A
All
right
people,
so,
let's
start
and
a
little
change
of
pace.
In
fact,
it's
something
quite
exciting,
because
the
aquaponic
greenhouse
something
to
it
all
right
so
welcome
to
neil
and
richard.
A
But
yeah,
let's,
let's
dive
right
into
it,
so
it's
gonna
be
a
pretty
packed
five
days.
We've
got.
You
know
the
whole
build
from
the
structure
to
the
living
systems
and
some
automation.
So
it's
quite
a
quite
a
treat.
I
was
just
looking
at
reviewing
all
the
work
that
we
did
and
we
should
start
there
to
get
a
perspective
for
what
the
possibilities
are.
The
possibilities
are
still
grand,
as
ever
I
mean
the
productivity
that
we've
observed
and
we're
we're
still
keeping
data
on
on
a
project.
A
A
You
can
find
anywhere
in
the
world
on
the
topic,
and
I
kind
of
remind
myself
that
by
looking
at
all
the
footage
now
I'll
go
through
all
that,
but
just
for
perspective,
it's
you
still
can't
find
any
good
documentation
like
in
terms
of
like
a
working,
viable,
economically
productive
system.
A
A
So
it's
a
huge
huge
level
of
integration
and
innovation
that
has
to
happen
and
whoever
operates
it
has
to
be
highly
skilled
if
they
do
it
at
the
kind
of
level
that
we
do
so
obviously,
there's
some
blocks
to
learning
and
information
and
yeah.
So
I
mean
just
as
we
start
make
sure.
I'm
recording
that,
as
we
start
just
just
think
about
think
about,
like
you
know,
what
can
we
all
do
to
make
this
better
and
to
our
specific
goals?
Next
step
would
be
to
do
a
viable
production
business.
A
A
A
That's
if
you
take
a
look
at
the
productivity
of
a
greenhouse
like
a
csa
style
thing,
amazing,
okay
and
then
that's
one
potential
that
we
can
develop
as,
like
you
know,
even
right
here
you
can
deliver.
You
know,
grow
your
stuff
and
and
deliver
to
local
customers,
and
that's
not
even
talking
about
things
like
the
cash
cash
cows,
like
like
the
the
greens,
the
micro
greens,
like
we
actually
haven't
done
micro
greens
in
a
in
our
greenhouse
that
could
be
added
to
it.
A
A
And
how
far
can
we
get
to
a
to
an
economically
viable
model
that
people
can
replicate,
because
once
you
can
show
that
you
know
say
like
a
thousand
bucks,
you
know
like
if
you
sell
one
lettuce
plant
at
a
dollar,
you
know
a
thousand
bucks
a
month
right
there,
not
counting
fish
or
anything
else.
Just
just
say
from
the
greens.
You
know
yeah,
there's,
there's
huge
potential
so
before
going
further
yeah,
let's
just
go
around
like
what.
What
are
your
goals
for
the
aquaponics?
A
We
are
going
to
go
from
ground
up
full
build,
so
the
glazing,
the
the
structure,
the
ponds,
the
towers,
there's
a
bunch
of
subsystems
that
we
can
decide
on
which,
which
ones
we
want
to
do
and
then
automation
both
for
watering
and
actually
planting.
We
do
have
parts
for
automated
seating
and
we
can
run
that
off
our
universal
access
system,
for
example.
So
that's
that's
an
option
we
have
so
yeah.
I
want
to
see
how
far
this
time.
A
Actually
it's
going
to
be
one
of
these
things
where
we
build
it,
just
like
the
house
and
it's
going
to
be
for
repeat
workshops.
So,
basically,
thinking
about
three
month
cycles,
where
we
grow
it
and
possibly
even
leave
it,
it's
only
going
to
be
a
16
by
16
with
all
the
systems,
but
the
next
time
around.
Maybe
we
build
the
next
one
while
the
the
old
one
is
operating
and
people
can
see
that
at
work
so
that
we're
kind
of
shifting
one
to
the
other
for
successive
workshops.
A
So
it's
going
to
be
one
of
those
things
that
are
more
modular,
so
kind
of
thinking
more
like
okay.
How
can
we
pop
up
a
greenhouse
like
if
we
have
all
those
parts,
all
the
modules
we
can
readily
pop
up
a
greenhouse
say
we
need
to
produce,
for
you
know,
lettuce
for
and
greens,
for
the
kitchen
and
stuff
like
that.
So
it's
like
ex
also
exploring
the
modularity
aspect,
because,
just
like
with
the
with
the
house,
we're
going
with
a
well
something
that
we're
disassembling
and
making
more
and
more
modular.
A
So
thinking
about
like
as
we
build
it
well,
don't
build
it
yeah,
build
it
more
more
in
a
way
that
more
modular,
just
more
modular
so
that
you
have
more
options
like
in
terms
of
flexibility
with
it
yeah
so
that
that's
a
goal.
So,
let's,
let's
actually
go
around
so
and
introduce
ourselves
for
the
new
people
and
maybe
your
goals
or
how
long
you're
staying
as
far
as
this
workshop
is
concerned
or
or
the
longer
term
campus.
C
Right,
hi,
richard
all
right
I'll,
be.
E
But
yeah.
E
D
Building
my
building
my
own
home
and
then
I
landed
in
arizona,
and
I
also
want
to
recreate
the
desert,
and
so
the
greenhouse
feels
interesting
to
me
to
there's
lost
sunshine.
There's
like
300
days
of
sunshine,
in
arizona
and
I'm
interested
in
cb
and
and
everything
I
wanted
to
build
the
tractor
and
all
of
that
too.
So
how.
B
Hi
folks,
richard
just
got
here
last
night
and
we'll
be
here
for
21
days
through
the
end
of
the
larger
3d
printer
to
build
and
then
I'll
come
back
for
the
cd
roll
till
november.
Have
some
land
in
mississippi
want
to
build
a
community
and
get
some
skills
get
some
ideas?
Get
some
network
and
yeah
just
have
a
lot
of
fun.
So
this
is
my
vacation
time
for
crying
out
loud.
A
D
F
G
G
Why
hydroponics,
as
opposed
to
aquaponics,
just
because
of
the
space
I
haven't,
won
like
a
third
of
an
acre
with
a
house
on
it.
So
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
space
for
fish.
So
I
think
yeah
hydroponics
is
kind
of
easier
with
space.
Yeah
and
you
know,
all
I
have
to
do
is
just
add
the
chemicals
for
the
for
the
feed
of
food
for
the
plants.
But
when.
A
G
B
Well,
just
because
you
asked
him,
I
was
curious,
why
you
did
choose.
You
know
like
aquaponics
versus
hydroponic
versus,
like
aeroponics.
In
terms
of
that
was
a
wrap
that
I
considered
you
know
going
with.
You
know
water
scarcity
and
just
efficiency
things
like
that,
at
least
for
some
things.
Obviously,
you
can't
use
aeroponics
for
everything,
but
for
a
greenhouse.
A
Yeah
we
did
both
and
based
on
the
results
of
each
we're
going
with
the
aquaponics
as
a
more
robust
systems.
I'll
talk
I'll,
show
you
what
we
did
before
ken.
C
B
H
My
main
interest
is
housing
independence
for
myself
and
then
from
there.
That
is
the
stability
needed
to
do
things
without
the
rest
of
the
world.
So
I
started
with
that,
and
I
just
I
worked
with
merchant
on
an
organic
farm
like
what,
like.
H
And
and
I
just
sort
of
kept
up
with
what
he's
done
online
and
sort
of
watched
osc
from
afar
and
have
always
wanted
to
come
down
here
up
here
and
clean
what
I
could
and
that's
what
I'm
doing.
It's
a
great
great
experience.
A
Okay,
so
a
bit
of
overview,
let's
see
what
do
we
got
for
over
so
anyway,
as
far
as
the
the
five
days,
so
we
got
five
days
to
do
what
we
can
structure
is
day.
One
we're
gonna,
do
16
by
16
we'll
talk
about
that
ponds.
Yes
ponds
and
fish
we'd
like
to
do
actually
trout.
So
we
have
to
pick
up
some
trout
if
you
want
to
do
that,
trout
is
cold
weather,
so,
unlike
tilapia
tilapia,
they
die
off.
A
If
you
don't
heat
in
the
winter
or
if
you
get
into
low
temperatures,
so
we
can
do
the
trout
and
have
this
we're
going
to
try
to
see
how
long
into
the
winter
it
can
survive,
and
we
also
have
the
option
of
actually
injecting
some
some
just
heaters
as
in
electric
heaters,
because
we've
got
a
whole
bunch
of
pv
that
we
might,
we
can
connect
up
to
it
photovoltaics
if
we
want
to
so
that's
the
pond
towers
beds.
Gutters
shelves
like
towers.
A
That's
also
a
part
of
the
waste
filtration
system
shelves
I'll
talk
more
about
shelves,
but
shelves
that
can
be
watered
that
once
again,
like
all
this
was
with
intent
of
use
vertical
space
like
shelves
I'll
show
you
what
we
did
with
shelves,
how
that
that
looks,
and
then
we
can
do
on
a
fifth
day,
yeah
and
there's
more
here,
there's
like
worms,
there's
warm
towers,
mushrooms,
that's
what
we've
got
spawn
and
stuff.
A
We
can
set
that
up,
but
I'll
talk
more
about
the
construction
set
for
what
we
can
do
here:
automation,
watering
and
planting.
So
actually,
it
turns
out
that
the
like
the
seed
injector
is
just
an
injector
pump
and
an
xy
motion
system
xyz
motion
system,
so
we
can
do
that
readily
off
our
universal
axis
system,
plus
a
small
vacuum
pump,
plus
needle
sets
and
a
little
3d
printed
mount
for
that.
A
So
we
can
add
the
cedar
head
as
well
to
our
website
as
one
of
the
implements
for
the
universal
access
all
right,
so,
first
of
all
main
wiki
page.
Let's
look
at
what's
been
done
before
this
is.
This
is
actually
man
this.
If
you
dig
into
this
page,
there's
a
ton
of
stuff
here
and
let's
talk
about
first-
maybe
like
what
the
promise
was.
I'm.
H
B
A
Course
will
be
in
an
integrated
system
like
this
with
100
biological
control.
It
will
be
the
integrated
pest
management.
So,
to
this
end,
we've
invited
one
of
the
leaders
in
the
field
of
biological
pest
management
ron
whitehurst
and
to
complete
our
strategy
on
on
health
of
the
greenhouse,
we're,
including
compost,
tea
brewing
and
a
build
of
a
brewer
as
part
of
this
build
open
source,
ecology,
we're
plot
pioneering
the
concept
of
we
call
extreme
manufacturing.
A
It's
a
rapid
swarm
based
build
with
multiple
teams
working
in
parallel
building
multiple
modules
at
the
same
time,
to
allow
an
incredibly
rapid
build
such
as
this
800
square
foot
greenhouse
in
a
period
of
three
days
and
then
another
three
days
to
install
the
biological
systems
yeah.
So
that
I
mean
that's
that
still
is
like
effective
build
times.
A
A
A
A
The
black
soldier
flight-
we
just
couldn't,
do
it
the
guys
that
so
we
were
doing
the
black
soldier
fly
and
that
we
we
were
promised
some
guys.
Collaborators
came
over
saying:
okay,
we'll
teach
you
how
to
do
that.
There's,
there's
refined
techniques
for
how
you
actually
get
the
prop,
at
least
from
what
we
hear
how
you
propagate
them,
because
yeah
you
can
do
them,
but
then
they'll
they
need
to
breed
and
they
need
very
specific
conditions.
So
we
never
got
to
that
that
information,
because
it
turned
out
the
guys
wouldn't
share
it.
A
So
we
yeah-
I
mean
this
kind
of
stupid
stuff
once
again
like
you
need
this
amazing
integration
and
you
need
those
critical
elements
of
how
you
actually
make
that
work.
You
know
you
can
make
a
crappy
system,
but
the
really
really
good
stuff,
that's
precious,
so
we
so
if
anybody's
got
the
bsf
know
how
let
us
know.
I.
H
A
And,
like
you
can
probably
like,
do
you
think
like
even
like,
if
you
talk
about
feeding
the
fish,
because
there's
external
inputs
either
grass
or
like
whatever
you
put
in
there
but
like,
could
bug
lights,
feed
the
fish
too
like
or
does
that
completely
fry
the
the
bug
I
don't
know,
but
maybe
there's
some
innovation
system.
A
A
So,
if
you'd
like
to
see
this
entire
build
from
start
to
finish,
then
please
sign
up
for
the
workshop
thanks
for
listening,
yeah
peter
mccoy
helped
us
on
the
mushroom
part,
so
he
wrote
the
book
called
radical,
mycology,
no
or
yeah,
or
what
is
that
that
guy,
so
he's
really
cool
and
then
ron
whitehurst
helped
us
on
integrated
pest
management.
So
we
got
into
a
lot
of
them.
There's
some
some
good
things
you
can
do
for
things
that
would
otherwise.
