for trying to run a hydropondics 'farm' from a suspended pot (it really was REAL oregano) over the class fishtank (yes, we had one)

i figured it was a nice demonstration of water purification and ecology
the teacher disagreed
i argued
i still believe i won on arguments but authority trumps logic

windowsill and other gardening (or in school) is such a good idea for all of us

England during WWII (harsh times) had 'victory gardens'
why can't we have 'nutrition gardens'?
