Homestead Planet grew out of Tola Homegrown, a grower in the British Virgin Islands. James Woods started it to help households grow food at home with systems they can understand, build, and repair.
The plans come from systems built and run in a hot, island climate, where shade, heat, and storms all affect growing. They are written for home growers anywhere.
The methods behind the plans
The plans follow published methods. The main benchmarks are the University of the Virgin Islands aquaponics work (UVI CAS) and the FAO manual Small-scale aquaponic food production (FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper 589).
