TKG9/9

Capable of growing variety of fruits and vegetables

Unique containers to support specific foods.

First design was for potatoes. Fake straw instead of dirt. Watered automatically, lighted inside containers, mulching of straw done by hand as plants grew, similar to those who knew how to grow marijuana.

TGK13/8

New Freight Farm growtainers based on fully nutrient-focused set-up.

Fish in tanks = fertilizer that provides plants that clean the water fed back to the fish tanks.

Corrected light allows fish to breed, have added crustaceans as well. (Crab in outer space!) Can grow wheat, corn, etc. Light amplification generates correct wave lengths to feed growth systems, and gravity plates help. Can get water from comets.

Will be growing fungi and yeast, using 3-D printers to make them palatable. Have stocked up on spices.

Given enough room, would be able to feed 1 million people. Protein only problem. Use local planetary stuff?
