From casper@mailhost.world.netTue Jun 18 09:23:41 1996 Date: Sun, 16 Jun 1996 11:47:29 +1000 (EST) From: Steven Carruthers Reply to: hydro@lists1.best.com To: hydro@lists1.best.com Subject: Hydroponic History I am attempting to chronicle the modern history of hydroponics. I have noted a reference to a hydroponic operation on Wake island preceding World War II, established and maintained by Pan American when Wake Island was a major refuelling stop. This is very interesting as previous records only record its practical revival during and after the war. I think it important that modern hydroponic history is captured. If anyone out there has any knowledge of early hydroponic work, I would be very interested in hearing from you. Any observations among our senior Hawgs would be appreciated.
