As I type, it is 11:11-1-1-1.

I am so pleased I see no careless comments about it being anything it is =
not;
i.e., the beginning of the millenium, or the next century, etc.

Happy Last Year, of same, to all!
Blessings and good harvests.
Bill

So is it true? My news media is reporting that the red fire cracker paper is
dyed with a toxic ink.I thought that toxic inks were banned some years
ago.Anybody know?

That can cut out all the guesswork and save loads of time and fretting.

*What is the water quality Tom?NPK, turbidity, algaeal content, color,
smell, iron, & trace elements plants use... What amendments do you use?When?
 How much.Do you water-feed the plants only, or feed them detritus directly
also?How do you track it and what trends seem to be showing over the time
frame in question plus the that much amount of time earlier, (as symptoms may
show after the fact, as plants run on reserves a while.)

Bill

Water quality is clearer and clearer, there is dirt on the bottom and about 
an 8' x 8"diameter roll of hay, in mesh, sunk at the bottom on one side. This 
was Adriana's idea to keep the algae out, and it has worked well, now that 
its sunk after maybe 4 months, it still may be effective, or maybe I should 
replace it. But there are now about 2/3 of the surface is covered with 
plants, which I believe helps keep it clean. The pump is timed to pump every 
hour for about one minute. It pumps the fishwater up the 1/2" tubing to the 
top of the greenhouse where it goes out spouts down into the vertically hung, 
2 liter plastic bottles holding the vegetables. The broccoli's are beginning 
to develope, but in a long thin, unnatural way so far. 

I like your idea of having the leaf analyzed, do nurseries do that? I'm 
thinking there are microorganisms that the catfish may be eating. Anyway 
thanks for your help.

Un oaf fish ally,
