The Fenu-Tri Guide to Gardening is a digital reference for local colonists. The document is focused on terraforming and preparing Fenu-Tri for habitation. This edition has print tags that tie it to the Tempestasa Valley Terraformation project.
Hey Fran, found this guide in a scout package, might give us a peek into how the Terraformin' Towers down there work.
Take a look when you can, feel free to add comments.
Quoted Excerpt of the Guide to Gardening
This memo is intended for consumption by all colonists.
Tempestasia Valley is being altered for colonization by a triangular pattern of synchronized ground-level terraformation towers. The valley walls that surround the towers serves as a natural barrier, helping lower our energy footprint and giving us natural protection against enviromental leaking.
Now while these towers will be doing most of the work; it is the responsibility of every colonist to ensure the Towers work is not in vain.
With this in mind, we ask that all citizens make a habit of the following behaviors:
6- Outside of planting season, ensure that all allocated plots are fertilized and tilled on a monthly basis.
- During plant season, exercise proper composting and bring all extra trim to your local tower plants.
- When planting, check with the Terraformation Authority for the seasonal seed recommendations.
- Submit quarterly soil samples for analysis and corrective action.
- Inspect your local plots and report any anomalies to the Terraformation Authority.
It may be a lot on your plate, but this guide will talk you through every step!

Remember that the most productive farmland will be awarded a Badge of Excellence and free priority handling on their next Andromeda shipment!
Good find, Carmine! Taking a looking now.
Looks like a typical Syndie setup, but instead of a bio-dome they used the valley to do the low-altitude terraformation containment. Smart thinking, less material shipped, though I think they're overestimating the power reduction. Probably no more than 10%, but hey, it sounds good on the colony fluff pieces.
Colonist-Tower synchronization checks out, standard operating procedure in the early stages of terraforming. Prizes are a cute touch though.
This mention of Tower Plants is interesting... at a guess, if they're taking in organic waste, it might be a large compost and bio-fuel facility . Getting that back online would be a priority. I can figure out more once we get planet-side and I can start collecting data and samples.
Still on for coffee later?
