Creating a self-supporting ecosystem may require going back to the rural past:

Note that they built the proverbial two-story outhouse.
Even in town, farmers' houses in rural Germany had pigs under the house
and a "Misthaufen" compost/dung heap outside. Patton commented that the
size of the heap was a status symbol. I never noticed any smell, unlike
cow or sheep manure.

Yes, it was quite a scathing opinion.
I'm trying to remember in which of my books that was.

The family sold all rights to the story and had no say in the movie script. >Actually his and Maria's natures were swapped, he was tolerant and >supportive, she was strict with a bad temper, not the free spirit the movie >showed. They escaped by simply boarding a train.

The movie I remember (vaguely) was of the musical play based on their
story. Or, rather, their story as crammed into the Standard Formula:
1) two couples, one adult, one young
2) the /adult/ couple thrives
3) the /young/ couple does not
/South Pacific/ uses the same formula.
This is what the 50's (that is, the Greatest Generation) found
romantic. And re-assuring (they identified, of course, with the adult
couple, and took joy in the failure of the young whippersnappers).
