Pros and Cons of Light Movers in an Indoor Grow
We share some of our experiences with using light movers. Our farm is an indoor aquaponic tower farm. We raise our plants naturally with nutrients provided by our walleye. Light movers help our grow environment maintain a minimal carbon footprint and healthy canopy for our plants.

In this video we share our story of why we chose to raise walleye, the pros and cons of raising walleye, and list how we maintain high quality water for fish. Check out our website for more info. Thanks for watching!
Aquaponic Tower Farm Tour: Aqua Garden
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
Welcome to Aqua Garden. We are an aquaponic facility in Wisconsin, USA. We grow walleye, fresh herbs, and lettuce. Our system is made up of 224 aeroponic towers. Each tower houses 52 plants. Want to learn how to grow like us? Comment any questions you may have or visit our website for more information: www.aquagardenllc.com
Are there benefits or drawbacks of using a cradle barn?
So after the waste water is filtered and delivered to the towers, is that water then returned to the fish tanks automatically?
Our system is decoupled, so once the water enters the plant loop, it will not return to the fish
@@aquagardenllc is there a reason for the decoupling? Would the return water be harmful to the fish?
Do you know if you can grow hot peppers vertically, and if so, do you happen to know the ideal indoor lighting conditions and if the lights you use would be sufficient?
Please keep making videos! This is great stuff!
Learned about your business from agrotonomy. Would love to learn how i can implement a similar system have yall considered creating a course? Are yall able or willing to teach how yall did this? What products were used, where u source your growing medium About us: Extra unrelated info We are hoping to use a growing medium we can either reuse, create, or locally source that isnt dependent on on demand delivery system in case we run into a c19 situation again
Hello! We are absolutely willing to share and help others put together a system like ours. Check out our website www.aquagardenllc.com That has some information, but also a contact page if you’d like to set up a meeting.
@@aquagardenllc thank you ! Looking fwd to connecting in the future!
Can’t wait to see more videos - especially how you circulate the water from the fish pond to plants.
Very cool way to help create urban farming. I’m curious what kind of lights are you using?
How much does something like this cost
Thanks for sharing and I wish you all good luck in this new venture. Surprised you did not additionally opt for catfish, as they are also hardy air breathers, and are a secondary source for producing lots more fish waste water for fertigation purposes.
If that amount of plants were on a typical flat farm, how much space would it take to produce the same amount of harvest you get? How big is your space by comparison? Another thing I always wondered is if aeroponic or hydroponic growers harvest their entire system at one time or do you stagger it so that you always have plants in various stages of growth? What was the cost to put together your system and does it make a good profit? How do you find buyers for your produce? I know that was a lot of questions but they are all things that I would bet others would like to know.
Great questions, we appreciate your comment. 1. Each tower only requires approximately one square meter to hold 52 plants. Whereas you may be able to fit 12 plants (lettuce/herbs) in the same space while growing in soil. 2. We rotate our crops. On average we have 4 generations of plants in the towers at one time. As we grow most varieties for 4 weeks before harvest. 3. Being in our first year, we are not yet profitable. But have plenty of growing capacity to get there. We are just needing to land a few more accounts. 4. We sell to local restaurants, groceries, and have our facility open to the public. We also provide products to a couple programs in the state that get fresh produce to less fortunate people and are working to get our online sales up and running. Feel free to reach out if you want further detail on any of the questions.
Sad to hear that you use Peat Moss. Peat Moss is not sustainable.
Our older cohort average about a pound. The younger cohort average about half a pound.
How big are the walleye🐟
