What a cool thing to be working on! What scale does your pilot installation produce at?
- bjelkeman-again 7y agoWe are still constructing it. Total area in building is 300 m2. Active growing area in Deep Water Culture (DWC) system is about 100 m2. 25 m2 packing room, 25 m2 people facilities etc. Estimated production, 600 lettuce plants per week (6000 growing positions). About 9 m3 for fish, rainbow trout, max 200 kg in the system. Total amount of water in the system is about 30 m3. The insect facility isn’t even on the drawing board yet. But we have an empty horse stable next to the barn we use to put it in.
- jrumbut 7y agoWhat a wonderful idea! Best of luck and I hope you share your progress on HN so we can see more.
- beilabs 7y agoThis is amazing. I've been devouring aquaponics setups on youtube with the ambition to eventually have a huge space for plant growth. The trouble is that I'm in Nepal and quite a lot of the equipment is difficult and expensive to import. Is there anywhere we can read about your project?
