Sometimes a great idea comes from a chance encounter. Carole Crimivaroli and her husband George were looking to buy a larger home with some acreage. The house they found in New York's Hudson Valley came with a greenhouse, and the family decided to begin raising hydroponically grown tomatoes.

what type of tomatoes do you grow for restaurants? why did my beefsteak tomatoes seem too soft?

Hydroponics is a good system but it also have some disadvantage, you need to purchase some "plant food", nutrition and supplements which may be high-priced. Before building any hydroponics system, you need to look at the benefit from aquaponics system, which can automate 95% of work.

Hopefully big agriculture doesn't find a way to shut them down by influencing the state department of agriculture like they do time and again.

After 31 years driving truck I am looking forward to working in my greenhouse and do the same as you!!!

About just about everything except how one can actually grow plants and fruit successfully via hydroponics. Instead we have an add for their products.

I grow duckweed for my fish and chickens plus red worms, crickets they breed fast and chickens love them duckweed has 60% protein vitamins. I use my cut plants and that to make methane gas to burn, use the liquid and solid compost for water in very small amounts and also have a rocket stove with a Stirling generator on it that pumps and make energy great thing it heats the place also...Then my two 15 watt solar panels and home made wind turbine...I over produce

1:43 As you can see from that list he was adding in Nitrates/fertilizer artificially. I doubt that they come from organic sources, I mean I don't know of an entity that produces their Nitrate from organic sources because its not feasible and its harder. I have nothing against inorganic farming btw unless the farmers doesn't grow his crops in bucket loads of insecticides and that kind of stuff.

yes! :) Actually, I'm going to video doc the next set of plants, however, dont expect any weed! Actually, got any ideas for herbs? I was thinking of growing Arugula maybe some Chard, I love Chard

amazing, these are the farms of the future (and now)... you can grow healthy plants 365days a year inside using MI lights, HPS and MH are old and inefficient. Just google "biosonictech" and look at the PAR spectrum those lights offer. MI is the way to go.

Add fish, remove the chems and your back to organic. :) P.S. Mommas eating more than fresh vegies!

Me too, well, I'm no IT, but I'm a Photovoltaics technician, a Massage Therapist and stuff, and before that I worked with my Dad's Company and my Uncle's company in landscaping and gardening. I also have been planing on living self sustainably.
