Speaker: Lillea Hartwell, ND, RH (AHG), This lecture compares and contrast research completed by the speaker when growing herbs frequently used in Mexican Traditional Medicine (MTM). Includes information on how controlled environment agriculture systems could be the future of growing herbs and how to build those systems: aquaponics, nutrient film techniques and aeroponic systems. We describe these techniques, how they can easily be built, how they can benefit those of us growing during difficult external temperatures (like 38C summer in Phoenix), and the different substrates that seem to work best. Growing techniques and medicinal uses of specific herbs in the basil and mint family are included.
