Liverpool Street Installation (London)

Print

AutoPot now has a 1Pot System installed at Barny’s Place, a restaurant on Liverpool Street, London.  The system is suspended from the ceiling in the window of Barney’s to grow herbs that then supply their restaurant. Barny the owner of the restaurant cafe aims to produce 'a salad a day' from the installation. Inspired by the Eden project, the installation uses the AutoPot irrigation system, with the window garden suspended from the ceiling on a pulley system that allows the garden to be raised higher (& closer to grow lamps) or lowered for maintenance & harvesting.


Further snapshot reviews of AutoPot Systems
in use will follow in future newsletter editions!

New Commercial Layouts at the AutoPot Website

Print




AutoPot have just secured a contract in the Maldives to erect a greenhouse on the Island of Feydhoo in Addu Atoll, near Gan, on the former British Air Base.  The long term aim here is to trial the products, create a president so that the blue print can be offered to all the islands, thus making each island to a degree self sustainable.  This is a great opportunity for AutoPot and for the residents in the Republic of the Maldives.









Due to their simplicity, efficiency and no requirement for power the AutoPot systems are perfectly suited to the Maldivian climate where power cuts and lack of water can hamper growth rates.

New Greenhouse Site in Ko Chang, Thailand

Little  Josh


Koh Chang is a small remote island situated to the east of Bangkok heading towards the Cambodian boarder. Previously greenhouses and hydroponic set-ups have been installed on the island, with the aim being to help supply the island with fresh produce. However due to the inconsistancy of electricity all have failed as all the installations required power to work.

AutoPot are pleased to announce a new project in Thailand, we are setting up a 10 metre by 16 metre greenhouse on the island of Ko Chang for local a businessman.  The greenhouse will hold 324 2Pot trays to grow a variety of produce.  This will act as an exemplary site to other businesses in the area to promote the great results using AutoPot technology.  This site follows the huge success we continue to have with the site at Klaeng in Thailand.
