Merely a grasshopper looking for a master.
I am a single woman in her early 60's I live in Knoxville Tn. I have just purchased a hydroponics garden for my greens, I live in a studio apt, I believe that one of the ways God provides is He warns us of upcoming events. Anyone else in my general vicinity, that is willing to help me learn and work with what I have and will be acquiring?

Howdy from DFW Texas. I have some old viet nam vet pals who will gladly take two bags of those hydro greens sight unseen. They dont live close enough to help with the grow.

Welcome from DFW.

There are entry level hydroponics sets. I've looked into them, but don't have the room yet. Here is an article to get you thinking.

When growing plants indoors, hydroponics is one of the best solutions for yielding more, saving space, and conserving water. Learn how to set up a system.

I chose a dehydrator over the freeze dryer. One reason was the cost difference. The only thing I can't dehydrate is meat, and I have learned to can that. The other reason is space. A freeze dryer is heavy, takes up extra room, and is loud. I know someone who has both. She is freeze drying like crazy to make it cost effective. But she does it in her garage because of the noise.

Never freeze the high dollar green stuff. It makes the trichomes get brittle..break off and fall to the bottom of the bag. Dehydrating and bricking up should work. Mold can be a problem child.

Small spaces are also spirulina, a block\log or two of mushrooms and if everybody went dehydrator (and the sun is a microwave) I would think about freeze dryer. I just got a package of freeze dried vacuum packed mushrooms from one of our friends.
In a weird time you will have the unusual thing and that might come in handy.
Water distiller maybe too if you can? So far we have filters and a small pump that is kind of a joke.
Best wishes! Unless we get a break, I think new mexico may just ignite next week and save us all the trouble.

I don't intend to freeze the green stuff, just grow it. The greens I am talking about is vegetables

Yes, I am thinking along those lines too. how many will want fresh greens, and they are not available. by fresh greens I do mean vegetables.

Thank you for the comment, I have already purchased the hydroponics system. It is 2 foot by 1 foot a tower with three columns.
