While development of the roads, utilities and solar home lots is anticipated in the near future, the TCI Lane Ranch Greenhouse is complete, and is happily growing salad greens and vegetables for the Aspen Skiing Company's mountain restaurants. Terry Swerdlove is the greenhouse manager, and she is busy planting, growing and harvesting these veggies all Winter, while preparing the Aquaponics tanks for schools of Tilapia fish. The shelves above the tanks will be planted with micro-greens, using the fish waste from the tanks as their primary nutrients, while their roots clean the water for the fish.
Bon apetit', Skiers!
