25,000 square feet grows 10,000 heads of lettuce per day? Not buying it.
What makes you doubt the Japanese? It’s not as if they ever tried to pull one over on us...
Not buying it either. The only way to even come close would be to stack the beds, still this would be almost impossible to achieve on a daily basis.
Yes, 10k heads of lettuce a day? This story seems like bunk.
The photos show 16 levels of plants, so 625 per 25,000 sq ft of FLOOR SPACE per day. It might be possible. I don’t think the lettuce are that big at harvesting.
“25,000 square feet grows 10,000 heads of lettuce per day? Not buying it.”
You neglect to consider that they have multiple levels for each square foot.
I think the author meant to say 10,000 heads are growing at any one time - at least that makes more sense.
Just did the math for an experiment I ran 5 years ago and it’s totally doable...
