"Yes, it was good to see you. Thanks for passing out the cards. We have duckweed. Too bad you're WAY up there! :) We had a duckweed die-off when the weather changed, which caused a bunch of clogging and resulting overflows, but it's back to growing…"
"Just give us a call (or email dkupper@ecopodgardens.com) a day or two in advance. We will be around this Sunday, but the greenhouse has some projects going on, and you will have to pardon our construction and experiments. "

"I wish I had seen this earlier, Don! We should get together and compare notes...help each other to grow, and aquaponics to grow, too!"
