Portable Farms
In the basic PFAS without supplemental lights, a 100-watt solar setup with MPPT and deep cycle battery will run a medium (up to 200 sg. ft.) Portable Farm. The basic solar-electrical system means the water will circulate, the air pumps will run continuously, and the heaters will keep the water at a reasonable temperature for the fish in the tank. You will need to size the solar much larger if you use grow lights of any kind. 10 Gallon Fish Tank, Deep Cycle Battery, Aquaponics System, Air Pump, Grow Lights, Water Pumps, Solar Panels, Heater, Free Food

The maximum comfortable distance for a person to reach across at counter-height is a width of 36 inches (1m), so a grow tray with only one side exposed can only be 36 inches wide. For a grow tray with both sides facing an aisle the maximum width can be six feet (1.85m). The aisles need to be a minimum of 30 inches (.76m) for comfort and safety The grow trays are restricted to 200 sq ft due for ease of working with aisles and carrying harvested vegetables out to the building.

Plants can only utilize approximately 70% of direct sunlight. On the inside of a greenhouse, the temperature will rise very quickly as the sun climbs up into the sky. All greenhouses exhibit this rapid rise in temperature as the angle of the sun decreases. Even in very cold climates, the sun, on a clear day, can drive the temperatures from below freezing to the mid-60’s (15 to 20°C) very quickly. It most greenhouses, the problem is what to do with the heat and how to best utilize it for the good Winter Greenhouse, On A Clear Day, Rainwater Harvesting, Very Cold, Deep Winter, Gardening Advice, Summer Is Coming, Water Conservation, Rainfall

Few people will EVER TRY Steam Powered Aquaponics, but IT IS POSSIBLE! YES, IT’S ALSO UGLY but it is possible.

The Portable Farms® Aquaponics Systems are designed to lift all of the fish waste out of the fish tank. The Control Panel moves the water from the fish tanks twice a day (like flushing a toilet)to an area where the solids (think ‘tiny poops’) are moved into in a ‘separate’ tank After the tiny poops have been ‘flushed’ out of the fish tank, the clear water, with the nutrients from the fish waste (without the tiny poops), flows to the head of the Grow Tray.

A very solid rule of thumb on the cost of a PFAS Module which includes the grow trays, the fish tanks and all of the related lumber, pipe, liner and the PFAS Kit, is US$2,100 per Module. A 10,000 sq ft installation will contain 28 to 32 Modules depending on the specifics of the layout. Lumber, Fish Tanks, Rent, Backyard, Layout

The majority of the food grown in Portable Farms® MUST be sold and not given away to those in need. Why? Because the focus of donor funding always shifts, over time, to various causes and if (for whatever reason) the funders or donors who are supplying the money for the ongoing costs of labor, water, electricity, etc., required to operate a Portable Farm decide to reallocate that funding to another cause, the aquaponics system will eventually fail.
