A New Sketchbook

I love the Bienfang Sketch Notebooks with pages that are half lined and half blank for drawing.  Here is a page from one of mine:

I am writing up an experiment to see if I can save the ends of scallions and regrow them.  It will be a while before these are ready to eat.  It seemed like they got bigger just while I was trying to make a sketch, though. 

I used a 2:2:2 solution of the General Hydroponics Flora Series nutrients to feed them.

 To the right is a detail of how the new growth looked after a few days.  The inner container has holes drilled in the bottom.  It is filled with expanded clay pellets and the pipe cleaner handle allows me to easily lift the little onions out of the liquid nutrient solution and then let it drain back into the outer container every day or so. 

When the inner container is lifted completedly out, then if the liquid does not come up to the drain line marked on the outer container,  I top it off.  The inner container is opaque, which helps keep light from shining directly on the roots, and this discourages the formation of algae.
