The Sweet Smell of Partial Success
I returned fro a three week visit to Florida to welcome a new grandson who was born in St. Augustine on the 22 of May to find that I could gather a handful of really tasty strawberries from my greenhouse. The tomato and pepper plants have thrived and are setting fruit. Best of all, the blend of scents from mint, strawberries and various herbs is heady. On a visit to the Grow House in Denver during the Aquaponics Conference last September I noticed that they set potted plants with holes in the bottom nestled into the flood and drain grow beds. I followed that practice with my various nursery plants this year. I set the four inch peat pots into the gravel beds without any apparent negative effects.

From Beans to Marshmallow Fluffy Stuff
Theres an amazing recipe floating around on the Internet that has two ingredients, one always a crowd favorite (sugar) and the other not so much (bean juice).
I found the version I made on Chocolate-Covered Katie, where you will see a lot of attractive fluffy photos and more explanation than Ill add here.
But I do want to give you my experience so youll know what to really expect. Its never like the pictures, is it?
Here in Montana we eat a lot of beans. The best are made from scratch, but sometimes the canned variety comes in handy. But what to do with the liquid? You can add it to soup or throw it out, but why not make fluffy marshmallow stuff?
For this recipe, first drain a can of garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas. (I used a brand that included sugar and salt, a case of not checking ingredients on the label, which is a topic for another blog. Who the heck puts sugar in beans?) You should have 1/2 cup of liquid. Use the beans elsewhere. I suggest straining the liquid to eliminate any stray bits of bean.
I also recommend putting the liquid in the bowl of a stand mixer. If youre using a hand mixer, draw up a chair and maybe put on a long meditation tape or some pleasant music. If you have a TV in the kitchen, youll be able to watch at least a half-hour sitcom.
Add 1/3 cup sugar or honey or agave. Id add an optional dash of vanilla, though I didnt in this test.
On my KitchenAid mixer I started at a medium speed (4). I recommend starting with a high speed (6 or 8) because that will no doubt speed up the process.
At about 10 minutes, the mixture still looked like swirling egg whites, so I upped to 6, then 10 minutes later (still swirling egg whites) up to 8. At this point I was like, "Oh, man, this is ridiculous."
At the 25-minute mark I wondered, "Hey, is that fluff?" I could see streaks made by the wires of the beater attachment, which indicated it was thickening.
Thirty minutes from the start, success!
I was so intent on the fluffing process I didnt think to do taste tests along the way, but I sure dipped into the finished product.
Heres where your experience may vary widely from mine. I like it. In my opinion it has kind of an "off" taste. Not bad, but it makes you realize this is not the real thing. Real fluff is just sweet. If youre used to "healthy" foods that taste way different than the "regular" stuff, you wont be a bit fazed by this not being a replica of the commercial varieties.
Maybe I could have whipped it longer, but I was satisified with the texture, which was soft like thick whipped cream. It is definitely holding up after a few hours in the refrigerator.
I recommend serving it without any comment. After everyone has enjoyed it on a decadent dessert or in peanut-butter-n-fluff sandwiches, then you might reveal the secret. I doubt anyone will care. Paired with another food, you really cant tell this has, um, a secret ingredient.
I feel I could make this again.
I can guarantee I will make it for company. I cant wait to see the looks on their faces when I share the recipe.
pay attention Keep the environment from coal producers
 ....Dear Friend.s,My name is Donna Branham and I live in Mingo County, WV -- smack dab in the middle of coal mining country. Im a registered nurse and Ive seen firsthand how mining hurts the health of my community. Ive seen how it is making my community sick1and year after year its only getting worse. Mountaintop-removal coal mining blows off the tops of mountains to extract the coal that fuels our nations power plants. It has already leveled 500 mountains and buried over 1,200 miles of streams2 -- but it gets worse. It raises my communitys risk of birth defects, cancer, and heart disease.3 Right now, dozens of permits are pending for new mines and the EPA could approve them any day. If they get approved, it will mean more people get sick and more mountains get destroyed. I dont know about you, but I dont want any more families to suffer the effects of Big Coals pollution. Send a message to the EPA before its too late. Im tired of seeing families get sick just so Big Coal can increase its profits. Tell EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy to put our health first: no more mountaintop-removal coal mines. A few years ago, Island Creek Coal Company opened a mountaintop-removal coal mine two miles from the house where I grew up and where my Mom and Dad still lived. Because of the danger, my parents had to leave their home so that they could have a reasonable life. My Mom never felt at home again. After that, I knew I had to act. The coal companies are putting a burden on us, and it isnt fair. Ive got grandchildren, and I want them to live in a better world. Thats why Im calling on the EPA to put our health first, and why Im asking you to take action. Send a message to the EPA today, and let them know that families, like mine, need them to stand up to and say no to any more mountaintop-removal coal mines. Our health depends on it. There have been many times where folks, like us, worked together to make change happen. If it werent for mothers demanding a right to vote, women would still not be allowed at the polls. It takes people like you and me who get fed up enough to take action to make a change. I cant do it alone, but I know that if we stand together we can create a better life for our children and grandchildren! Tell the EPA to protect families from mountaintop-removal coal mining today. Thanks for all you do to protect our environment! Sincerely, Donna Branham Sierra Club Volunteer Mingo County, WV  P.S.

Propagating Plants From Cuttings
I like powder rather than liquid because it seems easier to deal with, but logically I dont know why I feel that way. I dont think there is a great deal of difference between brands or between powders and gels for that matter.
Willow tree cuttings among my other cuttings provide a bit of acetylsalicylic acid which promote root growth, but care must be taken as they can take over the media as they are prolific rooters.
Willow tree cuttings among your other cuttings provide a bit of acetylsalicylic acid which will promote root growth, but be careful not to let them take over the media as they are prolific rooters.
My advice is dont worry about failure, just go for it, and enjoy those plants that succeed.
Take a cutting with at least 4 leaf nodes. Cut at a 45 degree angle below the bottom node with clean snips (I use 3% H2O2). Dip in hormones and bruise the skin with a small scarape near the bottom cut to increase the odds of success. Strip off most of the leaves, and cut back larger leaves. Dunk in hormones and place the stick into the Perlite. Wait for new growth and transplant.
The chemical name for the auxin naturally produced by a plant is indole-3-acetic acid ("IAA") which is synthesized by the plant from the amino acid L-tryptophan. Auxins have a cardinal role in coordination of many growth and behavioral processes in the plants life cycle and are essential for plant body development. It was first isolated and identified in 1934, by the scientist F.W. Went at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands.
After the discovery of IAA, two synthetic auxins, indole-3-butyric acid ("IBA") and naphthaleneacetic acid ("NAA"), were discovered in 1935 to have the same functions as IAA and to be more effective in rooting stem cuttings. Later it was shown that IBA is also a naturally occurring substance in pants. Also both have been shown to be more stable than IAA.
As a result IBA and NAA are the active ingredients in most commercially available rooting hormone products.
When used correctly, it dramatically increases the odds of success with propagation. It can be used on ornamental plants, as well as corms and bulbs.Many plant hormone products also contain fungicide.
Rooting hormone is a hazardous material. Some manufacturers recommend against using rooting hormone on food plants.Do not dispose of excess rooting hormone in areas where it can contaminate water supplies or soil.It should be treated like any bioactive chemical and disposed of in a solid waste facility.

If I were to Start from Scratch
Hmmmmmm. Thats all I can say. There are so many varieties of aquaponics setups that the many enthusiasts and serious business people have developed that I doubt I could decide which would suit me best. I would likely move to Florida or Hawaii if I seriously wanted a thriving aquaponics system without the expense of a greenhouse or worrying about heat and cooling. In retrospect, Im satisfied with what I have under the circumstances. By using mostly what I had on hand in terms of containers for water and plants and dealing with a preexisting greenhouse, I have had the opportunity to exercise my ingenuity. I have been through two winters now and begin on my third full growing season. The expanded shale from Utelite has worked well for me. I abandoned my worm factory at present, but the other day when I planted some peppers and tomatoes I noticed signs that there are still red wrigglers in the grow bins in spite of the harsh winter. Since I use the aquaculture side of the aquaponics system more as a source of natural fertilizer for the grow bins, I have decided that gold fish, super cheap and rather hardy, are my best choice for now. I have added snails to the fish pond on the advice of my son who helps me with the system now and then. I got them for free at the pet store where they are considered pests. I have resolved that as the weather grows colder with the approach of winter I will make certain that the water pipes have thawing wires running along them. Meanwhile, I plan to put some beans in my grow tubes just to see what happens. The media bins are filled with mint, tomatoes and peppers on a flush and fill system with bell syphons, the rain gutter trays run with a constant flow of water and planted with herbs and strawberries. Meanwhile Im setting up container boxes out in the open yard to grow root vegetables such as carrots and turnips that dont develop very good roots in the media beds.
