TELL ME, TELL ME IF YOU COULD
HOW MANY HERRING GROW IN THE WOOD
I'LL TELL YOU, IF YOU'LL TELL ME
HOW MANY STRAWBERRIES GROW IN THE SEA
WE'LL TELL YOU!!
More than one hundred fruits and vegetables have been grown
on the coastal desert by this remarkable new form of agriculture.
Cold deep ocean water is pumped through irrigation pipes
embedded in the soil. No salt water touches the earth but the
ground is cold (10 degrees Celsius). This produces condensate on
the pipes just like drip irrigation. But more than that, a
temperature gradient exists between root and flower that pumps
phosphates and nitrates into the plant with a Carnot efficiency
that is at least three times greater than nature can provide. The
results are unbelievable in terms of size, sweetness and rate of
growth.
CHC hasn't had the money to demonstrate these results
scientifically but honest pictures and true anecdotes (rare
commodities in the Western world) are every bit as valid. (If you
would care to question Newton's laws try jumping off a ten story
building - better yet jump off a high diving board into the sea)
Even better, start with the strawberry
story or go straight to the Garden
Book or visit the children of the ocean
seas.
