Does thinking of food laced with toxic pesticides and synthetic compounds kill your appetite? That's what industrial food production has brought to our tables - food that is hampering our health and creating havoc with the environment.

Formwork Systems: Better Greenhouses From the Ground Up

6:32 AM  ThanateTan  

If there's one thing that can be said about greenhouses it's the fact that there are many ways to create one. Whatever you plan to grow, whatever your budget, whatever your experience level, there is a plan for you. And if there's one thing that all of the good ones have in common it's the fact that all of them have good foundations, and that's where good formwork systems come into play. You might even say that without good formwork systems, everything you build on top of it is for naught.

Pumps are especially a problem. You often don't know they have stopped running unless you continually check them. (A computer sensor would come in handy here!) When was the last time you made a scheduled maintenance on your pumps?

Maybe you have a leak in your nutrient tank and don't know it. What if it goes dry on you? And suppose someone comes in and steals your Sodium or Halide lights? If you use lights, you need to know that they are prime targets for thieves.

And woe upon woe: what about a power failure? Do you have a backup for that? A power failure can put your timers out of whack. This can mess up your feeding and lighting schedules.
A computerized sensor system could help you avoid most of these problems. And even help correct them.
