GREENHOUSE SET UP

In early September 2017 we collected all of our components for the fist of 4 set ups and built a stand to hold it.

The set up included a 75 gallon stock tank, 3-7" & 3-5" deep grow beds with an ebb and flow drain set up in each. The system is set up with 2-250GPH  pond pumps and a 7 watt air pump with 4 outlets supply 2 bubble bars (1-8" & 1-16".)


 

All the electrical components are set up on a single strip power supply.  Half the strip is set to run off a timer programmed to run the water pumps on 15 minutes and off 45 minutes.

   

Initially the system was primed  with the water from our test pond with a single 12" catfish.  We added 6- 6" catfish & 12-4" sunfish from our stock pond to offset the size and volume needed to support the 6 grow beds.  The grow beds were filled with starter plants of okra, zucchini, tomatillo, peppers and basil.
