I believe this is essentially what hydroponic farming is about.


Yes, but that's not what's being discussed. If you 'predigest'

Oh! So that meant fertilize at will but not using the ingredients that
work. Moving the goalpost again?


If you don't know the difference between fertilizer and hydroponics,
you really are too pig ignorant to bother with.
