Sustainable urban agriculture hydroponic vegetable greenhouse.dv

Posted on May 22, 2011 by admin| 8 Comments

This video shows the Urban Food Farm from urbanfoodfarms.com It’s a complete greenhouse kit system with hydroponics, irrigation, soil-less growing and a very efficient space layout to grow organic vegetables and herbs year round. The greenhouse floor plant is 8×12. Normally the greenhouse walls are clear polycarbonate but since it’s been raining they are covered in condensation. We tried to show the inside of the greenhouse design and closeup of all the vegetable plants. Compare to the other videos taken 2 weeks and 3 weeks prior, the vegetable and herb plants grow fast. This video is from 12 it’s hard to believe it’s December, the plants are growing as if it was March. This video shows a close look of the tomato plants, all the herb plants like chives, basil, cilantro, mint and a few others, there are also cucumber, zucchini, squash, lettuce, micro greens and strawberry plants. Some of the plants we planted from seed on week 2 of the project and others like the older tomato and cucumber plants were brought from an older version of this vegetable hydrofarm. All of the vegetables grown are organic from hybrid seed. The greenhouse layout plan in this 8×12 hobby greenhouse offers 144 foot of hydroponic soil-less growing all done in coco coir.The combination of the greenhouse plan, the coco and the clear plastic walls allows this hydrofarm to grow as much as 6x more than the same space planted in the ground. The amount of work is also considerably less thanks to automated …

Hydroponic Aquaponic Indoor Grow System

Posted on December 30, 2010 by admin| 25 Comments

Here is Patti Moreno, the Garden Girl’s, indoor growing system. Very simple and easy. Feel free to share, post and embed this video. SUBSCRIBE TO MY FREE MAGAZINE: visitor.constantcontact.com FULL TRANSCRIPT: Hydroponic Aquaponic Indoor Grow System [Music Playing] I spent all day today putting together my Aqua Phonic System. What I am going to be able to do is in the winter time I am going to be able to grow vegetable as well as fish. So, far I have my metal shelving unit here. You can get this at any hardware store, it is really easy to find then I also have a 55 gallon fish tank. Now in our fish tank I have a water pump. I have attached his clear vinyl tubing to the pump that is in there and this is basically called the quick connect, push connector. That is it that you need to do. It is now connected and I have attached it to this valve. This valve allows me to shut that flow off and it also allows me to adjust the amount of flow. One thing, I definitely want you to know before you set up your own Aqua phonic System is know that you are not going to be able to introduce any fish into that environment for about a week. So, you want to make sure that it is the right environment for your fish before you even get them and so, for the fish tank I have cut some strapping and that strapping is supporting my planters. Right along the bottom of the planters I have many little holes. What that is doing is that is allowing the water to drain before you back into the tank. In the …

Urban Farming: Hydroponics in the City

Posted on December 8, 2010 by admin| 25 Comments

Keeping agriculture sustainable increasingly means keeping it local. Besides the environmental benefit of reducing reliance on fossil-fuel guzzling transportation, eating local food is a more seasonal and often healthier experience. With concern about food security growing, it might turn out to be safer, too. The folks in charge of the Science Barge, a new urban farming experiment in New York, are bringing local food production closer than ever. In this video Vanessa Rae learns about the floating greenhouse facility, which is designed as a demonstration of how urban space, especially rooftop space in big cities like New York, can be used to efficiently produce food. Self-powered by solar panels, wind turbines, and a biodiesel generator, the Science Barge uses state of the art computer technology and an agricultural technique called hydroponics to grow fruits and veggies using much less water and space than field farming. Watch out, city slickers. Farm country is coming to your neighborhood.
