Omega Garden Carousel

http://www.omegagarden.com

The Omega Garden™ Carousel is our answer to commercial-scale urban agriculture.

Each carousel carries six, 8ft. long Omega Gardens™; equalling as much as 1500 sq. ft. of greenhouse yet only using 150 sq. ft. of floor space, including access!

This is a fully automated system. Each rotating garden is in turn rotated on the carousel down to the water/feeding tray at floor level, minimizing plumbing, while providing easy access.

This unit can be operated in an insulated structure in any climate, with unprecedented efficiency.

This is great, especially because farmland here in the netherlands is increadably expensive, think about it, greenhouses filled with these in stead of 1 flat survace. and the great thing about palnts and greenhouses is you can fill them with co2 (plants just love the stuff) and with these carbon emission's that are already "fed" to these plants could grow exponentialy... litterally transforming co2 into food...

i can't believe we do not already do this BIGTIME..

@59acres if you filled a field with these, they would produce like 12 times as much as the field could using less water lol

As far as plants must compensate the gravity, they are producing more roots and leaves (you can qualify this as a growth gain). But the drawback of this is the very poor production of fruits !!

If you take a moment to go to the website listed in the info section, it answers all your questions. Sheesh people, do some self directed research. Do you have to be spoon fed everything in this world? lol.
