Introduction to Hydroponic Strawberry Production - University of Arizona

Sep 9, 2014

Nice introductory video from Dr. Chieri Kubota with the Arizona Controlled Environment Center at the University of Arizona.

Lots of advantages in Arizona for hydroponics - no pesticides, winter production, less water use and SAME DAY delivery from the greenhouse to the store.   At five bucks a pint not that cheap though.

Interesting history of strawberry production in Arizona, including the cultivation of an everbearing variety all the way back in 1893.
