Dave That depends on the State. Here in NY if you buy a pistol, you first need to be approved by the police department after background checks, etc. Rifles and shotguns don't require a permit or police check but the store must run a cursory check and the weapon is registered to you. Does that stop me from selling a shotgun or rifle? No. Pistol? Absolutely. As for being on some freekin' list? I really don't give a rats ass. If I'm not doing anything illegal why would I? If I'm growing tomatoes with hydros and they wanna come see 'em, come on ahead! Wanna take my guns, well, now they may have a problem there, as with any gun owner I suspect. People spout all the time that the gov. will use this information to confiscate all guns. Ain't no freekin' way. There are WAY too many people who legally own them that they wouldn't have a chance. Now... if someone's into illegal activity and gets busted for those lists then I'm all for it. -- Steve |

"SO WHAT" you say! So it's none of the governments business if any individual wants to buy hydroponic materials, nor if I want to check out a book, or any item like these, it's an invasion of our privacy, thats what is SO WHAT! As for guns, you can still buy a gun from a provate person without registering it, I believe possession of an unregistered hand gun is a criminal offense in some juristictions. you can still build a still as long as you don't produce a set amount past what is considered personal consumption, You must be thinking of beer and wine which has a limit of 100 gallons of beer and 100 gallons of wine per adult with a limit of 200 gallons of each per household. In St. Mary's County in Maryland, bona fide residents can sell homebrewed native wines and cider from their houses. Home distillation is not legal through the United States, its territories, and its possessions. But in New Zealand you can brew and distill all you need. In the Australian Capital Territory and in the of South Australia, you can grow up to 7 marijauna plants at one time. and thats what we really need, more guns and more booze. More booze sounds good to me! I was just stating why there's not more hydroponic groups, as for the pot growers, if they are growing thier smoke here at home, none of the money is filtering back to the terrorist, seems more sensible to legalize it, tax it (it is the largest cash crop in America) and take the money away from the wetbacks and terrorist. I am not condoning the use but someone needs to wake up and see the war on drugs is actually fueling the other world economies. Absolute agreement. One last note, doesn't take much to weed (sorry for the pun) out the conservatives from the liberals does it! In early December of 1980, I was at a house party and was discussing plans for an upcoming social organization New Year's Eve party and said "It will be $45 per person and $60 per couple." When asked what was a 'couple', I replied "It's two people who registered together." The person who asked the question then began a salvo of questions like "Do they have to be married?; do they have to living together?; What if they are gay?". My repetitive response was "Did they register together?" Someone who never met either of us said "It's easy to tell how you just voted." Another person in the room started laughing and, pointing to me, said "He's a yellow-dog Republican" and, pointing to the other person, "He's a knee-jerk liberal." One last note: It doesn't take much to weed out the conservatives from the reactionaries. I will post no further on this subject as it has more to do with politics than gardening. Dick |

Does anyone know where the Hydroponics people congregate on the Internet? Dick P.S.: If you have any tax question, try misc.taxes.moderated. It's free and has no spam. I dont understand why all the concern about the growing equipment when the USDA in West Virgina is doing 8 years worth of research on growing strawberries in hydoponics, USDA also gave Uni of Arkansas 8 years worth of grant money to study Blackberreis in hydroponics and Uni of New Hampshire was awarded 8 years for study of Blueberries. HERE WE HAVE THE USDA putting out WARNING bullitons to All in USA that the United States is about to lose their BERRY crops, due to land, water, earth pollution and the largest reason for the loss is Land Developement....and also mentions that these crops need to be done in greenhouses due to these pollutions.... now when the usda is putting out warnings as this, wouldnt you expect a few in the USA to go out and follow right along with what is being researched at the USDA? I AM as you know Rdad!! |

There are WAY too many people who legally own them that they wouldn't have a chance. You are naive. Now... if someone's into illegal activity and gets busted for those lists then I'm all for it. Of course they should. But instead they continue to pile law after law onto law abiding citizens, as if that's going to do a thing about crime. Criminals don't give a shit about gun laws, never have, and never will. But we will surely lose our rights to self-defense if we all get as complacent as you. -- Ann e-mail address is not checked |

Dick,
I'm looking for the same info. I want to put together something small, just to grow herbs. I think it would be silly to pay $150 for the Aerogarden if I can put something together in a plastic bucket. I just can't find the info. Please post if you find anything. Most of the books at Amazon seem to be geared towards large-scale gardening, or marijuana. |

There is no magic involved. You can use buckets, pipes, rain gutters, whatever. Actually, I just found a product called WaterFarm by General Hydroponics. It costs $50, and includes everything, including nutrients, growing medium, and pump. Doesn't seem like too bad a price. I already have a light and support frame. |
