Ah, a mast‑vertical farm—nice idea! First, I’d map out the mast’s load‑bearing points, like a chessboard, because the soil layer needs to stay balanced and not topple the ship. Then, I’d create a spreadsheet of pH levels for the soil mix—I'd need a mix that keeps acidity just right for tomatoes or kale, not too alkaline for the seawater surrounding. I’ll also set up a drip irrigation system that recycles greywater from the galley, so we keep the reef‑friendly vibe. Don’t forget a small compost bin up top; I’ll keep a log of the carbon‑to‑nitrogen ratio like a chess endgame—slow but precise. Also, I’ll put a “microplastic filter” in the water return to avoid contaminating the reef. And, if anyone asks, I’ll politely remind them to reuse the plastic bottles—people just need to see how their habits ripple through the ecosystem. Anyway, that’s the plan; now I need to check the email about the broken anchor before I start the spreadsheet.
