Bioboxes

You can go to the supermarket and buy energy food, loaded with sugars, fats and carbs at a reasonable price.

But try and buy fresh vegetables, what they call fresh is days or weeks old by which time most of the goodness has long gone.

If you are a keen and skilled gardener you can grow you own and just pick and eat so it is genuinely fresh.

But what happens if you don’t have land, skills or time. That is where Gbiota Bioboxes come in to play. Fresh fruit and vegetables growing at home and buying directly from the grower at a lot lower cost and with a reliable supply chain.

The grower uses the Gbiota beds to grow soil, using organic waste, manure and minerals to grow the biota and mineral rich soil. This soil is then loaded into Bioboxes.

The boxes are large enough to grew a useful amount of food but light enough to be readily transported.

The key is in the soil, Wickimix is a living soil with microbes, bacteria, fungi and worms specificially grown in Gbiota beds to be used in any Wicking bed.

They are offered at three levels.

Customer can simply buy what we call a clean skin – a box loaded with soil ready for the customer to seed and grow plants as the wish. This costs some $50 per box.

The next level is what we call a swapper. The box is seeded and the plants grown ready to harvest using the tipping system where just the tips of the plants are harvested and allowed to regrow.

After a period the plants become old and the boxes are simply swapped for another box.

This costs some $70 per box.

At the top of the list is the extreme box which is planted with a combination of some 27 different varieties of plants. This is definitely the best way to go as with gut biota variety of plants and microbes is the way to go.

This costs some $80 per box.

The boxes, on any system can simply be swapped for fresh box reloaded with fresh soil and nutrients and that only costs some $20 per box on swap over.

But again logistics come into play. It just makes no sense to have a mega farm producing Bioboxes and shipping them over large distances – it is simply not the way this alternative food system should be moving.

A much better approach is to set up local growers who are geared up to supply the boxes to their local customers – who we call biofoodies.

These would be viable, local independent business not part of some mega corporation.
