I have some full-sized Bright Lights Swiss Chard which is just about
ready to sell. Does anyone have a sense of what the market can bear for
it? Our nearest wholesale market is an hour away and I don't think
anyone else is offering anything like it in this area. Local growers
are few and far between so I can charge higher than "market" but don't
want to go so high as to turn off buyers. I would appreciate any frame
of reference you guys can offer.

I sell green chard for .69$ for a bunch of 6 or 7 large leaves.Red chard for
.99$ for same amount.

Hello everyone
Does anyone have experience using expanded clay as a growing media for
aquaponics. Similar to what is used for hydroponics. Looking for a lighter
media that will work as well as gravel and still house the bacteria.
Any comments or experience please
Thanks
Craig

I'm sure Ken meant this to go to the group, so I'm forwarding for him. Paula
