The team at the mine is constantly trying new things which is good for what I do for a living :) Hydroponics has been discussed not only because of the expense of flying vegetables to the mine but the "freshness" factor as well. A hydroponic pilot project in a shipping container is beginning to take shape with the lighting still to be installed. The maintenance lead is proudly explaining the system as it has progressed so far and some of the next steps in the process. Tomatoes, peppers and lettuce have been discussed as potential first crops----looks like its salsa time!
