    That’s what I thought. Leola root is a high carb root that will grow quickly on mats in a hydroponic bay.

    Currently, real life intensive vertical hydroponic gardening is great for leafy greens, but not so much for starchy or other caloric carbs.

      Thanks for bringing in a real world aspect. We’ll have to assume their methodology/tech can do better with primarily subsurface produce.

          Wow. That Naomi Wildman is such a little scamp.

          That was quite the haul! Thanks for the vid.

            I couldn’t resist. Glad you appreciated it, and that new Neelix image is all the thanks I needed.

            By the way, in the meantime, I have done some more research only to discover that there are in fact TWO Earth root vegetables that are already viable as hydroponic crops: red radishes and beets.

            The idea that Leola root is a cross between radish and beet is now firmly fixed in my mind.

              Thus further cementing my disdain. A hybrid flavor of metallic chemicals and sweetened dirt.
