urban farming: mobile edible walls
Urban Food production units.
Green Living™ Technologies is proud to introduce the GLT Urban Farms and Edible Wall Technology. Green Living Technologies (GLT) is a pioneer in “zero miles” from farm to table with indoor and outdoor edible walls for growing fresh fruits and vegetables in urban environments. The new GLT Mobile Edible Wall® Urban Food Production Units will advance urban food production and edible wall technology to new levels. GLT Mobile Edible Wall® units are ideal to take advantage of back yards, vacant lots, buildings or enclosed areas in the urban environment to produce healthy and nutritious supplies of raw food.
The GLT Mobile Edible Wall® Urban Food Production Unit is mounted on wheels so it can be relocated to maximize the exposure to the sun throughout the year and configured to fit odd-shaped environments. Manual irrigation is accomplished by adding water to the drip reservoir at the top of the unit. Optional metered irrigation is available for larger commercial growers.
Additionally, the frame can be situated indoors during the winter months to provide a year round growing experience. For the commercial and educational indoor application we have LED Grow Lighting that will allow food production throughout the year. By utilizing our GLT bioSoil (available through GLT authorized representatives) to populate your panels, you can grow amazing produce without the need for any chemical fertilizers or additives.
Commercial "A" Frame
- Hot House Tomatoes 20lbs – 30lbs per *2×2 panel
GLT 1x1 Picture Wall
- Eggplant 30lbs – 40lbs
- Lettuce, Red Leaf 20-24 heads
Classroom EDU Wall
- Strawberries 13lbs – 17lbs
- Bunches of Herbs ( = .5″ diameter wrap) 16 bunches
* production figures projected from actual results at GLT Headquarters in Rochester, NY, produce is per crop cycle, ie tomatoes can have 2-4 crops per year so total annual production would be obtained by multiplying above figures by number of crop cycles
Each unit has multiple panels, so by mixing varieties the panels will yield an interesting array to be harvested almost continuously depending on your mix. Panels come in 2 configurations. All units except the commercial are 1’x2’x6” panels. Commercial unit uses 2’x2’x6” panels.
Our frames are constructed of high grade aluminum stock to maintain integrity and service over may lifetimes of production. The panels are manufactured of food grade stainless steel to insure safety in growing food and longevity.
