Vertical Hydroponics Plants Gardens and Insect Farm in Brmlab Hackerspace

Project Description

Using hydroponics principles in a compact vertical layout, this project combines sustainable methods of growing microgreens, lettuce, etc. The cultivation benefits both people and provides a sustainable food source for mealworms and grasshoppers in appropriate insect-rearing boxes.

The entire system runs eco-friendly, receiving energy from Brmlab's solar panels.

System Overview

Hydroponic Technology: This vertical farm utilizes a gravity-fed system in which nutrient-rich water is circulated from the top to ensure even distribution and then collected at the bottom.

Solar Power: Our vertical farm's water pump is powered by solar panels, which is an environmentally friendly choice. This ensures minimal reliance on traditional electricity and emphasizes our commitment to sustainability.

Produce and Livestock: We grow nutrient-rich greens, which in turn are used as feed for our colony of mealworms, ants and grasshoppers. This cyclical system emphasizes a holistic approach to urban farming.
