[quote:Eat the Rich 19517986:MV8xOTIyOTEyXzMyMjA2MTIxXzhFRTIyRUQ2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 13921708:MV8xOTIyOTEyXzMyMjAzODAyXzFERDJENjUz] [quote:Eat the Rich 19517986:MV8xOTIyOTEyXzMyMTk2MTUyX0QzMkVGOTc0] Thanks guys. I think it will allow new business models in farming. With new ways of financing. I'm already about to start with a business plan for a quality farm. [/quote] I hope you will take some time to look into the concept of aquaponics. A large tank grows fish which can be harvested for eating, and they in turn create a nutrient-rich water which is used to support the growth of vegetables, so you get the fish AND the vegetables for about twenty minutes of work a day. This link is in English: http://portablefarm.com/farm/ Here is the same website en Espanol: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=en&tl=es&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fportablefarm.com%2Ffarm&act=url [/quote] Thanks, I just learned about aquaponics on a fish tank a couple of weeks ago. It is a very interesting concept, especially for urban applications. A used cargo container is a perfect pool to start with. I live in a rural area with a lot of shallow sweet water. Our main well is about 60m and produces 10.000 liters a day easily, supplying 4 houses, several big cisternas. We even have some springs in the neighborhood. Its a great concept even here, with all the fish on top and no fertilizer needed. We usually use sheep manure, very good. [/quote]
