I've seen your humble hobby farm before, I'm aware supermarkets sell that way, but still .....
NO EVIDENCE OF YOU CLAIM EITHER!
all I get from you it's ; I've done it, I've seen it, I, I ,I I etc....

I repeat my question;
Any photos or valuable and attandeable evidence?

So was mine.... :lol:

No Bioaqua.... I haven't run the hydro farm for quite a few years now....

And I haven't bothered worrying about beer & peanut money from my "hobby farm".... :lol:

As I said TCL... is transporting towers to local markets... and returning unsold "live" plants back to her farm...

Perhaps she can get some pics from you....

Think there's a local grower at our local markets that does a similar thing...

If I can be bothered getting up early enough for the next one... I'll try and get some pics...

Sorry... but the idea isn't new, novel... or patentable.... :lol:

But hey.. it's a good idea... go forth....

It always surprises me when people desperately cling to some needed sense of novelty (the wicking bed guy comes to mind).

It's a good idea, very marketable, but don't be surprised that others have already thought of it and put it into practice.

So...can a lettuce cutting grow roots? :D
Of course. That is the whole idea of in vitro cloning or plant tissue culture. From an article called 'Propagation of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) breeding material by tissue culture', by D. A. C. PINK, PHILIPPA J. CARTER:

great!... so 'living' it is :headbang:


Here tom 77
Foods You Can Grow From Kitchen Scraps

These plants can be propagated as many times as you wish and all you need to get started is some left over kitchen scraps.
- See more at: http://reclaimgrowsustain.com/content/f ... a18nD.dpuf

I'w tryed it for fun sticking it (the weggies scrap) directly in soil in a tyre next to my compst bins and it actually works

cheers


Thanks for that, I am taking a look now... I have done it with other things like celery... didn't realise it worked for lettuce leaves too... I guess I shouldn't be surprised though :thumbleft:

Hi Rupert,

I was wondering why you got out of the hydro business? a change of interest, not profitable enough or perhaps aquaponics was more interesting? Just curious
