There could be a few rows of plants on the ground and have pathway between each row

Growing plants on the ground lead to stronger roots.

Plants could grow on pipes located against the wall of the greenhouse to save space.

Wood Chips

lyeung27 — 2024-10-29 14:53:34 UTC

Wood chips are long lasting, eco-friendly, and easily replaceable. They allow students to be part of nature but one major issue is that these wood chips get inside people’s shoes and could make a mess.

Growing plants on pipes can improve temperature control, humidity and crop diseases. https://www.enertecengineering.com/site/mechanical-services/grow-pipes#:~:text=Grow%20pipes%20allow%20heat%20to,greenhouse%20humidity%20and%20crop%20diseases.

Plants could grow on pots hanging down the celling of the greenhouse.

Growing Zone

2024-10-29 14:56:51 UTC

Growing plants on the celling can increase sunlight being absorbed and maximize the use of space in the greenhouse. https://plantagreenhouses.com/blogs/learn/the-ultimate-guide-to-elevating-your-greenhouse-with-hanging-plants?srsltid=AfmBOopp-TUXBP6mr_0h8mOocUl6B_1YYmcEsOgJ-TOwFJzDDTz08faH

Dirt/Soiil

lyeung27 — 2024-10-29 15:00:31 UTC

Soil/Dirt is most natural source. Using soil, plants can grow right around the students and make it easier for interaction. But dirt flooring could also cause students to step on or harm plants

Easiest plant to plant:

2024-10-29 15:02:01 UTC

-Sunflowers

-Pansies

-Marigolds

-Petunias

-Mint

Concrete

lyeung27 — 2024-10-29 15:04:25 UTC

Concrete is the most long-lasting and safe flooring option. It has less safety concerns and is relatively easy to maintain. one main issue is that if something this flooring is wrong, it is very hard to change. Also, it is the least eco-friendly option out of the four.

Placement:

2024-10-29 15:09:20 UTC

1) Can receive natural lights with shields from the directions that can receive sunlight.

2) Dry air emitted by air conditioning or heating units.

Conditions:

2024-10-29 15:12:38 UTC

-Clean conditions

-Warmth (72-77 F)

-Light

-Appropriate levels of humidity

Supplies:

2024-10-29 15:13:25 UTC

-Soil (potting mix)

-Containers (for transplanting)

-Starter Plants

-Plastic Bag

-Watering Can

-Scissors

Start Seeds Indoors:

2024-10-29 15:19:07 UTC

Plants with longer growing seasons, like tomatoes and peppers, 6-8 weeks before last frost date.

Cooling Methods:

2024-10-29 15:22:50 UTC

-Ventilation: Airflow vents and fans.

-Shade cloth: Protect direct sunlight.

-Evaporative cooling systems: Decrease temperatures.

Storage sheds

dgrover27 — 2024-10-29 15:27:18 UTC

storage for tools for planting and for educational tools
can be used to store tools, microscopes, butterfly nets, etc.

Solar Panels

lyeung27 — 2024-11-28 17:10:08 UTC

Solar panels can be used to gain energy in one of the most efficient ways. However, solar panels take up space (potentially blocking plants' sunlight). It is also quite expensive to insert.

LED grow lights

lyeung27 — 2024-11-28 17:14:38 UTC

Allows certain plants to grow even not under the sun. However, it is quite expensive and also requires electricity
