Life finds a way! We are headed into nutrient removal in our WW II Class. Our Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) is currently generating good effluent we are now using to irrigate plants as part of a nutrient study. Day 4 and our first seed has sprouted. We are growing grass, two types of lettuce, and beans. When complete, students will assess the effectiveness of using land application of effluent as both a source of irrigation water and nutrients for crops.
