I hope you all don't mind me putting this in here. If there is a better place, then please let me know, but I thought it'd be of interest to some like minded people who want to grow food locally anywhere they might be. Today I came across the concept of growing food in shipping containers. These are climate controlled and fully regulated high tech rigs that retail off the shelf for 50-60K.

They claim to be able to do some amazing things. Check out the links below:

Does anyone have any experience with these? They make some amazing claims.

Apologies for being a bit off topic, but I thought it might interest some people here.

Thanks

Interesting. Basically a ready to go hydroponics system in an ocean container
 
It is an experimental device that will make my mind that most powerful force on earth! More powerful than this tiny ad!
