Thank you so much for posting this! I will be contacting Dan, as I have been designing and building greenhouses and growing systems for almost 40 years and am fascinated with what I've seen in this video. Curtis, I know you are not an aquaponics guy yourself, so I'm very grateful that you took the time and effort to bring this to us. MORE, MORE, MORE!!

The greenhouses seem to be great for the cold climates but I'm in North Florida and am really interested in that misting cooling system since I am running a small aquaponics system myself. I do not have a greenhouse mainly because it just gets and stays too hot here. One thing I love about aquaponics is that the cool water being constantly pumped onto the roots of the plants keeps them cooler so I can grow lettuces and things longer before they bolt and I also have same benefits in winter since I have heaters in the fish tank I get warm water pumped onto my peppers and can keep them growing all winter. I run the aquaponics system as well as 50' grow beds and am selling to a couple restaurants so thanks again Curtis for all your inspiration you have really helped me get going and I am getting lots of value from the From the Field subscription site. Thank you.

Curtis, I've always enjoyed the long form videos you produce. When the content is great, like this, I enjoy them even more. Exploring and sharing in your continued development within new Context(s) is valuable and enjoyable for me as well. While much of these concepts were not new to me, the insight used, application, reapplication, evidence based research, curiosity, and perhaps general play was fun and something I likely would not have ever found I'm my own. Thanks for staying curious and humble creating content, sharing and releasing context, and sharing your explorations. I look forward to a Part 2! Constructively... would have loved it if you both would have been microphoned. This is the type of information and exploration I myself enjoy. Thank you.

This is awesome. I am going to start my own business The Light Greenhouse and in June will sell my local farmers market while doing some market research. This has given me an idea to talk to my store director on putting a greenhouse on my grocery store and or buying commercial land in the future. Where I would put a greenhouse on top of an existing building. Yes, I would love to see more.

@JasonRenoux 5 жыл бұрын

Great to see research is still going strong in this field of urban ag. I have studied and worked in aquaponics. Although I firmly believe that it is a great method to grow very tasty and nutrient-rich produce, the cost of production is an important factor to take in consideration well before planting the first seed. Market research has to be done accordingly, especially as mentioned, to avoid entering an already saturated market. If labor is still the primary cost of operation, think about the aquaculture side of an aquaponics operation... Growing fish is costly. Keep these videos coming Curtis.

Minor detail: 26:26 Swamp coolers absolutely CAN go well below the ambient air temperature. They operate on the same basic principle as this implementation (which looks awesome, by the way). This is fascinating and I'd love to see more, Curtis! Thanks for posting!

@gotcha9934 5 жыл бұрын

themonkeydrunken According to you you which one is the most effective ?

@HomeSmartPasadena 5 жыл бұрын

Misting into a high column of dry air will moisten and cool the air making it more dense. So the air falls. This provides a natural circulation without a fan. He is using a clear tarp to direct this cooled air to fall at the sides, and be carried across his crops with the incoming outdoor (makeup) air to the center of the room for lift (due to heating) and some extraction at the ridge turbines. So not using a fan to circulate (as with a swamp cooler) saves a bit of electricity. Perhaps a 250 watt fan in a swamp cooler. So $1 per day per unit. One could use a swamp cooler frame at the window inlet without the fan. Allow the negative pressure (from ridge turbine) to pull in the swamp cooled air. Mist emitters require a low volume, high pressure pump (costly) and are prone to clogging. The swamp cooler frames use a low pressure pump that is cheaper and all is at ground level to service... Who wants to build one of each to test?

@jeffdible8171 5 жыл бұрын

This seems to solve a lot of my gaps in aquaponics growing. Putting it on top of a pre existing commercial building seems like an excellent idea and may also decrease efficiency in the building itself. All that extra heat on a sunny winter day pumped into the lower building? Fabulous! My experience and mindset on deep raft aquaonics is changing. Maybe NFT or aeroponics is the way to go. More of this Curtis. Building living grocery stores where the market is might be a game changer.

Fantastic greenhouse system. I've plans to build a year-round greenhouse (aquaponics, water as a thermal mass, rammed earth & bermed northern walls, wide-area evaporative cooling, chimney effect, geothermal piping, interior thermal blanket, off-grid utilities), in the NE Washington scablands in the next couple of years, so it's great to see so many of the elements I want to incorporate in action in a cold climate. The biggest issue I'm working through is how to handle fungal and vermin infestations in such a greenhouse.

Very good video. This information is very important to me. I want to do traditional farming, but I want to do Aquaponic farming. If we go back over 2000, The Aztecs used something called Chinampas. The type that got my attention is the floating artificial island. They used to grow vegetables, and the used to move the islands to any place they needed. The soil of the island and the water enriched with the nutrients of the fish waste; make possible for them to grow enough food for millions of people.
