<p>Hey Lorraine;</p>
<p>I live in Bradenton. It appears that you have more than enough room for a system. Mine is 4 IBC totes hooked up to a 7x11 grow bed. The first 4 feet are gravel, the rest rafts. I also have 4 of the IBC tote tops as beds. Not a lot of space needed .</p>

<p>How many plants do you want to grow. We have vertical towers to grow 30 - 36 plants in a square foot of space. We sell kits from 1 tower to 40 x 32' footprint with shelter, 6 fish tanks (500 fish each) and 20 growing towers over each tank. This could produce a lot of plants. Scalable, you just have to decide how much food you want to grow :)</p>
<p></p>
<p>We also sell small wind packages to power the operation ( off or on grid)</p>
<p>Are you wanting a ready set go package, or something…</p>

<p>Hi Lorraine: I also am located in Hudson, FL, off Denton Rd, behind the ball field. I started back in 2011, with an 8ft x 8ft deck and a 10 x 20 portable car port. I built a 3 x 4 x 3 high 330 gal tank and bought 100 gal. stock watering tank and built 4 4 x 8 flood & drain grow troth<em>s, each hold 156 plants .

<p>Hi Lorraine: I also am located in Hudson, FL, off Denton Rd, behind the ball field. I started back in 2011, with an 8ft x 8ft deck and a 10 x 20 portable car port. I built a 3 x 4 x 3 high 330 gal tank and bought 100 gal. stock watering tank and built 4 4 x 8 flood & drain grow troth<em>s, each hold 156 plants . My</em> sump is a 30 gallon garbage can dug into the ground, fitted with a sump pump and garden hose to return the water to the fish tanks..</p>
<p>Since then I have added a 26 x 42 hoop house with a 6 x 20 deck with 4 275 gal tanks and now have 12 more grow troths. I am shooting for a commercial operation. Biggest current problem is a constant reliable marketing source.</p>
<p>Material cost <em>was about $135.00 per grow troth. Car port was purchased for $200.00 at K-mart</em></p>
