Great video! So happy you did this on hydroponics! I've only grown in soil but I've heard this is such an amazing method, especially for increasing growth and yields. Thanks so much for sharing!

I’ve thought for a long time that people’s Roofs are wasted space and should be used to grow food, imagine walking down a street and seeing Greenhouses in every roof, collecting rainwater to irrigate plants. Then the water could be used a second time by running it down to the house for toilet flushing etc.
Very cool. But... I imagine the infrastructure for the one location must go into the 100ks of dollars. Seems well worth the investment though to bring super fresh nutrient dense food to urban areas. Much better than big ag model of shipping thousands of miles degraded food grown in polluted depleted soil using tons more water.
Yeah, definitely a large setup cost to get the greenhouse, the team, the tech, etc. I view models like this as the early pioneers of something that will become the "norm" in 10+ years
This has to be affordable for everyone, the country is so unhealthy. I say this because she mentioned selling to high end restaurants and now this facility is on top of a Whole Foods. Walk into a Whole Foods and you won't see much diversity unless you are looking at the lettuce. I will consider this a success when its attainable to everyone.
People really, really, really should learn how to do something like this, of course on a smaller scale. Reducing The amount of time from farm to fork.. is an awesome concept. This would create a lot of jobs, industry and should drive the price of food down.
I really like the concept. With simplification it might solves some food problems here in water scarce Northern Mexico. What kind of plastic is used for the channels to avoid its leaching into the irrigation water? Would it be the same for an aquaponic system with fish?
!Gracias! I will try to find HDPE. The common plastic here is PVC but, its my understanding that it is not UV stable or safe for food and drinking water. !Saludos desde Saltillo, Mexico!
Man I really love this Green house. Only thing I don't understand is , I thought whole foods was big on organics and natural food. That being said Hydroponics is not natural. it's the complete opposite. I mean don't get me wrong I grow hydroponically but don't claim organic. Hydroponically is a really cool awesome way to grow .
Hydroponic veg tastes bland IMO, not a fan. That said, I can see the need for an application like this in some places--food deserts for example, but I am interested in growing my own for taste JMHO.
omfug Not to mention that growing your own gives you certainty of the cleanliness and quality of the entire process. I’m NOT saying WFs would do anything unethical, but on that scale, there is no way to be certain
i currently am eating a salad with their ugly green mix, and some chopped vegs with some homemade balsamic dressing, and its delicious! the price is also amazing, living in CT they sell 10 oz of the ugly greens for 2.5$. they got a loyal customer :)

Love that they're just upstairs from where the greens are distributed. Fantastic food growing model.
Agreed! Lovely to see you in the comments ☺️
This is our future - sustainable gardening and food production!
Couldn't agree more!
Ya minus the rockwool 😂

You're welcome! It's a fantastic way to grow
wow she is so knowledgeable and professional, did a good job representing their brand
This is nuts. Awesome. Thanks man.
Anytime! Of course!
Fit for purpose growing. That's what it's all about. Local distribution supporting independent sellers is key.
Nice one Kev
Thanks dude! Love that phrase..."fit for purpose." May steal it ;)

Super video friend! Great content for sure, can’t wait to see what you have planned for future videos 😊
More root crops videos coming!

They have raised over $31 million. the 100ks don't even come close.
Assume $31M is entire enterprise beyond the single site in NYC, which given Mr. Bezos resources, pocket change. That said, major investment for sure.
The dispensaries here in Vegas also use a similar type of hydroponic warehouse and the cost is in the millions.

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing it!
Anytime!
@Epic Gardening, Is there a sport team that called Gotham Knights by that location with hydroponic local distrbution above the Whole Foods,y/n?.
People really, really, really should learn how to do something like this, of course on a smaller scale. Reducing The amount of time from farm to fork.. is an awesome concept. This would create a lot of jobs, industry and should drive the price of food down.
That's my thought as well. I think we'll see a drastic reduction in CERTAIN types of produce due to projects like this.
Can you incorporate a rainwater catchment system?
Very cool. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome Mary!
Let's TOUR, less talk !

Agreed the host constantly interrupts the expert.
I really like the concept. With simplification it might solves some food problems here in water scarce Northern Mexico. What kind of plastic is used for the channels to avoid its leaching into the irrigation water? Would it be the same for an aquaponic system with fish?
The plastic is likely to be an HDPE channel, which is the safest plastic for garden use
!Gracias! I will try to find HDPE. The common plastic here is PVC but, its my understanding that it is not UV stable or safe for food and drinking water. !Saludos desde Saltillo, Mexico!
Great video, Thanks...
Of course!

What was blurred out at 8.00?
Just some irrigation
Question why blur out irrigation? That’s important to see. Shows us their build and functionality
I would have loved to, unfortunately there were some limitations as far as what I was allowed to show
I thought hydroponics incorporated fish in the water cycle?
Nope! That's aquaponics
Aquaponics utilizes fish in the loop... Hydro is without fish.
How did you lose so much weight?
did bruce wayne funded this?
;)
@@epicgardening that was a quick reply good morning btw its sleeping time here
It’s look like a commercial ... come on ....
It seems not useful to learn in the Physical tour .. you would have done this interview on the road also -- it is same as this -- is it not
Constantly Crashing....sorry.
What do you mean Glynn?
@@epicgardening I'm crushing, not crashing but staying focused on the topic at hand.
I am on Cyprus and we have had a problem locally which as now been resolved.....Problem my end we are not so advanced here.
Yo bro if you're not dating that chick...... you crazy😕
