pad system

above is the basic idea i had from the beginning how the farm works with the constant lighting 24/7. but still needed to figure out how the pad works.

 from the web site www.austech.com.au i found the solution for the in and out door planting pad system. with water proofing system and other layers the planting is possible over concrete slab system.
even though i drew the rough sectional detail below, it did not clear visual image of how it works. and above image gives the clear idea of what materials are needed and how it works.

seasonal vegetables 

and to finallise the vege types found the list of the veges grown in australia by the season

based on the above list the facility can divide up the vege types into two different weather conditions as 'warm' and 'cool' so urban(community) and commercial farm can operate with two different floors with two weather conditions.
