Open Source Ecology's Factor e Farm

Update #5 · Jul 11, 2012 · 3 comments

We are pleased to announce that the third version of Horto domi has been installed at Open Source Ecology's Factor e Farm (FeF) in Missouri. 

Will spent the first week of July travelling first to Garnett, Kansas, filming the majority of the fabrication for the DIY DVD at Mike Hill's Blacksmith Shop, Art-In-Iron, before travelling on to FeF for the installation.

Both Sam and Will should be returning to FeF in late-July to install the new control stand which combines the electronics, irrigation, and fertigation systems into a single plug-and-play stand-along unit.

      Good to hear from you Brad. This is Sam. Ya the kits are going well. We just posted some updates on the progress of the docs and the new electronics version 3. I'm completing the send out kits soon and then we will be concentrating on polishing up the videos and the DVDs to send out. Check out the updates and let me know what you think.
