Container Selection
– Food in Basel II – – Klybeck Island: Herb Harbor –
In the selection of containers, the dominant factors is economic, light, efficient and convinient. In one word, it has to fit the
interim character well. Considering about the convinience of direct transplanting, transportation( could be fit into standard tray
which makes it even easier) and selling, standard pot (50 cm3 )should be a prior choice,applied with dominant quantities. Taking
advantage of the current site, box should be a second choice.
However, the other means could also be used with very small quantities, to satisfy other needs besides pure aim of agricultural
yield, education and exhibition for instance. Especially the few railway wagons could be remained as container in order to
remind people the former utility and character of this site.
