The last few weeks we have been working hard to get our grow room up and running and we now have our first seedlings planted. Teryl Chapel of the Koru collaborative is working with us to install what will be the first of many big changes here at Page. By starting seedlings in our grow room on our New VOAS (Vertically Oriented Aquaponic System) we will later have the ability to transplant the new growth to our rooftop garden, green wall and eventually into our kitchen to be prepared into a healthy, fresh and delicious meal. The VOAS uses artificial light, water & fish. The natural nutrients being produced by the fish cycle through the grow beds where the plants feed off the water which then goes back to the fish. Additionally we have installed Zip Grow towers along the wall of the grow room. These towers will also be part of the aquaponic cycle utilizing drip irrigation. Fish feed plants....plants clean water...plants and fish both thrive.
