Site Requirements:
Level and Sturdy Surface:
This farm requires a flat, level surface (maximum 3% grade) to support its weight (around eight tons). This could be pavement, concrete, trap rock, or a surface reinforced with sonotubes.
Space:
The footprint of the farm itself is minimal, but you'll need enough space to maneuver it during placement and for access during operation. Aim for a level area of approximately 50 feet by 10 feet.
Utilities:
A connection to standard utilities is necessary for operation. This includes:
Electricity: To power the LED lights, climate control systems, and other electrical components.
Water: A water connection is needed to fill the hydroponic system and provide water for the plants.
Drainage: A drain is required for excess water runoff from the hydroponic system.
