West Genesee teachers visit


On Feb. 13th, we showed our hydro- and aqua- ponics systems to two teachers from the West Genesee schools. We pointed out our Bonzai wheel and our Fish tank along with our main system. We ended the show with a movie and sent the teachers away with a bag of cilantro each.

New ways!


         
Micro Greens are certain vegetables that are harvested at a young age, usually at the fist leaf growth stage. The greens are used for gourmet salads, garnishes, or sprinkled over entrees. They can come as different flavors such as spicy and mild. They can also come in different colors. We were using rock wool to grow micro greens, but it was rather expensive so we came up with an idea to grow them with a paper towel. It has been working very well as you can see in the picture. These micro greens are a great way to spice up your life in a healthy way!
Unfortunately, this method ended up not working for us, but it was a good try!
