Tips on using FarmBot in weather condiitons of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Hi,

I recently purchased FarmBot Genesis V1.4. I need some tips with regards to the following:-

  1. Other than red wood, materials that can be used to build the raised bed
  2. Can I add any soil to the bed or is there is a specific type I should look for?
  3. Use of BioChar in the soil. Never tried it before but I have heard good reviews about it. Any idea how it would work in a FarmBot
  4. Local plant varieties suggestions?

It would be great to get in touch with those who have FarmBots in the UAE so that I can visit and learn from them first hand
