Growing up on the farm...vertical gardening.

July 2, 2016
Space is at a premium all over the world not to mention at The Floating Farm.  We have started working on ways to go up instead of out.  Our seeds are starting to come in full force and we have to strategically place them so that we are able to grow them upwards and not necessarily outwards

We are beginning to sprout a number of things and as the roots begin to dig into the soil and stabilize things, we are thinking about how to start growing up on the farm.  The key is stability and looking at how we can put more thing up on the platform rather than wide.

To conserve space and weight we have been using crates.  They are solid and uniform, a lot like the oil containers we used for the DIY Earth Boxes from Meet Me On The Water

There are thousands of these crates thrown in the trash every day.  We are saving them form the trash stream and they are the perfect framework for walls and allowing us to manage the light and heat for the plants.

Would you like to help us grow up?

You contribution goes to help to helping us build more of the floating farm!
