New York Hydroponic Tomato Farm

    Hydroponics is a good system but it also have some disadvantage, you need to purchase some "plant food", nutrition and supplements which may be high-priced. Before building any hydroponics system, you need to look at the benefit from aquaponics system, which can automate 95% of work.

    I grow duckweed for my fish and chickens plus red worms, crickets they breed fast and chickens love them duckweed has 60% protein vitamins. I use my cut plants and that to make methane gas to burn, use the liquid and solid compost for water in very small amounts and also have a rocket stove with a Stirling generator on it that pumps and make energy great thing it heats the place also…Then my two 15 watt solar panels and home made wind turbine…I over produce

    As you can see from that list he was adding in Nitrates/fertilizer artificially. I doubt that they come from organic sources, I mean I don't know of an entity that produces their Nitrate from organic sources because its not feasible and its harder.
    I have nothing against inorganic farming btw unless the farmers doesn't grow his crops in bucket loads of insecticides and that kind of stuff.

    yes! 🙂 Actually, I'm going to video doc the next set of plants, however, dont expect any weed! Actually, got any ideas for herbs? I was thinking of growing Arugula maybe some Chard, I love Chard

    amazing, these are the farms of the future (and now)… you can grow healthy plants 365days a year inside using MI lights, HPS and MH are old and inefficient. Just google "biosonictech" and look at the PAR spectrum those lights offer. MI is the way to go.

    Me too, well, I'm no IT, but I'm a Photovoltaics technician, a Massage Therapist and stuff, and before that I worked with my Dad's Company and my Uncle's company in landscaping and gardening. I also have been planing on living self sustainably.
