Richard,

A commercial running these days urges some: if you find you are digging yourself into a hole, quit digging. I suggest you consider this advice.

You try to say that producers who spend $200 on electricity can pay for the entire electrical cost with two hands of fruit. Yet, most dwarf banana plants, at least from what I read, produce 14-16 fruits per hand, I was willing to give you 20. Your post, elucidating everyone on paying for the costs:
[quote=Richard;144047]Nope./QUOTE]

But you insist on keeping on shoveling. I never brought other costs into the equation but you felt the need to defend your own post I never asked about:

Quote:
Most agricultural sites of this type have free (deeded) water, power (e.g., geothermal), or both. For example, ask harveyc what he pays for water.
And for the record, geothermal is not free. Period. Considerably less expensive after installation - yes. Free - TANSTAAFL! Then you claim you need TWICE the light intensity provided at the equator. PPLLeeaassee!

From the git-go, you have tried to hijack this thread and act like you are an expert. I'm not, and have never claimed to be. But I have studied lighting and growing in a GH extensively, as well as how much light intensity plants needs for optimal growth.

Put your digging tool on sale on e-bay and advertise as one that has shoveled tons of crap is just a couple of weeks!
