The worlds first mobile bioshelter

Hydroponics4Life are proud of the worlds first mobile aquaponic bioshelter. Incorporating the latest in aquaponic and hydroponic systems, the bioshelter is going to tour the country showing people what can be grown using these techniques and spreading the word about Hydroponics4Life.

A tank is downstairs (on the old luggage rack) which will contain fish and when the whole system is up and running nutrient cycles will develop between fish, plants and water which will create a self-contained system.

Alternative energy such as solar on the roof and a wind-turbine will eventually be used to power the systems such as pumps and filters but the Bioshelter will not require much enrgy to to keep it's systems going. Further proving the point that system such as this can be maintained on a minimum budget by anyone of almost any experience.

Schools across the country are now signing up for to build there own aquaponic eco-gardens. In many cases we have been able to provide free advice and equipment (subject to availability) showing how aquaponics can change the way we grow food and try to help change the lives of children in the developing world.

Other Types of Bioshelter?

Bioshelters are solar greenhouses which enclose fish ponds, food crops, soil life and insect communities and they will fit into any spare space available.

 

  • Ecoshelter
  • Biotent
  • BioContainer

Ecoshelter

An Ecoshelter is a Bioshelter made form entirely recyled materials such as old tyres as planters and as roofing tiles

The advantage of this type of Bioshelter is that it is generally cheap to construct but it needs a lot of planning and a good knowledge of he available materials.

Biotent

Biotent

A 2m2 tent which you can use to grop your own crops. this is perfect for a family with limited space and materials.

Biobox

A BioCpontainer is 40ft shipping container that has been converted into a diverse bioshelter containing plants and life in a contained eco system.It could be converted into a greenhouse or even a home and due to the fact that containers are standard, severall containers can be added together to create larger structures
