And this is filtering at the same time, so if you see discharge here, you can filter clean water to turn back into it.
You can put it right on the back and do it to see the free virus.
I'll help you with it.
We've got water to clean, you can put it all in normally.
We've got a bathroom to clean.
You can turn it off with the chippings.
We've got discharge, lettuce above our heads.
On your side to the north, you've got probably some chard and beets.
You can set the arugula.
I'll put that out.
You've got some kale coming out of the wire heads.
There's some persanthemum in there.
You can crown your persanthemum here.
Not just for sages anymore.
There's some beautiful red cabbage up top here.
So is there one pump and a few?
A single pump.
So sort of the beauty and the ease of working with these systems.
A single pump is basically a sum.
You figure it's really only being brought up 10, 12 feet.
If it's 4 foot deep here and then up to the top, it doesn't need a whole lot of pressure.
So just bring that water up and let it flow through.
So there is a single pump.
You'll see one.
Explosive greenhouse forced.
Real, real basic sum.
It's in a cage.
It's just casually sucking off the bottom.
The water's a little murky.
We've got a whole lot of spawning.
A lot of eggs in the water.
I'm not seeing too many right now.
But you can figure it just pulling up out into these spray bars.
It's just passively flowing through it.
Excuse me.
But sort of the wild card filter plant.
As I mentioned, grass is heavy.
You can just pull that nutrient out of the soil or the water.
Watercress here acts as a combination filter plant of huge capacity.
I'm not seeing a whole lot of root mass here.
You'll see some out in the other greenhouses that just have a major root mass.
But you can figure, you know, that's just how we replant it.
So it doesn't have a whole lot of roots here.
But every node will want to re plant itself or root itself.
Excuse me.
I'll get my words on today.
But that watercress is really a great filter plant.
It's also selling for $16 a pound retail.
It's quite a hefty load here.
We're going to be able to harvest these greens continuously.
This is a beautiful dainty lines up path.
Everything that's in a system like this is going to be bottom watered.
The paths are sitting in a reservoir a couple inches deep.
Everything is outside of an apoptonic system going to be top watered.
Very labor intensive.
Very much the way we deal with pests is different.
We have to really keep in mind the integrity of the system.
So we'll talk about integrating pest management in the next greenhouse.
I have a question.
Are you going to have oxygen to the fish just through the...
There is a series of air stones.
I hope you can see that there.
We have a single compressor in the store.
It's pumping air from greenhouse 2 all the way to greenhouse 7.
So throughout all of these systems there's probably a series of...
I don't know, I'll say a dozen or so air stones for the large systems.
A couple of them for the smaller ones.
But in the old days we put you back down in the ground method
to splash when you have to activate the water.
And are you monitoring the oxygen levels then?
This is the only system that I'm actually doing data collection on.
So water, the chemistry, fish size, water temperature, quality of the filter plants
to transform the ammonium into the nitrite, nitrite balance.
You can get a nice little tap there.
Did you have a question?
Yeah, you said some of these plants are sitting in water, not sitting in water.
What about these plants that are just hanging everywhere?
Top watered.
You go around every day in water?
Every day, multiple times a day, especially on a sunny day, summertime.
There's pretty much one or two people watering constantly, the entire facility.
We've got 14 greenhouses and lots of vertical space.
So we have a whole lot of plants to maintain.
Did anyone have any other fish questions specifically?
We're going to see many more of these systems.
I just wanted to give you an idea sort of of the basics.
You'll see a larger system, smaller systems, but a highly productive one here.
We're going to head into the next greenhouse and talk about soil.
We're going to weigh into the banana.
You might have already.
Okay, this might gross some of you out, but it's one of the most exciting things
that growing plants are.
To peel this, it might be awful worms.
Ah, it sucks.
We're not there yet.
Give it a little bit of time.
These worms are going to penetrate and champ this thing up like crazy.
Back in there.
But basically what we want to do is remove the livestock from the product.
So then they're coming up top to eat at the point at which there's some young baby worms
and really, really small ones.
That's a good sign.
There might be some cocoons nearby.
We're going to remove these worms.
They're going to have worms in the harvest size.
That's a good one.
There you go.
About 9 to 12, right?
Yeah.
For the plate.
So that's a full ready to harvest perch.
The other two are a little bit smaller.
I'm going to toss them back in.
And we're going for $5.
Yeah, look.
It's good.
We even have them for six couple times.
Yeah.
For a while.
Oh yeah.
Good.
Excellent.
Wish you the best.
Yeah.
Yeah, these have been up for a while.
We've got a little bit of bucket storage and then our milking stand.
So we do have to help the ladies let down and they get very engorged.
A couple of our volunteers have been sold.
