Hydroponic Garden

The hydroponic garden has been expanded beyond the operation I saw last year. The gardener has added tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers. The plants are still grown hydroponically but not in water trays. Each plant is rooted in a very porous stone and perlite mixture and a water and nutrient solution is run through the stones on a regular basis. All of the greens that are used daily on the island still come from this garden. With the added plants it is expected that all the peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes will also be produced here. All of this is housed in a white, shade cloth structure. The pictures that are attached show the new plants and their support structures, an overall picture of the area where the greens are grown, and a picture of Chat Chai the gardener.
