Yes it is a lot of lettuce.  They have about ten acres under greenhouse at

the Decatur location.  The lettuce is planted and harvested in one area.

CO2 is added to the greenhouse from the fermentation process in the alcohol

production plant.  The seedlings are placed in trays and moved on a rail

system to the growing area.  The mature plants are harvested about 27 days

later.  Lighting is used to supplement low light conditions in order to keep

an even amount of produce moving through the plant all year round.  I don't

know if they are using the fish wastes in the same manner in aquaponics.

I had contact with one of the people in the aquaculture department and he

had no idea what was going on in the hydroponics section.  At a guess I

think they may be collecting the fish wastes, composting them and using the

compost tea with added nutrients in the hydroponics section.  They did not

use a medium to hold the plants when I was there.  The plants where placed

in

plastic slats and the roots where placed in nutrient solution.  There is a

constant flow of nutrient solution through the trays.  They get very

secretive about sharing their information so I don't know what they are

doing for sure.  I make my guesses on what I have seen them do in the past

and what they are set up to do.

Best regards

Dale Robinson

Hi Ted,

did you say that I'm young? Thanks alot! It's nice to hear that once in =

a while, though I don't really know if I should pay too much attention =

when somebody who has never seen me says that ...

Anyway, as you are sure that the nasty ingredient is geosmin, now my ques=

tion is a little more general and directed to everybody: which would be =

the best way to do to a websearch for this substance? I'm just the opposi=

te of an expert browser!

Uwe,

I like Infoseek because it allows you to progressively narrow your

search.  They're at :

http://infoseek.go.com/

Adriana

question is a little more general and directed to everybody: which would

be the best way to do to a websearch for this substance?

Thanks Adriana, will try that. Should I directly begin with "geosmin", =

or is there a better way to start? - Uwe

vpage,

The great thing about your message.....Hmm....

"Puttin' up my shade cloth in the snow"..now that is very,very poetic.

It strikes me as a lot more poetic than "Puttin up my shade cloth in the

blitherin' heat".

In fact, the beginning of a great country & western folkadelic song is in

there somewhere.

But then, that's the muse kickin' in the stall once again.

Fact is, whether it's poetic, or whether it's snowin' or blitherin' heat, my

muscles still git sore.

Amen?

Keep Growing Good Food, Y'all.

Ted
