Lights & Lettuce

Since the Compass School Aquaponic installation last week, we've had a couple of frosts outside. Brrr! 

But, another year of frost coming late means a longer growing season, which in my book, is a good thing.

How's it going at the school?  Here's the latest news from science teacher, Eric Rhomberg.

"We've got the lights set up, and we've transplanted in a bunch of lettuce. It was pretty cool to dig up the lettuce from our outdoor garden, wash off all the dirt until they were just bare "plant", and then stick them down into the gravel hydroponic bed. Looking good!  The fish seem active and "happy", the water is beautifully clear, and the plants look healthy. We're loving it!"

I agree. Lookin' good in Bellows Falls!  Stay tuned for more updates.
