i love the lettuce calculation.... like a head of lettuce grows in ONE DAY... and hey dude ...there is no nutritional value to lettuce... its a garnish.... better yet put the welfare people on a lettuce diet..
JAPAN IS IN THE FOREFRONT... or FORESKIN... what are they doing.. pumping the Fukashima water on the plants..ROOK IT GREW THIS BIG OVERNIGHT... AND IT GROW IN THE DARK TOO.. hey we can use to light the streets with this sheet..naw feed it to the poor...
THE FING JAPS OUGHT TO FOCUS MORE ON RECALLING DEADLY AIRBAGS AND STUFFING MORE ROBOT JAP WORKERS INTO RAILCARS LIKE CATTLE... oh yeah japan the quality of life... and LASTLY WHAT.. NO WATERMELON,,,???
I think we have an early candidate for the 2015 Non Sequitur of the Year.
“ushered in by the green movement”
my irony meter is peaking out.
This is nuclear-powered farming replacing the traditional solar-powered farming.
This is moronic.
Today’s food has a fraction of the nutritional value.
Put simply, if you measured the vitamins & minerals in a vegetable, take spinach just for an example, in a 6oz serving today compared with 5 decades ago, you would have to eat 10x more servings of the vegetable today to get the same nutritional value you got with one serving prior.
Growing food at the rate asserted cannot possibly be nutritious. Frankly, I believe the degradation of our food supply is a significant part of the national health problem.
“Lettuce is great in a salad and lettuce plants are conducive to being grown this way, but what about other crops?”
Iceburg has little nutritional value. But Romaine is very high in Vitamin A/K and folate and to a lesser extent another dozen vitamins and minerals. That is all I buy unless a little Iceburg is needed for Burgers.
Still, I might use this method.
I grow my own lettuce, but where I’m at in southern Alabama, lettuce season is over by early May. Too dang hot.
I can start again in October, but I do not have lettuce for summer salads.
I could use this method to grow lettuce indoors but not at the article’s scale!
I never grow iceberg. Romaine’s, butter heads and loose leafs for me. Heading lettuce is too finicky and takes too long.
