Maynard Murray MD, the discoverer of sea solids, believed that hydroponics would play an ever-increasing role in the future for agriculture and feeding humanity. He understood that our soils were being depleted of their mineral reserves and that the crops grown in those soils were becoming more and more vitamin, mineral, and trace element deficient. Hydroponics is a technology where plants are grown in a sterile medium with all necessary nutrients provided via a solution that bathes the root system. Dr. Murray experimented with the utilization of sea water and sea solids in nutrient solutions with great success. During his later years, he built Seaponic, an extensive 10 acre farm in Ft. Meyers, Florida, where Robert Cain (SeaAgri) had the good fortune to work with him during the late 70’s.
