During the GFIA event we were invited to visit a local greenhouse who are cultivating plants using aquaponics and raft hydroponics. Needless to say, we jumped at the chance. The greenhouse produces kale, basil and lettuce on floating rafts made of polystyrene. The rafts float on water containing fish waste and the plants draw their nutrition from the waste.
The owners of the greenhouse were interested in improving their success rate when propagating and so we gave them a trolley unit complete with two of our easy2propagate Kits which will be used with the enriched water from their aquaponics system. While Jason explained the AQUAvalve technology to the owners, Dan posed for photos in the greenhouse! We’ll keep you updated of the trials progress on our Facebook page.
