Vertical Farming: Horizontal Plane vs Vertical Plane Production

1. have u ever heard of gravity
2. I have 2 inch pipes plenty available in my godown.can I use that or 3 inch pipe compulsory? please reply
3. 在同樣空間及同樣材料下.實施水平面VS垂直面生產.何者產量較佳?
4. scissor lifts? regulations? You are assuming that your only viewers are American. Some of us from outside of your quaint country use the metric system, like 95% of the rest of the world LOL. Also, here in Asia, you just use a guy with a bamboo ladder to shinny up between the rows, so you only need 3 of your feet (just under 1m) between rows to be able to harvest from 4m high stacked systems (13'4") Stacked is the way to go herein 3 sq ft we have 13 sq ft of growing space.
5. I'm building a large indoor farm in Vero Beach, Fl what would be the cost for a 12.500 sf area with your towers?
6. 2.6 vs 2.7 literally a 3% difference!!!! 3% doesnt make or break a business guy!
7. You are not getting 64 square feet using those vertical racks.
8. Jesus just get to the fcking point dude.
9. this method is only for green leafy not for the fruity vegetabes
10. Is there any such thing as vertical aquaponics? Aquaponics is a supreme solution to traditional gardening.
11. great stuff! how many kWh does your water pumps use per year apprx?
12. If I were to build a vertical farm, I would look at your math differently. If I wanted to know how much product I could get from a given space, my data would be in cubic feet (cubic feet of product by cubic feet of available space). That being said, vertical plane production is even for efficient; even if you were to take into account the space between floors in a multi-story building versus an open warehouse that you would need for horizontal plane farm (assuming the height of your product is the same). I will let the math to you,so you can confirm this independently. Before watching your video I had the faulty assumption that horizontal plane vertical farms were more efficient, thank you for your insight.
13. Hi. I quite like your system. Currently I am using the kratky method in my greenhouse due to having no access to power (just starting up) I thought about using the kratky method shallow water beds for lettuce production because it does not require power but in the future I'm thinking that this method may not work for large production. If I have a large greenhouse space in a rural area do you still recommend using a vertical system rather than taking up valuable floor space with nfp or water beds? Thanks! Chad
14. You have to physically visit each unit to harvest, transplant, etc. which makes it more energy intensive to automate. Frontal access water channels are more efficient for full automation. Growing predictable, low hight crops such as lettuce and Basil, you can eliminate the need for fully functional walkways and have tighter levels. The municipal bylaw is also avoided regarding the walkway if they don't hire employees, which is enabled by full automation. While your arguments are valid in commercial, large scale production, I believe owner-operated small scale systems are exempt from some of the conditions you explained. Both horizontal and vertical plane systems have their merits for different purposes, and I will say that the large horizontal plane systems I've seen are inefficient as the grow beds must also be visited individually rather than fed through a production line. You can grow more plants per sq. ft. using vertical plane, but you lose some automation efficiency and increase the upfront costs of automation vs. channels. I've settled on a horizontal plane configuration for my aquaponics shipping container greenhouse design, with a focus on reducing labour input and providing for owner operators. I believe that for less than the price of a vehicle, a person should be able to buy their freedom, there are many roads to this goal.
15. dumbass!
16. Now just automate this process and you'll have barely any worker cost.
17. 128/48 = 256/96 = 8/3 = 2.6666, so the floor space efficiency is the same between the two methodologies, those are with the numbers used in your video exactly.. Nice try tho.
18. lol 2.7 and 2.6 year right both are 8/3 u just seem to forget to round when it doesn't look so good for you
19. dam taking niggas to school m, thanks bro
20. Can you not hang half tubes above your head with a drop-down system(for the aisles)? Even less wasted space.
