What about the oceans? I know that's not the same as hydroponics, but
they are a sustainable ecosystem which do not depend on soil. The

Hi Keith,
I completely agree. I was just thinking about the

while using as little energy and material as possible.
I like the idea of the guy growing in an urban
wasteland - real urban renewal, that is.
