Reply to comment by Grayox in ‘A growing machine’: Scotland looks to vertical farming to boost tree stocks. Hydroponics unit can produce saplings six times faster than it takes to grow them naturally outdoors. by Sariel007

Iceland is very similar, though getting better with reforestation efforts. The problem that far North is the trees grow incredibly slowly, and when they're small (which they are for longer), they're vulnerable. That's the real benefit of this machine, you skip the bit where the deer eat all your saplings and you're back to square one.

I always knew deer would be on the wrong side of climate change
