Hi Myplanet2,

As long as you have a road to the location, you can get a concrete truck to the location. I've already done that since I've built a house using concrete on the land. Yes, there's all kinds of addictive you can add to modify the concrete characteristics.

The simplest way to grow food is your standard garden, but I hope to get into aquaphonics/hydroponics later on. i'm looking at geodesic domes for the green house. There's a certain amount of research and experience that we need to accumulate to grow successfully. That's why I want to get started on this early on.

The monolithic dome is an interesting technique, but expensive ($60,000 for the balloon form for a 60 feet). I'm not aware of such construction in Canada, but I've read up on it. I'm primarily looking for the most bang for the buck. There are monolithic dome techniques using a rebar skeleton that don't need the balloon form.
