I wonder if anyone on this list is new to computers / email?
Here is how to "snip" and reply:
#1 Press the reply button.
#2 Scroll up to the top of the message area and click in the top left
if your cursor isn't blinking there.
#3 While holding down your shift key, press the arrow-down key.
(you can just hold down on the arrow-down key if you
have a lot of ground to cover.)
#4 When you have highlighted an area you want to get rid of,
press delete. (and pulllleeeeez, get rid of most of it!).
Click in the position where you want to start deleting some
more of the previous message and repeat steps 1- 4.
I thank you. My eyes thank you. My schedule thanks you.
My email server thanks you. The little Hoagland's thank you.
Carolyn

We need to be able to reply directly to the list or it will die. To many
messages are being sent to the individual rather than the list. This is the
only list of 10 that I subscribe to that replies to the individual. I find
it very frustrating to not be able to follow a thread. Thanks

Be sure to plant some flowering plants nearby to provide nectar and water to
keep the beneficials close to home.

What is an aluminum roof pan?
By the way, I constructed my own sprayer resembling the Spotlight unit. I
bought a hand truck, 12V pump, hose, spray wand, fittings etc for under
$250. I already had the battery. Things might be cheaper in Fla. Saved
myself $200

Hi ya! Your hopes and plans sound good--as long as you keep your
experiments small, and expenses low, whilel you are learning. ( I have spent
megabucks on my aquaponics set-up here and still do not have it up and
running.)
The good news is that I have just come across a man in Oklahoma who
has been successful with his operation. He gave a talk at the Southern
Greenhouse Vegetable Growers Association meeting in Tyler, Texas last week.
His was the only operation that was organic, so I found it especially
interesting
Basically, he said that chives grew best for him summer and winter.
When a plant starts to make fruit--i.e, tomatoes, peppers, cukes, etc, its
need for nitrogen increases. If you increase the nitrogen very much, the
fish can not tolerate it. So, green leafy vegetables do best in aquaponics,
but watch out for the photopeiod requirement for spinach. It likes long
nights.
If you think you might ever visit Oklahoma so you could see his
operation, let me know. i will give you his name and phone. His system is
different from Tom Sp's. He uses compressed air to push everything but it is
truly aquaponic.
Lots of luck1 Polly

William,
Aluminum roof pans are used here in Florida, the Caribbean and Arizona
to make cheap roofs for carports. You also commonly see them in mobile
home parks. They are 3" deep, 1 foot wide and as long as you want
them. The fabricator boxes in the ends. They have a hard baked
enameled finish so there is no contact of the plants with the aluminum.
The sides of the trays interlock. They work great for shallow-rooted
plants like lettuces, greens and herbs. They are lightweigt, easy to
handle and look very clean. Put 4 of them hooked together on sawhorses
or fabricated legs and you have great growing beds.
I'm impressed with your sprayer. I've found a way to live with the
Atomist Fogger so I'll stick with that for now. You might want to check
out the Fogg-It nozzle made by Dramm to go with your system. It costs
about $6.00. You can see it at
http://www.frostproof.com/catalog/m610f.html
I continue to be delighted with the Revolution lettuce that you
recommended from Stokes Seeds. Thanks again. If you want to add some
variety to your reds you may want to try Galactic and Cerize, both from
Johnnys.

Hi Polly - Any chance for a report on the meeting? We attended last year
and found the combined knowledge/experience level of the group to be
remarkable -- 34+ years is a long time for a greenhouse growers group to be
active, I think.
We'd appreciate your thoughts in general, and any specific information you
can take the time to share.

Will the roof pans hold much weight if properly supported? Say about 450
lbs of water.
We grow a lot of Cerize with the Revolution, both do really well here for
salad mixes. Can't remember if we tried Galactic. What type is it?
