The maximum comfortable distance for a person to reach across at counter-height is a width of 36 inches (1m), so a grow tray with only one side exposed can only be 36 inches wide. For a grow tray with both sides facing an aisle the maximum width can be six feet (1.85m). The aisles need to be a minimum of 30 inches (.76m) for comfort and safety The grow trays are restricted to 200 sq ft due for ease of working with aisles and carrying harvested vegetables out to the building.

Plants can only utilize approximately 70% of direct sunlight. On the inside of a greenhouse, the temperature will rise very quickly as the sun climbs up into the sky. All greenhouses exhibit this rapid rise in temperature as the angle of the sun decreases. Even in very cold climates, the sun, on a clear day, can drive the temperatures from below freezing to the mid-60’s (15 to 20°C) very quickly. It most greenhouses, the problem is what to do with the heat and how to best utilize it for the good Back Garden Landscaping, Greenhouses, Architecture, Greenhouse, Rainwater Harvesting, Backyard Landscaping, Backyard

The Portable Farms® Aquaponics Systems are designed to lift all of the fish waste out of the fish tank. The Control Panel moves the water from the fish tanks twice a day (like flushing a toilet)to an area where the solids (think ‘tiny poops’) are moved into in a ‘separate’ tank After the tiny poops have been ‘flushed’ out of the fish tank, the clear water, with the nutrients from the fish waste (without the tiny poops), flows to the head of the Grow Tray.

It generally takes between 7 and 9 months for a tilapia to grow to maturity and we harvest them then at 1.25 lbs(approximately) which yields two four-ounce fillets.

The majority of the food grown in Portable Farms® MUST be sold and not given away to those in need. Why? Because the focus of donor funding always shifts, over time, to various causes and if (for whatever reason) the funders or donors who are supplying the money for the ongoing costs of labor, water, electricity, etc., required to operate a Portable Farm decide to reallocate that funding to another cause, the aquaponics system will eventually fail.
