"Right now I have 10,000 bees in our living room," he says. "So I'm not just sleeping with fish, but with bees."
Oh, OK.

This seems like a dumb idea for an apartment to me, but sounds like it would make an awesome greenhouse.

I bought some hydro tomatoes. They sat on the counter for 5 weeks....not a speck of degrading...nothing...they were perfect...and because mother nature says to rot...
I threw them out and I'll NEVER BUY THEM AGAIN. THEY MUST BE GENETICALLY MODIFIED...and it was scarey to see this...

There's gotta be a joke in here somewhere, but I sure can't find it.
To: Sacajaweau
It’s sort of like buying ultra pasteurized milk. It lasts longer in the refrigerator.
They didn’t rot because they were raised in an environment where contaminants like molds and bacteria were strictly excluded. Sounds like a plus to me.

A relative of mine tried this same set-up in a greenhouse.
The tomatoes had absolutely no flavor, absolutely tasteless.

I haven’t had a good tomato in years. Even if I don’t put them in the fridge..
To: Rebelbase
Outstanding idea! The rest of you, as you were and play it safe.

I’ve got a dozen Cherokee Purple plants to put into the garden this year.

I recall an old Isaac Asimov story about an advanced society which considered delicious food to be a high cultural achievement. They had something like a Nobel Prize for the greatest chef. Food was basically variations of funghi grown in vats, but they added sophisticated chemicals to make it all taste great.
Then, one year, some guy creates a dish which is historic in its deliciousness. The judges can't rave enough about it. Finally, the guy reveals his secret -- it's something he calls "garlic" and he grew it.
One of the judges manages to gasp out, "You grew it?? In the dirt???" and then he vomits.

We used to grow tomatoes down by the river. The roots would grow under the shallow layer of soil and into the river water. BEST ‘MATERS EVER! Though I suspect that’s not the same as growing them in a limited spaced tilapia garbage can in a NYC apartment. Can you imagine the smell in that apartment, ick.

I’ve seen aquaponic setups that used a goldfish tank and a few potted plants. It can be scaled to fit the space.

I’m growing the cherokee purple - and a lot of other heirlooms - and they’re doing great!

When my daughter first moved to NYC she had a neighbor who saw her mission in life as ‘rescuing’ squirrels from Washington Square. She’d have up to 20 at a time in her NYC-sized apt. World is full of loons.

I have squirrels living in my attic. I called an exterminator and found out that it's illegal to kill squirrels in MA, so I'm kind of stuck with them.
MA is a state run by loons.
(And, no, I'm not really stuck with them -- because these things can be dealt with "unofficially".)

Buy a pet fisher cat, and turn it loose in your attic.

I went down to Fisher Cats R Us but they were fresh out.
