So the plant is held in position. Usually the roots go through a large basket holding the base of the root mass and the rest trail in the liquid solution.

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

I don't think that it has to be uniform. - (a6l6e6x) - (1) - Oct. 26, 2021, 10:26:53 PM EDT
