The Aquaponist’s Daily Prayer: “PRAY FOR POOP”
– by Colle and Phyllis Davis
Portable Farms is proud to show you Before and After Photos highlighting the 40-day progress of our newly constructed PFAS LLC’S Experimental and Research Center in San Diego, California, that was completed and planted on May 28. Because of improvements in our seed choices, planting methods and technology, our farm is exploding with fresh organic food after only 40 days. The 600 tilapia fish in this system know our voices and ‘frenzy’ when we walk into the farm (a good sign because a happy fish eats well and POOPS A LOT and that’s the fertilizer for our plants). In case you didn’t know it, the Aquaponists’ Daily Prayer is, “PRAY FOR POOP.”
BEFORE: Gravel Grow Trays in a Portable Farms Aquaponics System with Colle Davis, Inventor, Portable Farms Aquaponics Systems.
AFTER: 40 Days After Planting with Colle Davis, Inventor, Portable Farms Aquaponics Systems, July 6. Many green leafy organic vegetables are already READY TO HARVEST and other blooming plants already have blossoms and are ready to produce organic fruit or vegetables after only 40 days (such as tomatoes, peppers, green beans, zucchini, and cucumbers). Portable Farms grow enormous amounts of healthy, organic, nutritious food in small spaces. This small farm feeds TEN adults . . . FOREVER. This greenhouse is 16′ x 33′ (528 square feet) and contains 264 square feet of Grow Tray space.
