I bet the produce will taste like Crap. Much the way Most Tomatoes do today.

You are wrong. Vertical farming uses no pesticides or hormones to produce food. There are no pests either. The food is as pure as the fallen snow.

Some cool stuff being done with growing practices. Israel has incredible produce and a lot of it is grown in hothouses.

Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.

The produce I grow in my experimental Aquaponics setup tastes just fine.

Mostly I grow Kale, Swiss Chard, Cabbage, Leaks, and Strawberries because those are what I've found survives the non-heated winter temps in the greenhouse.

Exactly right. About the only tomatoes we can get here now are indoor hydroponic fake crap that taste like cardboard. We’re relying more and more on our garden even though we are at high elevation (for the east) and a short season.

Hydroponics makes an interesting vegetable. Since it’s indoors, there is no wind or turbulence. The cells are weaker and the veggies are more “tender”. Keep a fan on them and they’ll stand up more, get crispier cells and be more of what you’re looking for.

Does this thread have a gardening ping ?
