COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The Aquapod, operated through Solid Rock Community Development Center, has been open since October and uses an aquaponics system. The nutrients produced by the fish are processed through the system and used to help the plants grow. Zimmerman said the operation can produce about 700 heads of lettuce each week, with new plants going into the system as others are harvested. “We’re doing about 700 heads every seeding. So we need people to seed 700 heads, then we need people to transplant 700 heads, and then we need people to harvest 700 heads,” said Zimmerman.
