I heard of Ben Thum as the CIB go-to guy for self-made, self-watering system, a year before I actually met Ben while I was helping at the AVA MasterGrowers course. Subsequently, I was blessed by his hospitality and got to know Ben as one of the most passionate persons I have ever met: He is devotedly passionate about Nellie, passionate about growing tropical edibles cost-effectively & efficiently, and infectiously passionate about spreading his gospel of Earth-friendly sustainable living.
Ben is continually thinking up & looking for ways to improve his planting systems, to circumvent the problems of soil-based farming so that others can have an easier journey as gardeners. Where Ben leads, I would be pleased to lend a hand.
