My Project

My students have fundraised to purchase 3 IBC Tanks and convert them into Hydroponic Growing Systems. They have received designed and cut the tanks into the design style that they feel will grow the best produce. Now they need to fundraise to receive the grow media to grow the produce in the tanks. The Clay Pebbles and Rock Wool will help them complete their vision and begin to produce enough lettuces and herbs to make their final vision of a fully functioning Produce store at school and reality. Please consider helping out my students with your support.
