Request for 17 days in the yard (beside the compost bin)

I'd like to use a 1000 litre water tank for aquatic plants and for a vertical garden with a solar powered watering system, as explained in this video: https://youtu.be/kc0NmEN7UpQ
..the solar panels could also power the pump for the hydroponics garden

***If no one replies to this topic the request will be automatically approved within 7 days.***

Are you planning for this to be a permanent installation at the hackspace? Or is this going to be taken and used elsewhere?

[Edward Emanuel]

Hi Tom, as part of the Plantable Foundation I can reply to this. Michael and I have talked about how these facilities can work at the space, as a community space it's important that it remains part of that community. It's not intended to be permanent, but stay as long as members are happy. Any legumes, roots, herbs, vegetables, fruits etc grown with these facilities are intended to be used by the community, rather than go to waste, it would allow the community to become self sufficient for grown food and promote health and wellbeing within the community. It could be supplementary to bbqs or events at the space, or even be a source of garnishes for members without the time or inclination to shop at multinational conglomerates whose activities rob biomes globally. I hope you get the picture!
Feel free to air any other concerns or questions as they arise, we hope this is the start of a more green future for the space!
E.

Whos going to maintain it?

[Henry Sands]

That sounds more like an infrastructure project than a storage request, tbh.

the Plantable Initiative (currently Eddie and myself) will maintain it ..I agree that it sounds a bit more like an infrastructure project ...when the plants are growing nicely we'll certainly consider leaving them in the yard for everyone to enjoy ^_^

make sure you don't loose it 

Actually if it is kept in good order and not abandoned after 17 days am OK with it

If it's still in the Space, pleaes could you extend the storage request?

Thanks,
Mike.

[Dave Mansfield]

Is there any update on this?

[Lex Robinson]

One of these has been cut in half and each half filled with water then abandoned in the yard.

I don't know if it's from this project or not.

sorry nothing has been updated to far ..I'll be working on the aquaponic system all day tomorrow, when I expect to make a new storage request, hopefully for something resulting in Hackspace infrastructure!

Request for 22 days in the yard (beside the compost bin)

[Dave Mansfield]

Is the plan to remove this on the 6th of August?

[Dave Mansfield]

Can we get an update (or please update the storage ticket if already removed)

[Michael Trew]

Things have taken a bit longer than expected but the good news is that Eddie and I will definitely get the aquaponic system up and running next week.

I’ll be at the space all day this Saturday (Hack the Space Day), so then we can discuss the possibility of attaching our system to the existing hydroponic garden to become Hackspace infrastructure (otherwise we’ll remove it when the request expires).
