The Aqua Hemp system is utilising fish, crayfish, mussels and snails in the water which gets pumped through a system that turns nitrite (NO2) into nitrate (NO3) and then the water is pumped to feed the hemp and other plants in the garden bed.
Plants grow synergistically and their food is produced by animals on the farm. I am best to let him explain a little bit about Virgin Hemp Farms, so please watch the below short intro: Wadzy has developed an ecosystem that is almost entirely self-sustaining. Hemp farmer, Wayne Wadsworth (Wadzy) invited us to his farm and showed us around. Research is ongoing to identify plants that grow synergistically with hemp in a controlled greenhouse environment. Virgin Hemp Farms, located in Nimbin, the picturesque Northern New South Wales (NSW) region on the east coast of Australia, is developing an Aqua Hemp system to grow hemp in permaculture. Growing organic hemp seeds and fibre is quite common among farmers, and anyone who wants to stand out has to niche further down. Hemp is one of the most promising superfoods available and because of its little reliance on fertilizers and pesticides, it is one of the easiest crops to grow organically. So it makes perfect sense to grow hemp for most farmers, however, some growers are looking at niching into one of the biggest segments in the hemp foods market – the health-conscious consumer. It does not need much fertilizer and hardly any pesticides, while it also leaves the soil behind in a very good condition. Hemp is a very useful plant to fit into their crop rotation. Producing seeds and fibre in a traditional way is what most farmers are interested in. Hemp foods were finally made legal in Australia last November (2017) and farmers around the country are looking at how they could incorporate the miracle plant into their business.
