Ok, I'm finally back. 8-24-08

Now that I am back, I have been looking at other options. Basically,
hydroponics.


Ok. Now lets get into the meat of hydroponics. NASA is currently
using it to supply some of the nutrients on the space station, at
least that is an assumption that I am making from comments that I have
heard.
There are several types of hydroponics. The best one I have been able
to locate is a system developed by Valcent Products Inc. You might
want to review their web site at www.valcent.com. Not only do they
have a system for growing food but also for producing bio-fuel of
various types. Their process for producing bio-fuel uses very little
water and recycles it, and uses a small 'foot print'. The same goes
for their method of growing food. Very small foot print and recycling
of all that can be recycled.
That should do it for this edition and I'll as usual take questions.
By the way I'm doing some experimenting at this time growing
vegetables hydroponicly.
Thank you all for hanging in there.....
