Plants

We looked at some cool ways to grow plants without soil yesterday. We discussed Hydro & Aquaponics and viewed quite a few examples of each. We used the awesome CoolIris 3D Wall addon for IE to view the image files on Google.


Today we planted our seeds. Everyone had the choice of flowers, veggies, and/or herbs to plant. We are germinating them hydroponically. We will be building Terrariums in our manufacturing unit in about a week. We will thereafter transplant the plants we started today into the terrariums. We will keep them in the Dome for a while to get them growing well, then students will be able take them home.
