Where are they getting the nutrients. You can grow plants in sand and water but there's no nutrients in sand. Hope they are using a good fertilizer. Greg

Wouldn't that be very expensive. Especially if your talking about 100's or 1,000's of acres??

Maybe a better idea is putting nutrients in the water??

He said they mulched it. Sand has some good properties but holding water or nutrients are not among them. There are lots of thing you can use for mulch, that are free or next to it. When mulch rots it makes a nice Loam,, or perhaps this is a large 'pipe'dream?

" Where are they getting the nutrients. You can grow plants in sand and water

Greg "

According to some growing experts, plants get 95% of their nutrients from

the air. Think about it - nitrogen, carbon, etc are free in the air. A mulch

made from locally available ingredients would not only cool the soil but add

nutrients as it rots. It helps hold moisture too. It is not only do-able,

but economically sound. Just takes work and know how, which he seems to bve

applying well.

I lived near the coast and had sand for soil. I added local rotten hay and

local old horse manure and grew the largest cabbages and onions ever.
