Market Farming

I think that is an interesting idea. What is your current process for greens production?

At an aquaculture farm in my area the man used loops of polyethylene
pipe (irrigation line essentially) and poked holes in it , used a
threaded fitting to an air hose\coimpressor like you were describing
and kept it  weighted halfway in the tanks with something. 

I just use 2 dunk tanks but i have been looking for input on other
methods. I really don't like the amount of water i go through changing
the water and was considering making the a trough that skims the top,
put 's the water through a sediment filter and reuses it. I have a well
so i try and get the most mileage for my water but the cold water
really helps with the field heat in the middle of summer.

What do you dry with and package. I had always heard of using a washing
machine and last summer i finally found one on the curb and after
removing the agitator and safety mechnisms it works wonder. I made
baskets that i harvest into, dunk , and then put in the washer for
drying. The less i handle it the less bruising i get. But every now and
again i notice a slug or bug still around and have always been curious
how much larger operations process their greens.

After drying to you use breathable bags or what is your storage medium of choice in the walk in?

I think the air could be a great idea.
