What does the interior of the Portable Farm™ look like?
Question: How do plants grow in beds of gravel? Answer: It’s quite simple really. The seeds are planted in small peat pots and as soon they sprout, they’re placed in the grow trays filled with gravel. The nutrient-rich water from the fish tanks is circulated through the growing trays. When the roots outgrow the peat pots, they extend into the gravel of the grow trays. Question: What can I grow? Answer: In the 6’x8′ Portable Farm™, you can grow nearly any vegetable that produces greens. This includes lettuce, kale, basil, onions, mustard greens, parsley, cilantro, many varieties of peppers, chamomile, chives, mint (of all kinds), sage, catnip, lavender, marjoram, oregano, thyme, lemon balm, etc. In a 10’x20′ Portable Farm™, you have more growing space and you can grow far more varieties of vegetables such as squash, peas, cabbages, eggplants, zucchini, kale, Brussels sprouts, all varieties of peppers, broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, Swiss chard, and even certain varieties of bush beans.
