...acre farm, has a simple approach to growing. For each plant he has created a “tailor-made growing environment,” he says. “We pride ourselves on treating each plant as an individual.” Plants that prefer a great deal of sunlight are placed under a sunlamp, and those that need lots of water are specially treated with frequent waterings.
