grow your own
So I've been working on another hobby in the last few months that has exceeded my expectations....hydroponics. No, not the Ganja relate activity. I found a design that I thought I would try on Hydroron's site. It's an Ebb and Flow design and its pretty easy to make. I just fill up the reservoir with organic nutrients and let it rip. I only check it about every week or so, which is great for a traveler like myself. I have been rewarded with more Basil, Chives, Parsley and Thyme than I know what to do with. That being said, I found it is too easy to grow your own food, and it tastes much better than the Publix stuff. I am expanding the operation to include Cucumbers, Tomatoes and Bell Peppers.

SHOW ME PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure man, I try to take some soon. Tomatoes have mutuated into these giants...who knew this stuff worked that well?
Over memorial day weekend, I planted (3) "Square foot gardens". They were 4' x 4' and 2' x 4' . Radishes, lettuce, cucumbers and bell peppers are amond the things planted.
An engineer designed this planting method to maximize food production.
