Ginger, turmeric, lemongrass, pineapple so far.

Nice! I would love to have my own fresh ginger.

There was a restaurant that had a ginger-something dressing that was delicious. I could have eaten that as a bowl of soup.

Working on plans for geothermal temperature buffering before I start work on the aquaponics. The fish will benefit from regulated temperatures as well - will help take the edge off the highs and lows.

Very interested in hearing about that!

I've tried several ginger dressings, have yet to experience a really good one.

Probably using a pond pump and a series of 50' ground loops of 1/2 ' PEX buried as deep as the plow on the tractor will allow. Having trouble finding the mach on how many loops I need, or what my friction loss will be pushing water thru that much PEX, which will affect pump sizing.

The restaurant closed many years ago, so I'm digging into my taste memory.

I remember it had a citrus flavor -- orange, I'm pretty sure. There must have been some vinegar to cut the sweetness, I think. It was about the color of Italian dressing, but less oily. And ginger... ah... ginger.

REALLY complicated math, much more complicated than anything I've ever done at work - even when I was doing "rocket science". OTOH, I have a well pump, and 50' of pipe buried already. I can measure temp at the well, and temp at the output at a given flow rate, use that to do my calculations.

Seems like a plan.
