  • There is a NY restaurant that produces all it's vegetables and herbs using vertical hydroponics on it's roof top. Just imagine if it uses Verticrop systems or the improved vertical Mittleider system. That restaurant can produce all it needs and recycle all it's wastes using Living Machines and others to be self-contained by producing it's own certified GE-FREE seeds, fertilizer, natural pesticides, bio-energy, etc. The investments can in mere months and huge savings achieved in less than a year.

  • With additional improvements made by the techniques of Professor John Todd's Living Machines combined with aquaponics and anaerobic diatomaceous earth tank reactors combined with hydroponics and an engineered marsh that produces clean air, water, and food, and using the city's wastes as a resource w/c is sterilized by biological means by the Living Machines, plus others like Bengal hydroponics, Wroclow hydroponics, Improved Mittleider hydroponics (the cheapest and safest), etc. Food security!

  • Producing food inside an urban center is less energy intensive because food does not have to be transported hundreds or thousands of miles away. Using vertical agriculture like Verticrop producing in a 50' x 75' area as much food as a 16 acre farm. that can produce in a 50' x 75' area as much food as a 16 acre farm, then imagine what a 45 story high building wt 1 acre of floor space area & designed to allow sunlight to reach through and through deeply can produce?

  • I am going to visit this guy. I want to know how he started and how I can emulate his work. This guy is a hero in the truest sense of the word. A mentor for us all.

  • I sure wish there was a "Growing Power" here in the inner city of San Antonio Texas :)

  • do you have a special usage for the solar panels? such as your water pumps, lights, heaters or what,, please share this thought with your readers,, thanks!

  • @grandmastermicochero On a different clip it says the solar panels are to heat water.

  • This gives me hope for the future. I generally lean to conservative but Glen Beck, Rush and especially Hannity SHove and learn what REAL people can accomplish!!! I hope this spreads!!!!!!!!!

  • @Reybo The reason you feel that way my friend is that party and left vs right are a thing of the past. The problems facing us face ALL of us. Time to stop dividing and start uniting. And isn't this just one friggin cool way to do it?
