I was online for half of the weekend, since my folks were out of town and my brothers and sisters are no longer living at home since they went to college. I am so glad that I had the time to myself, and I feel like I was more productive than in the entire month prior to the weekend. I was able to sign up for the aquaponics maui association, which is a co-op of environmentally friendly farmers that live in Hawaii. They have a major problem with fresh water scarcity in Hawaii, and it is just not feasible to grow fresh organic vegetables and fruit using traditional gardening and farming methods. They have found that they can grow a much higher volume of food for the folks on the different islands by using the NFT grow system. This aquaponics technique is where the plant roots are completely submerged in nutrient dense water, causing them to grow faster than with any other method.
