Wondering what to do with unused, industrial, non-arable land?
Well, Podponics has one answer:
They grow organic, hydroponic lettuce… in recycled shipping containers.
From seeding to harvest is only 5 weeks and these plants grow 365/24/7 so a container measuring only 320 square feet can produce as much lettuce as an acre of land.
We can think of some empty lots here in Charleston that would make great locations for shipping container farms!
