An Urban Farm using…

“We pay 11 cents / kilowatt hr We sell at 22 cents / kilowatt hr”

We save rain water

The rainwater : Is collected from runoff from each of the greenhouse roofs Is stored in an underground tank for later use Can overflow into a field if there is too much

Goat Manure

Worm Castings

Fish Poo (waste)

To produce local produce

Greens for restaurants

Soil and Jobs

Aquaculture

Lumber

Water proof membrane

Basic Structure: Frame made of lumber Inner membrane to make the pond water tight Pump to add aeration and to move nutrients to the plant roots

Plants

Fish

Why do aquaculture in school?

Data Analysis

We can grow our own food!

Just plain interesting Interest

We just have to do what we saw

Growing Power
