The Farm in a Box™ is a great way to grow plants organically.
The Farm in a Box was invented by Earth Solutions in 2009 and has been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and on Good Morning America. It is an aquarium aquaponic system that grows plants in a soil-less rock bed above a glass fish aquarium. The fish poop and ammonia floods the plant bed every hour on a timer and fertilizes the plants. The rocks also filter the water for the fish so no additional water treatment is necessary. This is a great way enjoy fish and grow plants indoors without having to worry about watering schedule or nutrients. Simply feed the fish and let the timer manage the watering intervales. Great for schools, spas, homes and small patios and apartments. For integrated commercial aquaponic systems see our friends at the Food Plant. Grow strawberries, lettuces, microgreens, wheatgrass and more. See our YouTube video page for more ideas. The flooding and draining removes the ammonia from the fish tank and becomes a fertilizer that feeds the plants, naturally.
