Growing the Impossible: Hydroponic Crops the UK Can't Grow Outdoors

Dr. Russell Sharp explores crops that struggle outdoors in the UK due to short, cool seasons and shows how hydroponics or protected cultivation can make them viable. He discusses sweet potato slips, cotton, jute, castor bean, rice trials, peanuts, melons, chillies and more, plus business opportunities for growers and the effects of climate change on crop potential. Listeners will learn which crops need grow rooms or greenhouses, which might be trialed outdoors, and ideas for commercial hydroponic production and supply to gardeners and farmers. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/fertiliser/liquid-gold-unique-complete-fertiliser/   Terka Acton Henry Agg Simon Akeroyd Souren Ala Adam Alexander Rosemary Alexander James Alexander-Sinclair Zena Alkayat Zia Allaway Sharon Amos Camilla Anderson Jill Anderson Tanya Anderson Stephen Anderton Natalie Anstey Matthew Appleby Russell Attwood Claire Austin Matthew Baber Chris Baines Craig Ball Andrea Ballard Richard Barnes Camilla Bassett-Smith Nina Baxter Joanne Beattie Lucy Bellamy Pip Bensley Pernilla Bergdahl Vanessa Berridge Matthew Biggs Andrea Blackie Judith Blacklock Bridget Blair Adrian Bloom Richard Bloom Marian Boswall Julia Boulton Val Bourne Daisy Bowie-Sell Helier Bowling Edward Bowring Steven Bradley Sue Bradley Mandy Bradshaw Christopher Brickell Frances Brown Tom Brown Ursula Buchan Jonathan Buckley Stefan Buczacki Diane Budd Adriano Bulla Lee Burkhill Deborah Burn Paula Bushell Steve Bustin Lucy Butler Ciar Byrne Lorraine Caley Alexandra Campbell Lucy Chamberlain Amy Chapman Karen Chapman Michelle Chapman Ruth Chivers Shereen Chung-Blake JP Clark Francesca Clarke Victoria Clarke Richard Claxton Philip Clayton George Clowes Nigel Colborn Tom Coleman Christopher Collins Matthew Collins Vicki Cooke Hilary Course Kenneth Cox Martyn Cox Ray Cox Simon Crawford Emma Crawforth Helen Cross Sarah Croud Ken Crowther Leanne Crozier Fiona Cumberpatch Sally Cunningham Julie Dansereau Kate Dardis Ruth Darrah Dave Darwent Holly Daulby Chris Day Jo Davey Claudia de Yong Wendy Desyllas Mark Diacono
