[Steve]

I could have heard wrong but I thought Chris said in the video that there were other smaller plants that weren't shown.

Yes, talked to Chris and he has some more plants to show. will do another video soon!

Wow! I'm excited. Thanks for sharing the video with us.

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching

Thanks for the enlightenment @Gourmet Hawaiian Kava . I've done some very amateur gardening and I've learned some plants grow their roots down, others grow them out and not so far down. Most of my peppers I've grown have been in pots, so I haven't had a nice outdoor spot to let them spread their roots to the extent that they would go naturally, but I know they like shooting them farther down. It must be some kind of strategy to optimize water availability.

Absolutely,,,i am still trying to grow some kava in our aquaponics but too much water in our ebb and flow system. Going to try to plant higher up in a mound and see if that will be enough to work

How/when can I order some???

will certainly let every know. I talked to Chris and not sure how limited the supply will be but keeping my fingers crossed that we can try it
