Student needs help

[Craig Smith]

Jon,
Look up 'hydroponic' in some web search index and you'll find lots of 
references and ads.  Better yet, go down to your library and get a book 
on the subject.  It's rather easy to do under a double 40 watt florescent 
fixture you already have or can buy at the home center for $10.  That and 
a bag of perlite, any weak fertilizer and some seeds and you're in 
business. Now, how are you going to shock the plants - perhaps tell them 
what happens to beets and radishes when they grow up.  
Good luck.
