It is conveniently locat- ed, and if worst comes to worst you can’t eat the stuff. Deatrick’s backyard gold mine avoids both of these weak- nesses. Each of his 13 hydro- ponic beds grow 200 plants. Each plant produces an average of 15 pounds of No. 1 tomatoes which bring a retail price of 34 cents a pound. “Since at least two crops can be planted and harvested with no / Strain, the annual gross income of Deatricks’ quarter-acre gold mine figures to reach about $26,000.” ' Deatrick’s entire farm, he adds, consists of a house and a 100-110- foot lot. (The ‘cost of soil-less agricul- ture is’ difficult to figure. The chemicals cost approximately $8 for enough to make 1,000 gallons of liquid and the liquid is con- sumed at varying rates during the growth of the plants. In addition, the ordinary costs of labor, in- terest on investment, depreciation and marketing must be deducted ! from the gross, but such costs are | different from those in ordinary farming because of the different nature of the operations.) “Soil-less growing is not new,” says Molitor. “It has been suc- | (Continued on Page Four) last | {afternoon as the result of an ac- in terms of cash, the prospects !
