Our new BioDome is complete!
Inside, the BioDome has a hydroponic irrigation system, internal grow beds, solar panels, water storage tanks and self-regulating thermostatic fans. It maintains a higher-than-normal temperature that extends the growing period and enables a wider variety of plants to be grown and a larger volume of produce to be harvested. The plants are watered using an automatic hydroponic system and planted in a specially designed growing system, removing the need for daily watering, weeding, and digging.
We have had some exciting work through our Eco School including the completion of our new BioDome 
Standing at approximately 4 metres in height and 6 metres in diameter, the BioDome System is a strong, elegant geodesic dome (dome-shaped greenhouse) that houses a self-watering and self-regulating ecosystem. It has an inbuilt thermostatic fan system and water pump, all of which are powered by an integrated solar panel. It can hold approximately 30 people and is fully wheelchair accessible.
Inside, the BioDome is fitted out with a hydroponic irrigation system, meaning the plants are watered automatically and planted in a specially designed-growing system, removing the need for daily watering, weeding, and digging.
We can’t wait for the pupils to begin planting and establishing our Eden Project!
