Why Wheatgrass?
Some years ago, Club Northwest owner Scott Draper grew wheatgrass using cotton towels as a substrate. He thought it would be a great idea to recycle the Club's threadbare towels (100% cotton) by utilizing them in a wheatgrass growing program. The fresh grass would then always be available from the Club's Juice Company.
Scott needed a slick, futuristic system that would match Club Northwest's clever neo-Flinstonian interior. It would also need to grow ample grass in a concise vertical space, require very little effort to operate, and utilize the receycled towels as a growing medium. He came to environmental control designer Curtis Bloom for help.
The resulting system is a beautiful confluence of resource efficiency and healthful living. Constructed of recycled aluminum and steel, it is a drain-to-waste hydroponic tier garden capable of producing twenty-seven square feet of grass in a thirteen square foot area. It incorporates 256 watts of low draw T-8 florescent lighting and uses only about a shower's worth of water each day. The system was built and installed by Curtis Bloom's company, Matrix Bio of Grants Pass.
Our hydroponic growing system for wheatgrass is the only one of its kind in the area. We are growing, harvesting, and serving our wheatgrass, just for you!
