I'm not objecting to your posting here.... but you don't
need to get news from your ISP.

You can use a different news server - I do. It's *free* and
details are available he

http://news.individual.net/

(For old-timers, this is the former cis.dfn.de - German news
server - with a new address.)

You'd just need to register and then tell your news program
where to fetch the news.

Thanks for the information. The trouble with the rec.garden.hydroponics
newsgroup is that it was never very active. If it were, I would be more
upset to not be able to get it. In any event, I cross posted because I
thought it would be of interest to both groups.

That is, I would think that any gardener would be interested in the
chemicals transported across root surfaces.
