I have 2 horses and a dozen chicken. With the cost of hay and grain going up every week, I have started to look into a Fodder Feed system, but the cost for even the smallest unit is out or reach for most people, so I am trying to figure out how to build a DIY system.
I live in central Arizona @ 5200 ft. elevation so the winters are cold and we get snow occasionally. I have a cold frame greenhouse and was told that it would be too cold to grow the fodder.
Your closet idea is great, but would need to adapt it to be used outside in the feed room of my barn.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Debbie

Answer from Stella/Simon:
Hi Debbie,
Have to admit I know nothing about growing feed or fodder for livestock. The growbox plans we offer are generally used for 4-6 specimen plants, like tomatoes or peppers, or medical herbs.
Not sure you would get enough volume for your needs. I am posting this in hopes someone else has more experience with fodder and can help.
Hope this helps!
