hydroponic baby greens and wheat grass

When I recently heard Brian Clement say 50% of the nutrition in greens are lost in just 30 minutes I got very concerned and can't help but wonder is there any value to store bought produce even organic that's been sitting around for days.

When in Florida I witnessed Don Jansens hydroponic green house. It was several 3ft by 20ft x 8 inch deep stainless steel troughs about 3 feet above ground. The troughs were filled with pea gravel. He started his plants in soil then transplanted them into the gravel beds. He flooded the beds at least once a day from a 600 gallon tank. The tank was filled with extreemly dilute sea water. The water recirculated. I tested what he had at the time and everything was the best I ever tasted.

U have a tray of wheat grass with no soil started to see how that works.

I am going to grow baby greens hydroponicly by starting them in soil like Don did and then transplanting them to trays with gravel in them. I will water them with a garden sprayer containing the dilute sea water.

So I will haver cheap fresh greens and herbs.

Letils sprout very well in trays.

My husband's friend and co-worker has lent us his hydroponics equipment I can't wait to get it started. We have to create a place to do it though.

Good luck. Will you please keep us updated on what you learn?
