Hi Mr. Foo, how are you?
In relation to Roberto's question:
Tuesday, April 18, 2000, 8:32:33 AM, you forwarded a statement from
Marc Cardoso at EgoGenics [ecogenics@icx.net] that indicates there's
no need for soil, due to the fact that they are producing "algae in
a symbiotic relationship with Tilapia fish"; i.e., both being water
based organisms by nature.
My organisation, ECOGENICS, has taken the concept of the
micro-farm to a very dynamic level. ....(cut)....
The Ecogenics closed loop ecosystems
maximise the per square ft profitability by growing high ticket
products such as blue green algae in a symbiotic relationship with
Tilapia fish as a result of that self sustaining combination it is
then possible to grow high value crops hydroponically .....
