Hydroponic Farms Army Grows Plants From Gravel Beds

The U S Army operates hydroponic farms near here supplying three crops yearly to Korea and Japan. Gravel beds grow lettuce tomatoes radishes cabbage cucumbers onions parsley and chard without soil. Two thirds of the produce is flown to Korea within hours of harvest and the rest serves Army hospitals and mess halls in Japan. The program started after the war to avoid soil contamination from human waste and costly US shipments. Major William Cozad calls it experimental and expensive but useful in wartime or where soil is limited or contaminated.
