Using exhaust air from a swine finishing house to grow vegetables and plants

Authors

Abstract

Exhaust air from a Kansas State University swine finishing house provides CO2 and possible other gases that are used by vegetable plants. In addition, a rock storage system reduces fuel requirements of the greenhouse. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and broccoli transplants have been grown in the greenhouses.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 13, 1980
