QUOTES FROM THOSE WHO KNOW:
"Even before the advent of biodomes, experimentation had already begun with domed enclosures that could sustain year-round gardens. At the forefront was Patricia Watters, author of the “The Biodome Garden Book,” the premier book on passive-solar biodome greenhouse gardening. When Watters constructed her first biodome garden, 30 years ago, even the most forward-thinking gardening communities hadn’t conceived of a solar-powered, weed- and pesticide-free, waist-level greenhouse capable of producing its own food (in the form of aquatic animals), which could, in turn, feed organically grown vegetables using minimal water." -WHOLE LIFE TIMES MAGAZINE
”Located in the Brewer Park Community Garden, the biodome garden is a modular designed circular raised bed linked to a fish tank that sends nutrient rich water in order to grow vegetables. A dome roof is added to the raised bed and fish tank in order to extend the growing season with the possibility of growing vegetables year round. It is a structure of superior strength which can handle harsh weather conditions, including strong winds and snow. The atmosphere within the biodome garden is naturally humidified with a wind-powered ventilation system. In size, it will be 16 (sixteen) feet in diameter and eight (8) feet high." -OTTAWA BIOSPHERE ECO CITY INITIATIVE
