Hydroponics in Roatan
After we went to the iguana farm, we had a bus ride to a hydroponics farm. Val, the owner, grows types of lettuces that otherwise could not be grown in the soil of Roatan. He uses PVC pipes with holes in them and a steady stream of water to grow out the roots of the plants to create lettuce to supply the island. This is more efficient and the plants are more nutritious because the stresses of soil are not acting upon the plants. Along with the farm he had a huge orchard full of different plants ranging from cashew and grapefruit trees.
