Summary: Bit of a two fer today, going to spend about 10 minutes on Corona Virus an the financial hysteria going on right now and the amazing economic opportunity it is about to open up. Yes I said opportunity! It will get worse before it gets better and I think I may do a “what America should learn from CoVid-2019” show tomorrow so I will keep this all pretty brief. Today the bulk of our discussion will be about hydroponics. We will discuss several different forms of hydroponics, why pumps often do make sense, nutrient choices, best crops to grow and more. We are coming at this from a stand point of how well hydro fits the prepper mindset though, rather than just hydro for the sake of hydro.
