 70%!
2. Tech Makes You Lazy (The Time Hack): Simple technology cuts labor to the bare minimum. Devices like mulching, precision watering systems (drip/bottle), and preventative sprays mean your daily job is reduced to just a glance through - a quick check while you enjoy your morning tea!
3. The Real Schedule (The Myth Buster): For a 100−200 square foot grow bag/bed area, the time commitment is unbelievably low:
o Daily: Just a glance through!
o Weekly: Half an hour is plenty for all your routine work.
o Fortnightly: One hour is enough for a complete overhaul!
When you match your crops to your schedule and deploy simple tech, you stop struggling and start enjoying.
Roof top farming is a pleasure, not a punishment!"
