I was thrilled to see you're an RTP-based company. I'm on the other side of Raleigh from you, but I shared this with my community and now need to do some measuring to figure out how much grading I'd have to do to install one of these and then figure out what my HOA would say. :)

Have you gone through a winter in this area with the unit in a greenhouse? Any reports on how that worked out?

Waves Make sure to mention the free installation to your community! (I may limit this to a small initial number of customers, we'll see how it goes).

I have an HOA, as well. In our bylaws, we're allowed a garden of 50 square feet without explicit permission, so I didn't apply for an arch. request. But I'd be happy to help any customers apply.

My first prototype was in a greenhouse in Cary. I was able to continue growing through the winter, but everything (understandably) grew slower. See my previous blog posts for more detail: http://blog.automicrofarm.com/page/3

That's very cool. I'm actually on my HOA board (but the ARC is a delegated function) and know a few people have gardens without any trouble.

Incidentally, the first comment I received was about "farmed fish."
