I don’t remember the roots being in a paper tube but hanging loose. Perhaps I was there on a different day when they were trying it a different way.

When EPCOT opened in the early 1980s (?) they had a display of tomato plants that slowly circled through a spray of nutrients. Plants hanging with their roots fully exposed. Going around like suits in a dry cleaners.

Seemed overkill to me, but interesting. Could have done the same thing with regular hydroponic growing and much less hardware.

I have the same sort of feeling about this idea.

KISS.

It’s all mostly in Swedish but they have a circling line with plants going through the building and getting to the bottom when they are harvested. And they get the energy through solar panels. It’s a whole science.

Some details about how this thing works would be nice. 3:55 of flyovers, with no substantive info about the design is really frustrating.
