Thank you Kevin another brilliant factual video. Gosh I feel like I am watching a sifi movie lol. I wonder if it felt weird for Kevin to be standing in it. Honestly I don't know how I feel about it, I am a ludite though lol. I can see the money potential as long as it's an addition I suppose to growing anything in fields as I love to see this and we need it for nature etc. I hate to sound thick but everyone keeps telling me not to buy peat as it's bad for the planet (I have not taken the time to research this myself. Here they use peat moss pods I'm not sure if that's the same as just peat, so I wondered if anyone could help me as to whether this is good for the planet as a growing material. Very thought provoking and interesting video thanks again for showing and educating us about this. Take care Natalie

Enjoyed watching the video. I prefer sowing and growing in natural soil, this is too artificial and fake. If we were meant to garden this way God wouldn't of created soil and because of this type of gardening being unnatural you don't know what effect the LED has on the plants nutrition and it may make those plants unhealthy to consume. I wouldn't feel comfortable eating plants that are produced this way just like I don't feel comfortable eating GMO foods.

Wow! What a cool tour. Super clean, organized, and hi tech set up. I would think that the concrete bridge adds some additional protection from the environment. Thanks for sharing! Also, my phone has the exact same cracks in it. Tripped me out for a sec.

Why put your PH sensors in the panels with the peristaltic pumps and not in the tank itself? Are you using OPC-UA with an SQL database to store to a cloud or an MQTT protocol and storing logged data on a local server?

Great idea for urban farming, but I have a few questions? Being in Boston, how are the plants hardened off for outdoor delivery/planting? And with vertical gardening, how does gravity play into the plant development?

Creating water doesn't really mean anything when you're using massive amounts of energy to do it. Greenies like taking credit for saving the world, but the never admit their participation in destroying it.

Cool. Im assuming calendulas because they can be sold for more than lettuce. How much power does a system use? All those Watts and BTUs. Can it draw its power from an urban grid and still make a profit?

Only issue with freight farm is their monthly fee they charge you to run the system. Thats not including the loans you took out to purchase the container farm in the first place

I love the technology but it saddens me that we have to resort to cubicles like this in crowded urban areas instead of being able to spread out and use natural sun and land.

This is pretty amazing - and it's placed in the middle of a concrete jungle on the outside: ) I'd love to see it when filled with plants.

Just as a fun comment, I am actually in talks with them to get one! I want to start my own business and this is right up my alley.

Really cool & perfect for extreme environments, but what a capital outlay! I think I'm going to stick to the old school way; )

Great to see where this tech is heading. There will be pests sooner or later, I'd be interested in that research.

Unnecessary over-engineered system making it prone to malfunction, high energy consumption and massive price.
