Congratulating Mel
Hi Mel, my name is Ravi and I live in Tennessee I think your method is just FANTASTIC and Congratulations Mel on what will be regarded as a new form of agriculture, AND which is as important and original in its concepts and implications as Hydroponics was, and I would like to Dream up a couple of concepts and sketch them and send them to you. You need to take this to the villages and houses everywhere. I wish you were around when Mahatma Gandhi was. You both would have solved the world's hunger by now. Of course, the Mahatma would have endlessly wrote about what He grew in His Square Foot Garden everyday, possibly as a column "Gandhi's Square Foot Garden". Can I please join you in the Hydroponics efforts? I am also an engineer and contractor and am a sucker for sheer simplicity and genius.
Dear Ravi:
Thank you for your letters and last SFGH Kit. I am anxious to try the upside down tomato vine. The photos you sent are exceptional and I wondered if you take these pictures yourself or if you have someone who takes them for you. They are really good. Thank you again for the kits. I will talk with you soon.
Mel
Hi Mel,
Have fun with the kits. It is me that takes the pictures. These were taken by a Fuji 3.2 MP camera. I fill the screen. Luckily it did not shake. Printing; I have found an interesting thing, photo paper is from Sam's Club @ 16 cents per page and the ink is Stratitec Refill Ink. All this goes into my Brother MFC Printer for an unbelievably inexpensive photo printing situation. My refill costs per cartridge is 50 cents. So I print on 8.5 x 11 paper. Impresses everyone that looks at them.
Mel, I think something has come together. My being able to contact you and 10 years of prototypes & samples in the head materializing in a couple of months. Over the next few weeks, I will put together more info from the web into the folder and send it to you. For example, there is a place that has a 3' x 3' plastic box 10.5" deep that also has prolific bean output and does everything you have done; potatoes, tomatoes etc. But they want $36.95.
Your system was producing even before they were born and it was and still is free. The hunt for profit has killed everything in its birth. I want to see everyone grow their own vegetables and fruits and flowers easily and readily. SFGH is the way.
What has been accomplished by you is to take the headache out of one's own food growing. The method is simple and effective. The goal is to transfer it to hydroponics, where again you have found that it does not chemicals to do the job as many companies are touting. I believe that everyone can do their veggies and fruits naturally without complicated chemicals etc.
Enjoy the samples. Now you know my secret of photos printing. Only Brother MFCs allow refill of ink.
Ravi.
