Hydrogrow

Aim

Growing hydroponic veg all year round, using nature’s resources and minimising carbon footprint. Hopefully create jobs in a rural area a

I’m looking to fund a small hydroponics project. The aim is to be totally off grid for power, and zero carbon footprint within 5 years. Using shipping containers and natural resources, wind, solar and possibly hydro, that are available.

I have a croft available to place the project which already saves on rents etc. Looking for funding to make the rest a reality.

I’ve been working on a small project for a few months during lockdown, with good results.

The money raised would go towards preparing the area to be used (see photo) and purchase of equipment. Ie container, lighting etc.

 Longer term goals include the possibility of getting local groups, scouts, guides and schools interested in the idea of a self sustaining project that can be educational and fun. Assisting people to set up small domestic systems with design and supply of hydroponic kits.
I moved to the highlands as a single parent 20 years ago. Worked as a postie, and 8 years as a partner in a cafe. Now looking to make a new challenge a reality.

Thank you for taking time to have a look at my page.
Any advice would also be welcome
