Stacked raised bed structure

Abstract

Methods, structures, and devices for modular above-ground vertical farming in an outdoor environment. Structures include a rigid top bed, at least one rigid shaded bed, and a framework adapted for mechanical coupling to the top bed and at least one shaded bed. The framework supports the top bed and the at least one shaded bed and maintains the top bed and the at least one shaded bed in vertically stacked alignment. The framework may comprise a plurality of supports. The top bed and the at least one shaded bed each comprise a horizontal platform with a top surface surrounded by at least one wall and configured to receive a plant growing medium. The structure may include two vertically stacked enclosures wherein each enclosure defines a plurality of openings permitting the exchange of air within an interior space defined by the enclosure and fresh air from outside the interior space.
