RE: Growing Organic Spirulina at Home
Thanks for posting this @solarguy. I will look into growing my own safely.
Thought I'd try sending you a picture from the Trent Severn so you can see my natural algae habitat, 6 months of the year. Don't know if this will work as I have never included a thumbnail in a comment before. I'd love to be able to grow algae bio fuel from my backyard cost effectively. :)
OMG!!! i grew up on the Trent Severn in Severn Bridge not far from the little swing Bridge there. You know the spot? That picture looks like home.. ^^ Im here in China and I miss it so much.
Bio fuel is far from ready to make at home if you don't have a background in algae. The equipment alone could set you back over $50k and then a trained technician to operate or teach you. Sadly it's not ready yet for that,it requires extreme care. I was talking to the CEO of one of the largest Algae producers in the world, for bio feul from Arizona, he said some algae strains sell for over $10,000US per Kilo because its so tough to grow. And it fails a lot of the time even with the best team and equipment.
Boy or Boy! I live just down the road from the bridge, just before Lock #7!!!
I bought Alice Heisman's house. She's still alive at 107 years old. Good water!!!
Hahaha!
I thought that might be the case...I'd like to use this water to grow aquaponically on top. Just lost my nerve due to the unknown contaminants and no where to have it tested for heavy metals and other harmful particulates. Then, I read your posts and thought I've got algae...maybe I can do something with it. I already eat chlorella everyday because I believe it's a great chelator for the blood and like algae it's nutritionally dense. Chlorella is a freshwater plankton, if I'm not mistaken.
That name's familiar. I moved to Washago in 1995 and went to Orillia for HS. Than moved to toronto in 98. I visit sometimes but thats long time ago.
Outdoors algae in the wild isn't safe to eat. Heavy metals like mentioned and the sort. If you have the land you could dig a pond and then control better what gets in the water by covering it, cheaply. You would only have a few months a year but they would be good months.
I think it's really cool, how the universe works sometimes. I am very happy to meet you! I think you are working in a fascinating area of study and I can't wait to read whatever you are going to post next. It's very interesting and I think both your recent posts have done well considering that we are all sharing a smaller pay-out pot, at the moment. I think if you get more than 50 upvotes and more than 3 comments you can consider your posting efforts a success. I know it takes a lot of time but the information you have to share is incredibly valuable and I would encourage you to keep going. :)
ah.. you're a sweet heart.
Ya do agree my posts did well. Even if my post makes a few pennies i get excited.
I have a long term goals, the more votes regardless of the rewards is actually more important to me now. Each vote means a single person liked my opinion. My highest paying posts actually had fewer than 100 votes but they were more powerful and i truly appreciate and them will never forget their support. But getting 150 votes and 0.19 cents means i reached more people. And depending on what you want from steemit i won in that department.
Connect with me in steem chat i got ideas brewing
