Re: Re: I made a Germination Station

[Guest guest]

Melody, I enjoyed your growing station and it is growing, both the station and

the greens.  It looks great.  I have my things in and can begtin, but it is

rather warm in our sunroom.  I can " plant " them in here and take them out there

I guess.  I have just been tired the last few days.  Just found that my

vitamin B12 goes right through my system without dissolving.  Yuch.  Think

I'll eat some light soup for the next couple of days. 

 

Did see something interesting in the Urban Farm mag.  Actually saw lots of

interesting things, but one I wanted to mention.  There is a 2012 Urban

Agriculture Summit in Toronto, Canada  August 15-18 for anyone near there.  It

is listed on age 10 of the mag.  www.urbanagsummit.org  to check it out. 

Cover sustainable methods of food production from farm to table.  There will be

a vertical farming expert there and many other presenters including a

restauranteer from Toronto. Lightfood, CEO of BrightFarms recently

announced plans to build the world's largest rooftop farm in Brooklyn. NY.   

I don't know if he is talking of the restaurant in NY (was that Brooklyn?) that

we saw on YouTube. 

 

There is also a school in LA that had a cafeteria with a raw food bar and they

were helped by local farmers and the school funds. The school did away with the

lunch program to hire another teacher.  But they have worked to get the use of

a hill next to the school and it is terraced with plants on each level and they

go up the hill as they have money to do it.  They have students and other

volunteers to help.   They are working on putting in an orchard so they can

get back to the system they had before with the fruit and salad bar.  I hope

they have thought of sprouts as they would be easy to grow and could be don in

the the ? biology lab?  www.laleadership.org

 

That was it.  I thought it exciting and nteresting.

can see the sunnies and pea shoots that germinated in the dark (with no added

water) for approx 5 days). I don't want to be forgetting what I'm germinating so

I now will use the top left of my shelves (the sign will remind me) and that

will be that. lol

Those white growing containers (the little ones right?) are take out containers

from various places around here (for example if I buy a piece of grilled

chicken, or a knish for Alan, they put it in these white containers. I've saved

THEM ALL!!! They are perfect for the flax and chia because they come with their

own lids.

Now I need some help. On the left I have the name GERMINATION STATION. I need

a name for the right. The right shelves are where I do the greening up. So I

need a saying ...something that rhymes with microgreening or microgreening or

SOMETHING.

If I have GERMINATION STATION on the left, I have to have something cool on the

right.

lol

Isn't it all a germination station?  Maybe you need to put it across the top of

both of them.  They used to have printers - the old pin ones and the paper was

on a pull through system and you could do the neatest banners.   I did that

quite often and it was neat.  We sort of lost that ability with the new

printers.  I lost my old pin printer too.  Had to wait a long time for it to

send those little 10 pins through he ink nd into the paper.   and to go down

the page and the rackety tackety tat of the pins. Remember those?  That is what

you need.  Know anyone who is into antique computers?  They would make neat

banners.  I had to put my 2 shelving units on each side of the air conditioner

which is near the base of the wall. I couldn't put side by side.  They do hae

windows behind them and a tiny bit of wall on the outside.
