Green House Design

building a Green house------
--Shape&Size
(Note) Wood is to be used not Steel or aluminum Rods.

(Note) plastic cover used.

(note) large face to regulate temp.

(note ) possible shelf layout

(note) Suggested angles for placement of Roof pannals..

Pulmonary Design*

Note: Shape Will extrude to fit
Note: Orange cross is a 6' x 6' Marker

-Back Yards Size ?

-Size of green house ?

-Growing plots ?

-- Homeostasis
-Over night temp
--------------Fish Farming

Freshwater Aquaculture: A Handbook for Small Scale Fish Culture in North America, by William McLarney
















Basically, large plastic fish tanks are placed in a greenhouse.
A hydroponic bed is placed near, above or between them. When tilapia
are raised in the tanks, they are able to eat algae, which naturally grows
in the tanks when the tanks are properly fertilized.
The tank water is slowly circulated to the hydroponic beds
where the tilapia waste feeds a commercial plant crops. Carefully cultured
microorganisms in the hydroponic bed convert ammonia to nitrates,
and the plants are fertilized by the nitrates and phosphates. Other wastes
are strained out by the hydroponic media, which doubles as an
aerated pebble-bed filter.

The tank water is slowly circulated to the hydroponic beds where the tilapia
waste feeds a commercial plant crops. Carefully cultured microorganisms in the
hydroponic bed convert ammonia to nitrates, and the plants are fertilized by the
nitrates and phosphates. Other wastes are strained out by the hydroponic media,
which doubles as an aerated pebble-bed filter.This system, properly tuned,
produces more edible protein per unit area than any other. A wide variety of
plants can grow well in the hydroponic beds. Most growers concentrate on
herbs (e.g. parsley and basil), which command premium prices in small quantities
all year long. The most common customers are restaurant wholesalers.

(note) they will eat some filamentous alga!





--What to grow? & Grow cycles?

Summer& winter crop cycles with proper time to set up the seasons crop.
(note) seed under grow lights


(Possibly?)
Lettuces
pak choi
tatsoi
Chard (or Swiss chard)

Green onion
garlic
cabbages
broccoli

The List goes on...........
