Question of the Day
Question
Answer
If you take take things to an extreme you arrive at a technique called hydroponics.
In hydroponics, plants are raised in a nutrient-rich solution. There are actually
a number of advantages to raising plants this way, because you can precisely control the
nutrients the plants get and eliminate most soil-borne diseases. To learn more
check out An introduction to Hydroponics
and an Introduction from
Hydrofarm, which has a nice library page.

Asking Questions
Can grass seed grow on a lava rock as well as it can grow on soil?
Grass seed will grow almost anywhere - you may have seen it coming up through cracks in the sidewalk,
for example. A fertilizer company once wanted to demonstrate the quality of its products so it sowed one of
its parking lots in grass and it actually did quite well! As long as a plant has enough
water and the proper nutrients, it will grow.
