The final year included placing sheeting on the greenhouse and getting it functional. That included installing a computerized system that controls heat, fans, exhaust and water cooling. Students will learn about growing plants in a hydroponics unit. Hydropon- ics is a method of growing plants in water—with the absence of soil—using mineral nutrient solutions. Duvall said the hydroponics unit was constructed after researching similar systems online. SALEEXTENDED THROUGH “Basically it is a guttering system like you would use for your house for down- spouts,” he said. “We have holes spaced every 10 inches down each line and the lines are 10 inches apart. It goes into a FEBRUARY manifold and recirculates back into a tank where a nutrient solution is pumped back into the plants. So we will be growing the plants with zero soil. No soil at all. It will be grown in a product called Rockwool.” In addition to teaching students how to grow different plants in a controlled environment, Duvall said the greenhouse is an entrepreneurial project. The goal is to open the greenhouse to the public near the end of April. “The students will be marketing the plants to customers and helping cus- tomers with plant selection,” he said. “They will also be handling the financial side, such as collecting money and writ- ing receipts.” 10% Discount Money from greenhouse sales will be On All Monument Sales used to help fund FFA activities through- PHOTO BY JASON TRAVIS, THE CRITTENDEN PRESS If you have a loved one with an unmarked grave or out the year.
