Has anyone else tried "farming" from their ponds?



There is a big effort out here in the sunny desert to grow algae
commercially for all sorts of products including bio-fuel. Heck if we
could just harvest the algae grown in the ponds from this list, we could
all retire.

Any plant will grow w/o soil if adequately watered and fertilized. I
remember huge tomatoes being grown at Epcot w/ bare roots just hanging
in the air. A lot of "weed" is cultivated this way.
