No food value to Hydro-grown vegies!
We desperately need the minerals in the soil.
If your soil is depleted, burn fallen timber and disc it into the soil.
“So radically different from the last 10,000 years of agriculture, that it may as well be happening on Mars.”

1000 heads of lettuce at 3 bucks each... raised by a robotic arm at 50k each...
Wow you can turn a healthy profit of two months rent in only 30 years.
I prefer robot farmed food over illegals and socialists handling my food.
Robots mean we do not need trespassers to harvest our food....right?
Ping for later.

As a matter of fact, I just bought some greenhouse Romaine lettuce tonight at the kosher market, seeing yet another current parasite outbreak problem with Romaine.
From CBS News: "Federal officials are warning consumers to be on guard for signs of intestinal distress if they've eaten any of more than two dozen types of salads and wraps sold by several major retailers around the U.S. In a public health alert issued Monday night, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) cited worries that beef, pork and poultry salad and wrap products may be infected by a parasite known as cyclospora cayetanenis. Distributed nationwide by Caito Foods of Indianapolis, the possibly tainted products were sold by retailers including Kroger, Trader Joe's and Walgreens. Caito learned of the problem when its supplier, Fresh Express, notified it of a recall involving some of the lettuce in products packaged under a variety of brand names...Transmitted in foods tainted by fecal matter, cyclospora can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, fatigue, body aches and fever a week or more after someone consumes food or liquid contaminated with the parasite."
BTW, the parasites have also been found in salads at McDonalds.
Are these vegetables as good as those grown out in the fresh air, rain, and with rich soil?
