We will be growing all year round and we must have sufficient conveyor of young plants to refresh out main grow beds.  Our seed beds will hold about 20,000 growing seeds which will be ready to plant to maintain stocks.

The majority of our crops will be leafy varieties which grow very quickly, however the others will take time so we need to ensure our time table for planting the seeds to the harvest is accurate and efficient.

The grow beds provide two functions; primarily to allow the plants to take up nutrients and secondly to purify the ammonia from the fish. Not all our plants will be growing in grow beds and we will use a vertical pipe system which is great for plants which have hanging fruit.  The water will still be processed the same way and filter through the growing medium in order to maintain our closed loop system.
