When I told my friends about living in renovated abandoned CONTAINERS they laughed at me. In fact my next lab for spawn production will be in a container

My university has a freight farm (vertical column structure) and they get student volunteers from the earth club to help with running it and one uni employee to overlook it all. it grows leafy greens that get sold in a salad bar in one of the university's restaurants. they broke up the work into three parts, seeding, transplanting, and harvesting. it was incredibly easy to learn and the training was only an hour long. I'm short and not very strong and I worked my shift with another girl of the same stature and we managed to get everything we needed to do done within our time frame. we even got to listen to music through a iPad and speaker set up in the container lol. i think it was a super cool experience and that more schools should look into getting one.

It occurs to me it would be beneficial to find a combination of mushroom and plant that require similar growing conditions so each could benefit from the oxygen/co2 of the other

I expect to start growing in two 40 foot containers. microgreen spices and salad in one. mushrooms in one with two rooms. on the roof I thought I had a cultivation tunnel for cucumbers and tomatoes. is it possible to take advantage of co2

This is the same setup that we use. With 1 20ft container we produce 20-30 lbs a week.

Fantastic content as usual! I can't remember where I saw it, but in Paris they use unused dead spaces, specifically underground car park spaces to grow mushrooms and greens. In London and the rest of the UK there will be tons of spaces that are just sitting empty where someone can create such an operation. Like disused underground tunnels.

For future reference, use less water and control temperature in shipping containers with solars for off grid on harsh continents. Make more shipping containers/establish indoor farming system. Food will be scarce!

You remind me of a young Ray Davies! Thank you so much for this great info!

Great job sir...you can also do as I have thought of which is a wood frame covered in chicken wire and then cover it in clay and straw to the thickness you need for your climate...you can build 50 of these for the price of one container...then redirect funds to instrumentaion and controls for total automatic growing. You are a great instructor...

yeah for 130k, you can get one too, or make one for less than 400.

What is the best system for controlling the temps in shipping containers? Especially since I have hot summer months, and cold winters.. what would be the best way to control the temps?

Hi , did i here you right had mushrooms let off co2 and if plants need it wouldn't be a good idea to feed the air from one that needs to get rid of and the other counter needs it happy days, cheers.justin

Are there any building permits needed to place a container in a city?

semi rig trailers are cheaper ans have higher roofs and are insulated already .

Extremely useful information. I don't even know how many channels about mushroom growing that I'm subscribed to, but this one is very quickly becoming my favorite, and I just found it less than one day ago. *lol*

How much did your shipping containers cost/where did you get them from?

Great idea. How much does it cost in USA dollarz.....where can you get one? If not applied to mushrooms, it would also make good storage and whatnot work shed for hobbies and such. I've seen people turn them into living quarters and such.

hello there am an agriculture engineer i started my small mushroom farm since 2016 and am so happy to see your tutoring videos actually i was wounding about the bag dimensions you are using, my name is Labeeb and am from Syria glad to find you 😊

Do the mushrooms themselves bplst the co2? If so to what levels? Is it emitted during both lights on and off or one or the other. Kinda makes sense to port put this co2 duced up air to some sort of leafy crops.

Yup I'm in a super hot tropical area... very hard to lower temperature down to 22-32 Centigrade when out side is around 38-42

what are the capabilities off the reefer unit in these containers? is it suffice or would you need to install another split unit?

how are your mushroom bags off gassing during incubation. I do not see any patches

Thks & a DIY reefer trailer/container is the way to go

Hello, at minute 6:06 of the video, do you have any plans of the fruiting chamber? Do you have an explanation of how the products you have on the ceiling are installed?

Thanks for sharing this great episode! Cheers!

Awesome video! Mush love to your work!

Isn't this an old concept?

I love how you say food at the start of the video 🙂

Hello, Have you thought about using a 6inch x 7ft PVP pipe.. put holes throughout and have rubber caps? or covers and take them off and hang vertically. .. Much thinner on real estate than a bucket.. and very sturdy.

More friggen single use plastic

Love this. Please make more videos. 👍🌱🍄

Nice vid when through the other side hope to put 2 20 footers in garden

Hello there great video thanks a lot but I was wondering what you would need permit wise in the UK to put shipping containers in a farm that has no buildings just a land and how hard to get those permits thanks a lot

p.S what sort of yeilds would you be think from a 20 foot and 40 foot containers, thanks justin.

Aquaponics.

Your videos are so informative and very well done. Thank You!
