What do the japanese do about irrigation, and harvesting of the crops when they are grown in that environment? Do machines harvest those vegetabes? Is there some sort of drip system in the soil?

In part this is a response to JoeMomma. Sunlight may not always be an option and my interest in underground gardening comes from the paranoid aspect of human survival. Growing food when there is no sunlight and in a underground enviorment…inefficient LED’s are better than nothing. I like to know what we CAN do without the sun.

Under the desert would be a perfect application for the omega garden carousel system and would be the same in a harshly cold climate except that you would have better alternative power options in the desert, such as http://www.stirlingenergy.com solar tracking parabolic mirrors with heat engines at the fulcrum.

Ever heard of the Omega Garden ? rotary cylinders with a central light source, uses less then 10 watts per sq. ft. and the rotation speeds up growth as much as 5 times for some crops, and you can carousel the units for vertical storage – this works. the carousel occupies 100 sq. ft. and each cylinder have 100 sq. ft. of surface area times sixe cylinders, add 60% isle space that greenhouse have, that comes to 1500 of greenhouse, then times that by 5 times faster growth, and you have a 75 to one increase in just the area used, and you can stack those us in biuldings as high as needed
