![]() Brilliant work Bill. I feel inspired. I just started gardening this year, got myself a garden very close to Martian conditions... near Uppsala, Sweden. Coincidentally, I am growing Mexican koriander. Please consider this is also important for Mexican foods, like Salsa Verde. My land is 10x100 meters and I am putting up a shelter and greenhouse. My background is molecular medicine, so I have some biology training. We were just discussing amongst some of the other gardeners there, some more serious science. You have revitalized my interests. I would like to find out what a lunar soil would consist of, including particle sizes. I am sure it will work fine as a supporting substrate, but some heavier metals, if present, could accumulate into leaves and fruits rendering them inedible. The extent of this could depend on thing like temperature, freeze-thaw cycles, particle size, moisture content, pH, etc. I shall be interested to see how your work progresses... Dominic-Luc Webb |
