Bacteria + steriods = more plant growth and unibrows

@tamoko: We'll probably have air tight personal plant pods that are chained to the moon

]]> <![CDATA[Moonflowers Grow On Lunar Surface With Bacterial Boost]]> Why wouldn't we use soil-less gardening, like Hydroponics? If you have a system that is capable of recovering the water and adding just the amount of nutrients it needs for the plants, a few gallons of nutrients could last a very long time if you're just making food for small amounts of people. I do get the self sustaining part though, the ability to get everything you need from the moon, but it just seems like it would be better to develop a way to get the nutrients out of the rock in a separate process and using a method of growth known to produce excellent results. Maybe setup the rock/bacteria thing in a separate part of the system that saturates the water with the nutrients it needs.
