Dear Friend,

If you're thinking about hydroponics, you'll definitely need this information. This information covers a lot of material you'll need to know to become successful at hydroponics, including the latest developments in hydroponics, the use of beneficial insects with hydroponics, the latest also in growing baby salad greens and a collection of growers who have succeeded and how they did it. All of this is covered in Hydro 1, a newsletter I recently published for three years running.

This information will save you time and money. You'll avoid bad mistakes and ugly situations and learn secrets many people don't know. Here are some of the things I talk about which will put big dollars in your pocket month after month.

ACTUAL HYDROPONIC GROWERS AND THEIR SECRETS

Why do it the old way? Hydroponics, the Agriculture of Tomorrow, is here today! Here are just a few of the grower tips you should know about:

Worried about the economy? Try hydroponics.
Tomatoes are BIG in Nevada and Arizona - ask the growers there.
The dirt stops here! How Hydro Age makes a steady profit

This Long Island couple moved upstate where they now enjoy the fruits of their hydroponic business.
The deep pond floating raft system. How about Boston lettuce at 13.5 million heads every year!

GROW BOUNTIFUL CROPS OF BABY (OR SPECIALTY) SALAD GREENS

There's hardly a greenhouse operation in the United States or Canada which doesn't now use hydroponics for growing lettuce. The public's taste in baby salad greens has turned a lot of growers in that direction. Here are a few of those secrets you need to know about:

If you look for "baby salad greens" on the Internet, your mouth will begin to water when you read the menus.
Some growers have as many as 10-12 lettuce crops in a year
Have you thought about herbs (as well as baby salad greens) and aquaculture?
Growing specialty greens (baby salad greens) for your own tastes.
What have you got in your salad (mesclun) mix? Here are some ideas to help.
Both salad greens and herbs are grown at the Lichen-Z farm in the mountains of Southern California.
How about this basement lettuce operation that gives high rewards?
Edible flowers - admire them, eat them. Also some like them small, baby veggies that is.
Learn the NFT method for growing baby salad or specialty greens.

YOU CAN MAKE A BUNDLE BY REARING BENEFICIAL INSECTS

You know someone is raising them. And that someone is making a lot of money doing what he or she loves to do. You'll learn how to save at every corner. You can use what you rear to protect your own crops. Here are a few of those secrets you should know about:

Ladybugs - should you try to rear them?
How to rear praying mantis with the details you need to know to do it right.
Rearing crickets can be absolutely fascinating!
How about those beneficial insects, such as green lacewing, trichogramma, predator mites and wasps?
There is money to be earned in raising butterflies. One example would be supplying butterflies for weddings?
You wouldn't think so, but there's a big need for milkweed bugs.
Black Soldier Flies and nematodes are also excellent beneficial insects to rear.

HERE'S A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES

Let's switch to other news items such as growing strawberries on the "A-frame" archway or....

When you think about herbs and aquaponics why not consider bass and chives?
Learn about organic fertilizers and some plant root facts.
Let's test your water and talk about foliar feeding as well as cuttings and their care.
Do you need to know about carbon dioxide supplementation as well as greenhouse computers and their controls?
The criteria you need for HID lighting as applied for superior crop production.
If you live in the tropics, consider knowing more what these two growers do, one in Honduras, the other in Suriname.
What do you do when you have equipment failure? How to prevent it.
How to prevent having too much heat in the growing area.
Have you seen the new and fantastic greenhouse film which has come on the market?
Are you certain you're using ultra-violet sterilization methods?
How about this for something unusual to do? Raise Australian Redclaw Crayfish.
Build a simple Aztec or Inca floating hydroponic garden.

And so much more - hundreds of ideas and secrets!

There is just too much for me to list them all. The above is a very small portion of the exciting information you'll find in HYDRO 1. If you have any interest at all in hydroponics or growing plants in general, you need to know about this kind of no-holds barred information. If you really want a better way of life, this information I'm telling you about is CRITICAL to your success!

What's really exciting is that this information can be yours in a very short time! (See the following paragraphs.)

This large (nearly 100,000 word) book has 214 pages and is loaded with dynamite information to help you save a lot of dollars. Everything is revealed in plain English (like I use here). You'll find exciting descriptions of events and methods and a lot about what successful growers, both large and small are doing and how they are doing it. The book cannot be obtained at any bookstore. It is a most valuable resource.

What others are saying:

Boulevard, CA-- We've downloaded your book and are devouring it as I speak. I appreciate how straightforward the book is, and how much information is packed in each page. Thank you SO MUCH for making this available at such a reasonable price.

I am very, very serious about wanting to do this - and I will want to start out slow, get used to hydroponics and then grow as large as possible, commercially. My husband is also interested in this, and we are going through your book together.

Thank you again for your great book!
Sincerely,
David & Barbara Cooper

The Philippines

Hi Bob,

I'm Ginny Martelino from the Philippines. I'm not sure if you remember me but I was the one who ordered your book and had a difficult time downloading it and you sent me a copy instead--which I must thank you for. I have devoured it and am finishing the book on Hydroponic Crop Production by Howard Resh.

The good news on my end is we are beginning construction of our hydroponic farm of about 6,630 sq. m. (which my husband luckily inherited from his family.) We chose to construct a representative area of 250 sq.m. before going totally commercial to get a good feel of how things work. We fabricated 40 fiberglass beds and we will be growing leafy lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber. After we are successful with this representative area for about 1-2 harvests, we will go fully commercial.

As your book suggested, I did my Market Research and somehow know where I can develop my market Niche. Most of the Lettuce here is imported from Australia and during Australia's winter there is no supply. Also, the hydroponic tomato growers in the Philippines cannot seem to cope with the import requirements of Japan. Export to Japan of our tomatoes is our long term goal while there is a demand locally for lettuce. Anyway, I will give you an update of what happens to us in the near future.

That's all for now Bob. Keep your interesting newsletters coming. Hope your wife is fine.

Take care,
Ginny Martelino

Fiji Islands-- Thank you for your very thoughtful and practical newsletters. I look forward to reading them each month.

For your background, I'm in Fiji in the tropics and have mainly experience with float systems or dynamic root floatation. It's surprising how little info is available on tropical hydroponic cultivation - most info is usually for temperate climates which are not so readily applicable in the tropics.

Anyway, thanks again for the newsletter - I look forward to any thoughts you may have time to share with me on the above and of course to your next newsletter.

Regards, Ugesh mailto:ugesh.chand@basic.com.fj

Johannesburg, SA-- I have grown Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Chillies, Paprika, Lettuce, Spinach, Peas, Pumpkin, Green Peppers and Strawberries all on a small scale and experimenting with nutrient mixes, pH values, TDS and EC values - great fun!!! The only problem I have is time!! My current occupation in IT takes up most of this. I am seriously thinking about going into Hydroponics on a large scale, using my IT technical background to automate the various critical functions (climate control etc.) and marketing via the Internet. I haven't made any money yet due to my experimenting, but there is definitely potential for this - the fun I've had so far is priceless and I owe you a BIG THANK YOU!!

Thank you also for all the "freebies" and keep up the good work. When I make my first Million I'll send you a donation as well as frame the "big cheque" with a copy of your book!! :-) ...Gilbert Davies
