As I was taking care of my houseplants this morning, I was reminded that
these babies do me the service of cleaning the air. I know most of you
know this already, but just in case you haven't thought about it in a
while, here's a few plants that are good indoor air cleaners. I think
they are especially useful to those of you with new houses or flooring
or with new furniture to absorb the various outgas products from such.
I have probably mentioned this before, sorry if I have, but I also have
an aquarium, and when I do a water change in my aquarium, I feed the old
water to the plants...basic aquaponics principle in that the fish waste
and nitrates fertilizes the plants.
Speaking of aquaponics....two questions:
Lynn Wigglesworth, are you still doing this?
Where is Paula Speraneo of S&S Aqua?
