I think that someone should check this out. They were talking about N
here but I think it would work on PH down also.

Dear Luis:
I have successfully teated the wood industry water a
containing the high N
with the moss peat (Sphagnum). If you are interested in
biological treatment
then you can try Sphagnum moss and provide retentation
time of six hours.
You just see the results of biological treatment and
inform me

I recently subscribed to this list and have only received a couple replies
to the Ad messages. Thus I'm sending this as a test message. Sorry for the
inconvenience I may have caused. I subscribe to another list where there
are occasional messages like this but there is also a lot of messages sent
every day ( I'm 1300 messages behind on that list!).
I look forward to this mailing group.

Hi Nick,
I see your message. So if you see this things are working! There is usually at least ONE
post to this list nearly everyday. and depending on the subject at hand this is normally
quite an ACTIVE list. Feel free to toss out a question or two also.

Adrianna,
One possible shipping container is the SoftBox TM that we have
received biochemicals in at my lab. It is made of #4 LDPE, the same as
most plastic bags, so it can be recycled with plastic bags. It is a
trademark of Courier-Cool UK Ltd. and is used by Amersham Pharmacia
Biotech.
From the top it looks about the same size and shape as a football
(US type), but is about 1 1/2 times as tall as a football with vertical
sides. The top and bottom are ovals with projecting smaller ovals on
the inside to fit into the sides. The body (sides) is a continuous coil
of about 1/8 inch foam to make 8 plies. The bottom and body are in a
plastic bag to hold them together and the complete package, after
contents and dry ice coolant are added, is shrink wrapped to hold it
together during courier delivery.
I have no idea if larger sizes are available. I could get
Amersham's 800 number for you if you would like to contact them. I
cannot find any phone number or address for Courier-Cool on the package.
Allen

Subject: Keeping the greenhouse warm ...
From: "Nick Kemp"
Date: Sat, 27 May 2000 20:27:30 -0500
I'm considering adding an aquaponic setup to our apple orchard business.
The most pressing question I have is relative to keeping the greenhouse warm
during Minnesota's "brisk" winters (about 8500 degree days and -30 max low).
I don't want to use conventional methods to heat such as propane or wood. I
have not decided on a greenhouse type but I'm leaning toward a hoophouse
until I can determine if this makes long-term sense.
The most promising idea I've seen was to use animals to add heat in the
winter. This has potential as well as additional issues to resolve. I'm
also considering leasing out some of the space to someone who would like to
raise animals since I'm not real excited about that part yet.
That said, do any of you have any thoughts relative the topic of keeping the
greenhouse warm?
Thanks,
Nick Kemp

Hi
I was wondering if there are people out there who have knowledge about the
beneifits/disadvantages of lexan vs poly film for greenhouses. Is it really
worth the extra expense?
