Hey Dave,Be careful with that one,if the womens rights groups get hold of that

what you're saying,what a concept!Stock Auctions at Hooters,Got Milk
commercials at the SuperBowl,Dolly's Real American Cheese Slices,(No Silicone
Additives). You would definetely have a huge number of Farms,a huge labor
pool to draw from,reliable labor I might add,and maybe the Chinese would start
killing most of the male babies,instead of the the females,in order to keep
fresh stock! But hey, theres another market,Chinese Milk and Soylent Green Boy
Scout Cookies! Why don't you start up a Dairy,get some hands-on experience and
let us know how it goes. Sounds like an Udderly fantastic Idea! Thanks Hugh

Hello Andrew
What I want to know is what variety are you using for 18 day
lettuce. What type of system are you using.

I'd be happy to post this if I could find it. Any idea what subject we
might have been pursuing when you posted? I've searched the logical folders
(my filing system), but haven't found it yet.
Sorry, I snipped the rest of the message -- thanks, again, Ted for your
comments (and for keeping my sense of humor alive and fed!). We all need to
be reminded to enjoy as we learn. Colored Swiss Chard (large and colorful)
would be a great choice. It's always a treat to allow visitors to "graze" a
bit through the system - keeps the interest up, and provides a great memory
trigger.

Glugg is a swedish christmas drink that I've been making for many years.
It's made of wine (blueberry in my case) steeped for several days in a
mixture of blueberries and spices, strained and served piping hot.
Cardomom seeds are the secret ingredient.

My experience is some wash, some don't. Not washing can cause your customer
to stop buying your lettuce, whether it's a complaint from them or from
someone they serve. We also don't want anyone to get sick, so we wash and
check. Of course I like to joke that if you find a live bug it means the
lettuce is safe to eat, but that bit of humor is seldom appreciated.

Is anyone else raising hybrid bream rather than tilapia in an aquaponics
system?
I'm looking for information on growout times and suggested feeding
rates.
Thanks,
Jim Sealy Jr.

just a observation
>From talking to the county auditor when he was certifying the gas pumps
while I was filling up. Where I live between federal , state, county and
city taxes all the taxes on the gas adds up to .49 per gallon and gas is
running 1.06 per gallon.
So we can't lay all the blame on the oil companies.
